If anyone using Acronis True Image 10 doesn't
mind answering a simple question, please e-mail
me; I just did not want to spam the group. Thanks!

Drive Image does NOT support my h/w so I'm
looking into this app.

Oops,,,that wasn't correct. After you complete the registration process and
receive your serial number, you can then login to their website and view your
registered products. This page contains the download links for the latest update
and one identified as the basic app. If you download both (21.57 MB each) and
check their properties you'll note that they are both the same version. It
appears that they may be exactly the same setup files since I've installed the
updated version only and it works well.

Thanks for this useful information.

I also found that I could download Maxblast 4 and Maxblast for Windows which
are also free and work provided you have at least one Maxtor drive. Useful
for transferring system & data to a new drive.

I'm running W2K Wkst w/sp4 & rollup plus all updates - Acronis 7.0 will not
install - it begins to and then reaches the end and says that it was not
installed because there has been an error & then says to try later.

This action occurs with both the original & the update files.

Anyone have any idea?

Any error messages shown in the Event logs? If so, copy and contact Acronis
support for help.

Otherwise, I'd suspect a corrupt download. If that doesn't prove so, I'd look
into my system as follows:

1. Is there adequate disk space? If not, remove applications that are not used.
2. Clear out all temporary folders.
3. Defrag the HDD.
4. Run a complete system scan with a good AV app.
4. Run at least two system scans with anti-malware apps (i.e., Ad-aware &
SpyBot).
5. Make sure that the OS is up-to-date.
6. Run the SFC /scannow procedure.
See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;222471
7. Now try the Acronis install again.

I haven't been able to get the download file. I sent a msg to Acronis
and they replied that they no longer offer Email support. If their
products are better than their download and support, I'll pass.

I think you're an optimist. If Acronis make an old version of
DriveImage available free of charge then it would not make
commercial sense to offer free EMail support on top of it!
If you feel that getting to the download page is too hard then
I recommend you purchase the latest version.

Thanks - I'll try these.

I suspected a corrupt download, so I re-downloaded - same thing happened.
1-5 were done before.

Another safeguard would be to disable your anti-virus app before installing, but
be sure to also disable your internet connection while the AV app is down.

Quite the contrary. I often try an old version of software to get a
general feel for it. And, I check out their support facilities usually
a Web web site. I'm one of those guys that like to have the latest
version of whatever software I'm using so if I'm happy with the trial
version, I purchase the latest. I believe there are lots of us that do
this.

I'll try disabling my A/V also - good point.

"disable your internet connection while the AV app is down" - Absolutely!

with so many if us recommending Acronis, you should have a little faith.
Sniffing around looking for something good is part of the job of getting around
your computer - I can tell you that Acronis do a good job on support as well as
making a good program.
My only critisism of the present ver 9.0 is that there should be a possibility
to have an auto check on the validity of the image - unfortunately it is left to
the operator to do that at every occsasion and an image is no good without it
having been verified.
