I created an image on CD-R(W) discs, but when I try to browse it Acronis
True Image Server tells me it can’t connect this image as a virtual disk.
The current version of Acronis True Image Server can connect images only if their
files are located in the same place. If your image is located on several CD-R(W) or
hard disks, you will have to copy all its files to the same location on your hard disk.
If it’s an incremental image, you will need all the previous images up to the initial
full image.
I ran Acronis True Image Server from a bootable disk to restore a
partition (disk) from an image located on the network drive, but couldn’t
find the necessary PC.
If there’s at least one PC shown in the Network Neighborhood, try to access the
required PC by typing its address in the Filename line like \\computer\folder.
If there’s no Network icon in the My Computer, it means either network problems,
or wrong drivers that Acronis True Image Server tries to use. Contact our technical
support (
) and provide all network adapter specifications and
manufacturer’s name.
I ran Acronis True Image Server from a bootable disk to restore a
partition (disk) from an image located on the network drive, but it just
kept asking me for username and password. What should I do?
In some cases, especially when there’s a domain controller installed in the network,
you have to specify server or domain name before username. You must enter
username like SERVER\USER or DOMAIN\USER.
I received the "Can’t create image of disk D:, because it’s already used by
applications or contains bad sectors" error message, where D: stands for
my logical disk, when I tried to create an image under Windows.
Your logical disk might contain bad sectors. We recommend you to run a complete
disk surface test. Type “chkdsk /R D:” in the command line and reboot if needed.
How can I prepare Windows NT, 2000 or 2003 for cloning or transferring
to a PC with different hardware?
Before you clone or transfer Windows to another PC, you must prepare it with
Microsoft System Preparation Tool (sysprep). The reasons to do this are described
in the 298491 article of Microsoft Knowledge Base: “One problem from duplicating
an installation of Windows 2000 is that each cloned computer has the same security
identifier (SID) and computer name. This may prevent the cloned computers from
functioning correctly in a workgroup or a domain. To work around this problem,
administrators use the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) to remove
configuration settings that are unique to the computer such as the computer name
and SID." This problem also relates to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP, so you
should prepare these OS in a similar way.
