acronis image failure in windwos 8

Thread needs solution

I started making an image in windows 8 V.8 not 8.1 . about 70% into the image it gave me an error message (disk read errors ) asking me to skip or retry ... so I did a disk error check of the secondary drive and windows said it was good ...anyone have any experience with this happening to them? thank you

This may or may not be relevant but I have had issues with Acronis when the drive was not formatted by Windows but by a third party tool. Reformatting in Windows rectified the problem, but reformatting presents its own issues of course.

Run chkdsk /r on each partition of the source drive, and on the target backup drive. If there are hidden partitions, assign letters to them so you can chkdsk.
Also run a drive checking utility from the drive manufacturer, as those sometimes catch errors missed by chkdsk.
