I purchased and installed Acronis V10 on my IBM Thinkcentre.
I added a new 80 gb drive as a second drive, rebooted and set up to run a
disk clone to the new drive.
The old drive had several partitions that I wanted to drop, only keeping C:
and D:, dropping E: F: and G: however in the setup for cloning there is no
option for dropping a partition.
I started the clone anyway with a proportional parttion copy which ran good
until it got 98% (99% done total) into the clone of the 23 Gb G: partition
and got a disk error. I gave it the Ignore All error option and let it run
for 30 minutes more with no further progress.
An ESC caused a shutdown after about 5 minutes. I re-booted and started the
clone again, got to the same point and would not move past the 98%.
I am reluctant to use partition magic to delete the partitions since I do
not want to do anything whatsoever to my source drive to ensure I can at
least go back to that drive until I have successfully cloned it. I intended
to drop the extra partitions on the clone.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
