Login to post comments 3 replies [Last post] Wed, 2009-10-21 22:34 Niki H Offline Beginner Joined: 2009-10-21 Posts: 4 In cloning a 250GB IDE drive to a 250GB SATA drive (which I've done at least 50x between 3 computers), True Image keeps stopping at 15% complete. It eventually pops up an error about an hour later that it's "Unable to write disk 1 sector 33741423" and gives options of Retry, Ignore, ignore All. Selecting any of the options does nothing other than make the hard drive light go back on as if it's trying to continue. On the second cloning attempt I completely formatted the drive first so it was clean, and True Image still hung at 15% with the same message. I suspected a virus on the SATA drive when it started to just bluescreen after I installed something suspicious, and rather than deal with it, just switched to my back up drive and installed the few updates on it I was missing. I then thought the hard drive was going bad, but I've run WindowsXP error-checking on it, I've reformatted it, and also ran Western Digital's Data Lifeguard's extended test. Everything keeps checking out ok with zero errors and I can read/write to the disk without any problems. Drive makes no noises other than usual read/write spinning and there's no delay accessing anything. My system is WinXP Pro with all updates and True Image version 8. Both of the drives are probably 6 years old and I wouldn't mind replaci

I am trying to clone and upgrade to a Western Digital 120GB drive. I am using Acronis Home 10. I connected the new drive via usb to ide adapter (only https://forum.acronis.com/forum/5003 thing here is the usb on the r32 is 1.1. Adapter IS backward compatible). I then started acronis. I selected manual clone, and then resized the predesktop partition area to match the current partition size (1.42GB). I then resized the main NTFS to the remainder of the drive. Acronis then reboots the system, and the process starts. When it actually starts cloning the first partition, I get the error "Error: Unable to write Disk 2 Sector xxxxx". THis happens sometimes http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=43075 as quick as zero percent complete, and as late as 7 percent complete. The sector listed changes. It gives me the option to Retry, Ignore or Ignore All. Retry does nothing, and Ignore only increases the unwriteable sector number by one. I tried formating the new drive NTFS, and then scanning. It showed no errors. I can save info to it when it is formatted NTFS (and assigned a drive letter). I tried to follow the FAQ guide on this, but have failed miserably I have emailed Acronis, but haven't heard back yet... Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!!

Cobb, PA USA I had a similar problem using Acronis 9. Try Partition Magic 8, that sorted it for me. Re-partition and reformat first using PM, if you go that way. Note: I used the USB-ports of my main PC, with the connector-bits from two 2.5" external USB-cases. _________________Lovely day for a Guinness!

Acronis went through phase 1 of its cloning process up until about 99% when it came up with the error: "Error: Unable to write disk 2 sector xxxxxxx" With the options to retry, ignore, or ignore all. On phase two, where it's trying to error unable read the partition of the recovery on the original, it gave the same error from the beginning. Every time I hit retry, the error would pop up again. I hit ignore once, just to see what happened, and it would give the error, but the sector number would have gone up by one. I just hit the ignore all button, being at a loss, and now it's just sitting at 0% and has been for error unable to the last half hour or so. What do I need to do to make this thing work? I'm at a loss here. -Lex Lexgarrett, Mar 13, 2010 #1 Sponsor Noyb Trusted Advisor Joined: May 25, 2005 Messages: 19,984 Sounds like a bad sector on the new HDD ...

Maybe log your own question if that does not work. Try running the dos command CHKDSK /R as suggested by acronis on the source data drive. I would also recommend the cloning is started from an Acronis True Image Boot CD so you have dedicated resources....i.e Windows is not running in the background. warrior19, Mar 13, 2010 #4 Noyb Trusted Advisor Joined: May 25, 2005 Messages: 19,984 Shouldn't hurt the Source of the Clone Noyb, Mar 13, 2010 #5 warrior19 Joined: Oct 3, 2009 Messages: 984 P.S. .......
