Acronis "undecided" about archive's validity...?
I am dual booting WIN2K Pro and XP Pro, have Acronis TI Home version 11, and backup each OS to a removable 500GB firewire drive.
I had pretty well been using XP exclusively until about 3 weeks ago when a situation arose (virus) where I could not (and still cannot) boot into XP at all, only into Windows 2000.
When am working in W2K and I open TrueImage Home -- and attempt to either validate or restore my latest backup of the XP Pro drive (using the B&R wizard) I get the message that it is "not a valid backup archive", and if I click "Continue" anyway, I am told that the file is corrupt.
HOWEVER, using the bootable CD I can validate that same archive and get no error messages.What's happening here? Can/should I go ahead and attempt a restore from the Acronis Bootable Disk? I don't want the drive to go South on me, as I can still access the files on it...
Why am I getting these differing results while working with the exact same archive? I suspect I know why but would like to put it out to this more learned forum...
