Unable to Create Backup Using Macrium

Asked By kpadilla 20 points N/A Posted on - 02/18/2012

Hello techyv community! I have recently installed Macrium Reflect Version 5 on my 64-bit Toshiba A505 laptop. I have tried to run Macrium Reflect from an installed drive, as I usually launch my imaging software from a rescue disk.

I enabled the option "Enable File Write Caching" before I made a backup copy of my local drives, but after completing 5% of the process on drive C:, I received the following error message: "Backup aborted! Unable to read from disk – Error Code 1117".

I have checked all of my disks using "chkdsk <drive letter :> /r /f", but I haven't found any problems with them.

Please help me solve this problem. I have always used Macrium to backup my computer, but this error really confuses me. It has extended a one-hour task into a lot of days, and I still don't have an image of my computer.

I really need to backup my files because I will be upgrading my laptop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional Version. Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
