Hi folks - can anyone tell me if they have come across this problem which has got me puzzled::
For years I've been imaging partitions using Acronis TrueImage and its never let me down - until I tried it on m y new Vaio A417M laptop..!!.
Having reconfigured the factory default programs to those which I prefer to keep and then added a few progs of my own I decided to install TrueImage and take an image C:/ and store it on D:/ with a view to burning the images to CD later.
Before burning I thought I ought to check I could access the image files by running TrueImage under Windows and selecting to restore an image, The prog went through the usual procedure of asking me to reboot and upon reboot came up with the normal TrueImage loader screen where I then tried to browse to the image file.
On trying this to my surprise up popped a screen error message saying that Trueimage couldnt find any drives on my computer!!
I've tried this a couple of times, even going back to the factory default installation without any tweaks on my part and keep running into the same problem.
I wonder if Sony's 'hidden' recovery partition is screwing Trueimage up....... or maybe the fact that my optical drive has a problem reading CDRs is a factor - whatever......
Can anyone throw some light onto this prob with answers to the following questions:
- has anyone got experience of this problem and come up with an answer
- can anyone confirm TrueImage works for them?
- if TrueImage has a problem can anyone recommend any other imaging software which they know works?
PS Im using version 7.613b of TrueImage
Thanks
Jim
