My company uses images to install OS and standard software. I am in charge of Inventory. I am trying to find a way to be able to tell what "date" a machine was imaged on. Is there a registry entry or a possible log file (other than event viewer) that would give me the date the machine was last imaged?
View 6 RepliesI'm looking ahead to the time when an attempt to do an Acronis Create Image will not be possible because there is not enough room on my external hard drive. Presently, I run a fresh Create Image monthly and now have three versions on my external drive. I can probably store a total of 5-6 before I run out of space.
Do you know what will happen when I attempt to run a Create Image and find that there is not enough room for another file?
And, does Acronis then give me a way to delete the oldest file from the E drive, or must I use some other facility, such as clicking on the oldest and selecting 'delete this file' from the selections in the vertical window on the left of the screen?
I have XP Home on my computer and am useing XP's backup program and system restore to keep out of trouble but after reading alot of post on this newsgroup I have decided I need a better way to back up my OS.

I just used Acronis to make a clone of my internal HD to an external HD connected via USB. I was under the impression this clone would be bootable. It wont boot. Someone in another forum says Windows XP doesnt support booting from a USB drive.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to perform a clean install on a older dell poweredge running Win 2000 server that i aquired a while back. What i would like to do is create a Acronis True Image of the current install and throw it on an external HD. (i want to keep the current install usable for a few weeks) Then wipe the disk and do a clean install of the OS and start fresh till i get everything running the way i like it. And also create a image of this new install and throw it on the external HD as well.
But during this span of a few weeks i would need to restore to the original install and go back to the fresh install quite a few times probalby....err toggle between the original and new install until all is well. (carry on with the fresh install when no one is in the office, when done for the night restore back to original install untill the next night i can continue with my work and toggle to the new install again and again and again.
I am trying to create a full HD image of my Dell c800 Laptop using Drive Image 7 (circa 2003) to an USB HD. I have tried twice and received failures about my HD having bad sectors OR locked sectors. I ran check disc with repair and did not find any problems. Re-ran check disc from the boot disc that came with the application and found no problems with the disc. Tried again for a backup and received the same error. I am thinking it is one of the programs I have loaded has a locked sector or one of my processes that loads during boot is the problem?

Could the pc have more than one battery.The one I replaced is one I was familiar with as being the memory battery. It is about the size of a quarter.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanted to see what date I had last accessed one of my documents so I right-clicked its icon, chose Properites and discovered the date "August 29, 2005." That would have been ok but I didn't remember even looking at that doc for over a year. It got really weird (for me at least) when I checked other documents' Properties and *every* one of them had the date "August 29, 2005" down as the date last accessed! No - I didn't look at everything on my machine on that day! I then experimented by clicking out/back in to Properties and saw that the correct access date (in this case, today) was now listed

I just noticed that the Last Used Date shown for programs in the Add/Remove list does not always agree with what I know to be the case. For instance, Bridge Baron 14 show as being last used on 3/9/2004. I just finished using it this morning so it seems like the date should be today's. The same holds true for many other programs in the list.Do I misunderstand what the Last Used date indicates?
