Regardless what I said...
I never thot I purposely deleted the drive. What Rap said makes sense to me as I do remember that the only way I cud restore was to let the program wipe the HD first.
Then, what happened, was there was a bad sector on the removable and so the backup cud not restore and then nothing was recognized, again, as Rap said.
my Acronis is #11
The Acronis tech (4th one) sent me an update of home 2011, a different program, which cud restore; not backup. twas a trial version. After 3 attempts, it did manage to restore.
I now have a 2nd ext drive, which I will use to alternate with the 1st ext, which was apparently fixed by ckdsk.
However, I am afraid to restore in the future.
Will VERIFY eliminate this problem? Something I never did before, btw |
