Survival Kit Stuck < 1 Min Locking Disk

Thread needs solution

So I have an 8TB external WD Red, setup as GPT (as is my boot c drive).  I started the "Create the Acronis Survival Kit" and it went fairly quick, took about 3 mins, but for the last hour it has said "locking disk, less than 1 minute".  It seems it won't finish the process.  This is NOT a Bios booted system, it is UEFI.

Disk Management showed a 2GB partition created for Acronis, and the rest left formatted for the backup drive.

How can I get it to finish creating the survival kit?

Glenn,

It appears there is an issue with Survival Kit creation with TI 2019 version 14110.  This issue was not present in the release version 13660.

There have been a number of posts similar to yours when a GPT format disk is used.

Hello Everyone,

PLEASE NOTE - as I said in my original post, this is NOT a BIOS booted system, it is UEFI, and the drives are GPT, so can handle a single large partition.

Glenn,

The issue is that the Survival Kit, on some systems, fails to detect the system is UEFI booted.  In this case the feature defaults to Legacy/MBR and formats the disk accordingly.

Are you using Win 7 on this system by chance?
