Partition Restoration Peculiarities
While restore hard disk or partition you might receive this warning:
Warning of unavailability of exclusive access to a logical drive at partition
restoration
This means the following. Operating system blocks logical drives for some
low-level operations that Acronis TrueImage tries to perform to restore a
partition. In particular, some application might work with this partition data.
Therefore, it is necessary to close all applications before restoring a partition.
In some cases Acronis TrueImage can
unplug
a logical drive, perform
restoration, and
connect
it again. (In the given situation
Reboot
is replaced
by
Dismount
.) Sometimes it
’
s impossible to unplug a logical drive. Acronis
TrueImage then prompts you to reboot the PC. So, in the situation above you
can:
•
close applications and click
Retry
– retry to restore a partition from
an archive file,
•
click
Dismount
to force logical drive disconnection,
•
click
Reboot
to reboot the PC.
You should remember that you can
’
t force any drive disconnection. For
example, an attempt to unplug a drive with an operating system or a swap
file would cause OS to crash.
You can unplug a logical drive in case of a data partition restoration.
