Assigning Drive Letter

[Charlie]

I am running XP Pro and use Acronis for backup. I am trying to Explore a
backup archive in Acronis and I get the following error message - "Cannot
assign a drive letter to a partition from the backup archive." When I
review the System Log file I find a warning message from source Ftdisk - The
system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur. A
further explanation says "NTFS could not write data to the transaction log.
This could affect the ability of NTFS to stop or roll back the operations
for which the transaction data could not be written. NTFS could not write
data because of one or more of the following reasons:
1.. I/O requests issued by the file system to the disk subsystem might not
have been completed successfully."
I am rather sure this is an issue with XP because I can open the same
archive from a different machine. I installed a newer version of Acronis and
have the same problem. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to say I have run Chkdsk /r and still have the issue.

You have zero chance of getting any help here. Go to the Acronis help

Thanks. You are correct. I just found out it is a known Acronis problem.
