Acronis True Image question

Trying to clone a disk and after analysing, locking and checking
partitions fine, it comes up with a message stating it cannot write to
Disk 4 sector 1265125. This is very odd as Disk 4 is the source disk?
I have run it a couple of times and have made absolutely sure I have
the correct source disk but get the same error message each time. Disk
4 is my boot disk and it's working fine - I think!! At least that's
what I booted into to write this.

TIA



cheers,
Len

Have you made the True Image Emergency Recovery disk? If yes, boot from the
disk and then run your clone operation.

If that doesn't resolve it, check out the Acronis forums:

Len - Are you designating the source as the backup destination?

Nope double checked and treble checked! Source is Disk4 and
Destination is Disk 1 clearly shown in the progress report on Acronis
before I reboot to let it do it!

Acronis numbers disks differently than rest of world. Disk 0 becomes disk 1
etc.
This caused me some confusion the first time I used True Image.
