Macrium errors on SSD
I think...I have done my homework, meaning I
I followed the suggestions of:
How To Backup Windows 10 The Safe Way With Macrium Reflect Everyday Linux User
How to Create an Image of Your PC Before Upgrading to Windows 10
1st
When choosing Win PE v5 one of the drivers was yellow, when choosing PE v10 it was all good, so I went with this one, downloaded the PE as their MR Package Download couldn't load on my old Vaio and proceeded with the
Create bootable rescue media' but USB option was not to be selected.
So where did it go? I have only C: drive - 250 crucial SSD.
2nd
I went on to the step:
Add A Macrium Boot Menu Option
and it can be clearly seen during the boot up.. which is great but knowing it will be needed once a year... how do I configure it not to be seen so to speak?
3rd
I hit 'image the disc' and pointed the destination folder to the EHDD, creation of which took around an hour.
SHould I test it? I am slightly scared it may fail. I used to be a worshipper of the linux never-fail approach of V 4.
edit// don't count your chickens...
Write operation failed - The semaphore timeout period has expired
what now?
Unable to read from disk - Error Code 121 - The semaphore timeout period has expired. - KnowledgeBase - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase
Now I get:
'Macrium Reflect aborted write failed system cannot find the file specified'
It's killing me. Absolutely no problems on W7 x64 with v4.2 and here cannot complete a basic task.
Here's what it looks like: see the attachment.
Perhaps I should only image the #3 NTFS Primary? Do I need all of them?
After applying the suggestion :
Backup aborted - Write operation failed - The request could not be performed because of an IO device error - KnowledgeBase - Macrium Reflect Knowledgebase
It was so close to finishing, but again ABORT and we're nowhere. I tried PE v 5 this time around.
S.M.A.R.T on CrystalDiskInfo and SSD-Z shows no errors :)
p.s. I have run chkdsk on both SSD and the external, no errors found.
Unable to read from disk - Error Code 121 - The semaphore timeout period has expired.
Any...any ideas are welcome.
Peace
