In some cases, especially when there’s a domain controller installed in the network,
you have to specify server or domain name before username. You must enter a
username like SERVER\USER or DOMAIN\USER.
I received the "Can’t create image of disk D:, because it’s already used by
applications or contains bad sectors" error message, where D: stands for
my logical disk, when I tried to create an image under Windows.
Your logical disk might contain bad sectors. We recommend that you run a
complete disk surface test. Under Windows 95/98/Me, run scandisk and perform the
complete disk check. Under Windows NT/2000/XP, type “chkdsk /R D:” in the
command line and reboot.
How can I prepare Windows XP, NT or 2000 for cloning or transferring to
a PC with different hardware?
Before you clone or transfer Windows to another PC, you must prepare it with the
Microsoft System Preparation Tool (sysprep). The reasons to do this are described
in article 298491 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: “One problem from duplicating
an installation of Windows 2000 is that each cloned computer has the same security
identifier (SID) and computer name. This may prevent the cloned computers from
functioning correctly in a workgroup or a domain. To work around this problem,
administrators use the System Preparation Tool (Sysprep.exe) to remove
configuration settings that are unique to the computer, such as the computer name
and SID." This problem also relates to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP, so you
should prepare these OS in a similar way.
You can download Microsoft System Preparation Tool from
www.microsoft.com or
extract from deploy.cab located on Windows XP installation CD.
Below are brief instructions on how to prepare your hard disk for cloning or
transferring to another PC:
1. Create bootable media using the corresponding wizard in the Acronis True
Image menu.
2. Run sysprep.exe. You can specify the following as command line parameters:
-nosidgen — if you plan to delete all data from the old disk and/or don’t plan
to use the old and new disks in different PCs simultaneously
-mini — if you plan to transfer your OS to a PC with different hardware
3. Insert the Acronis True Image bootable disk into the drive and load the program
to create an image of the prepared disk.
4. Install the new disk in your PC or provide image access from the new PC.
5. Boot from the bootable disk again and restore the image to the new disk or PC.
6. Reboot.
