Has anyone had any success running Drive Image 7,
on an AMD 64 cpu/K8V motherboard?

I have used drive image, since version 2, on several
systems, for the past few years, up to Version 7 on
my A7N8X motherboard ... with no problems.

I just installed the K8V motherboard, and an AMD64 3400
cpu ....and everything is fine, UNTIL I install Drive Image 7.
Then, tho Drive Image 7 seems to work fine .... I receive
non-stop 'Disk Errors' (the error is something about 'The Disk is
not ready" on 2 of my 4 drives. (1 sata and 1 ide) .... always
the same two disks. Soon as I uninstall Drive Image 7 (and the
associated .net framework) the errors stop ....

Anyone?
 
I believe I read a recent post regarding incompatibility between DI7 and
Sata

I dunno, but I still tend to beleive it has something to do with
this motherboard. (Asus K8V) ... prior to this board, I had an
A7N8X, and one sata hd, and two IDE ... drive Image 7 worked
flawlessly for the year plus I had it on that ... now I have:
K8V motherboard, two Sata drives, two IDE drives ....and
I cant install Drive Image 7, without getting non-stop 'Disk is not
ready for access' errors in my event viewer, on ONE of the sata
drives, and ONE of the IDE drives ..... (the same two, everytime)
I'm hoping there is just something that needs to be changed in
the bios or something.

FWIW, I have used DI7 to create/restore images of SATA drives
connected to the 4 port SIL3114 controller on a Tyan
S2885 motherboard.

The system belongs to a friend of mine and our current
problem is getting the system to be able to boot from
that SATA controller when there are 4 drives in RAID 1+0.
Tyan tells us it is possible, but they are very evasive
when we try to get detailed instructions.
However, when we boot from a PATA drive there is no problem
installing and using DI7 with the SATA drives.
 
i don't have any problem with drive image 7 on a SATA western digital 120
gigs NTFS or FAT 32, with windows XP pro /sp1

I'm running V2i Protector Desktop (basically the same program with
extra tricks) and I get the error on one drive - but the backups are
fine. I've checked them out thoroughly and had perfect results. I
didn't notice the errors until I saw you post and looked. I dunno,
have you actually had failures running the backup or just the log
messages? I only have the one SATA drive, but it's drive C: and I've
recovered it many times with no problem.

Haven't bothered to see if it restored the images okay. As it
turns out, the constant 'Disk is not ready' errors in the even viewer
are being caused by the v2i protector service ... and the disk
being tagged not ready, causing problems for other programs
that try to access the disk ...i.e. System Mechanics System Shield
program wont work on it, also reporting "disk is not ready'........
That combinded with the ton of red error messages in the event
viewer everyday ... and I don't want to get into the habit of
'ignoring' error messages in the event viewer ... I just uninstalled
drive image 7 (and the net framework along with it) until I
can find a resolution.

In the meantime, I am trying to use the Drive Image 2002, that
came with 7 ..... it seems to make images okay, but will not
run from within windows like it should. (I mean, where it supposed
to reboot automatically and do the operation) .. but, it works
when booting from floppy .... so, I am just using this till I find
some resolution.
 
Are you using HyperThreading?

Oh Duh. And I have a 3400+.


Yes ... HyperTransport ... (instead of hyperthreading?)

I can only say that I have a P4P800 Deluxe and when hyperthreading is
enabled, DI 2002 will not work. When Hyperthreading is disabled, DI
2002 works fine. I have no idea why!!

I also have a p4p800dlx. DI 2002 works fine for me using the floppies.
Using DI 2002 directly from XPpro does cause hickups in the sence that
the system simply reboots without doing a backup.

Restore using floppies is also painless.

After many years I have come to depend on DI and will stick with it.
