The point is to resize the hidden partition to the original 100mg size & get it back on the nice, fast wd1002faex.

yes, i know i can use other stuff to backup - ati-wde for instance - but i don’t want an unneeded glitch sitting around waiting to bite me! i am a devout believer in murphy. To reduce image size and speed up image creation, by default Acronis True Image 2015 only stores the hard disk sectors that contain data. My screen then goes blank and after two hours I finally rebooted my system and saw no back up. The program starts then states its going to reboot when done shut down my system. When I start up a clone job to another internal drive. now that partition is 48mg and windows backup chokes since there is not enuf space on that partition to prep the backup. I am running Windows 8 on my HP Envy system. This entire exercise is cuz ati-wde resized the hidden boot partition when i moved from a slow 2tb drive to the new, fast 1tb drive. Interestingly, if i choose to set the target size to “AS IS” ati-wde will accept that. i’ve tried ati-wde with the target partition removed, too. Have a 2nd HDD in the same computer as a storage drive. File system is NTFS, Windows 8.1 Enterprise X64 on a 128GB SSD. used win7 to partition, format & copy 200 gigs of data to it. Tested the backup speed for three imagers (all boot cd, and cold image): Acronis TI 2015, IFL v2.93 and Shadow Protect v5.2.4. Note that the “special utility” is not identified in any way. Note that the danged error msg text CANNOT be copy/pasted. you can check for the errors and correct them with a special utility. make sure that your new drive is no smaller than your old one and your partitions do not contain errors.

If i choose to set the target partition size as either “PROPORTIONAL” or “MANUAL” the program fails with the following error …įailed to move the selected data.
