MigrateEasy read or write errors

Thread needs solution

Hi everybody, I'm sorry, I'm French and I hope I can explain my problem.
I've already used Migrate Easy without problem.
But in this case, it don't work.
I've a HD (20 Go) and I wich migrate it on a bigger (160 Go).
I only installed Migrate Easy, evaluation version.
I choose Manually and I give 50 Go at C.
On the first disk, there is an hide partition.

All is ok, the pc reboot to do the migrate. But at phase 3, after 83%, I receive error : "Failed to read disk 1 - sector xxxxxx". I do Ignore and this message come back yet 2 ou 3. After, it's "Failed to write on disk 2 - sectr xxxx" several times;. I do also Ignore but it very slow and after one hour I turn off the computer.

I looked for solution into the base knowledge.
First, I tried chkdsk /r, any sectors repaired but it don't change anything.

I found to install SnapAPI. I did that, computer reboot and acronis motor loading. After, he found any bad sector and I continue with the same parameters. But it don't want perfor because its a evaluation version ...
Then I reboot the computer, but now I can't have XP, only Acronis lancor ..

How can I
1) boot XP
2) migrate my HD

Thanks for your help !

Hello de Selys Camille,

Ler me assist you.

First of all please note that you can download a full version of Acronis Migrate Easy from your account. See this KB article for the instructions.

1. Most likely, Master Boot Record became corrupted for some reasons and that's why you can boot to Windows. Please repair it manually the following way:

  • Boot the computer from the installation CD, start Recovery Console and run fixmbr and fixboot commands.

Further information is available at this article.

2. I may suggest you to migrate your hard drive using a bootable CD (Tools -> Create bootable media) to avoid any issues with applications running with Windows.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Thanks Ilya.
Ok for the fixmbr, XP boot now.
After, I tried with Acronis bootable cd but at 1minute 46 seconds before the end, all blocked (mouse can't move) and I must reboot with the button.
What can I try ?

Hello de Selys Camille,

Please try to start Boot CD the following way:

- Boot the computer from Acronis Bootable Media (Full version);

- Hit F11 key after the "Starting Acronis Loader..." message appears and you get to the selection screen of the program;
- After you get the "Linux Kernel Settings" prompt, please add "acpi=off noapic" parameter (without quotes) to the end of the Linux kernel command line (so it will be "quiet acpi=off noapic");
Please let me know if the issue still persists.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, I was busy all the day. Thanks for your message.
I tried to hit F11 during loading Acronis but I've only ¨[[23~ on the screen (under Acronis logo and "Please, wait during loading) and after a long time Migrate easy is booting. But perhaps is because is not the full version, only Migrate easy version ?/AcronisMigrateEasy7.0.644_s_e.iso

Perhaps I must download TrueImage (eval version) to do a full boot cd ?
Thanks for your help !
