Chuck,
Hello,i have tried this too, result same as you? I have had the same problem (trying to delete various files) and had some success using “Unlocker 1.8.7 cedrick collomb”@ http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker%5B/url%5D Regards Plain Fred

Bob Hello,
The Hitachi 500GB hard drive is in addition to my systems original “C” drive. According to Acronis (PDF download) and their recommendations the “SZ” (secure zone ) on a separate drive is where you should have your “backup image” in.The “Secure zone ” is also where the “try&decide” feature operates. In addition to the “SZ” i put another “Full Back up Image” in a different folder (same drive) so that i can delete or modify it at my discretion (cant delete an image in the “SZ” without removing the secure zone itself.) or at least i don’t know how to . Regards Plain Fred

DaveA Hello,
I too have recently installed TI 11 home 8101, and a new internal 500 gb Hitachi hard drive . I let “TI add a new hard drive” do the disk setup. and when prompted i set the “SZ” (secure zone) at 200GB. All went as planed. Maybe “TI” does not see the new hard drive (if it didnt do the install) to begin with (when choosing “Disk& Partitions” or “System State”) I have not had any problems with “TI” (other than no help from tech support) Acronis has a forum to post your questions that has helped me with my own, at least other users will respond to you! hope this is of some help. Regards Plain Fred

Hans,
Thanks for the “tip”, Along the same line how do you post a “clickable link” to a web site (that’s not previously mentioned) ?
Regards Plain Fred.

Chuck,
Not sure this is the same problem,but…I also have “MS Works” (factory installed) and couldn’t install KB955428 .The thread 726-953 “upton”also had the same. Follow “DaveA’s” last post on thread, this worked for me. Hope this helps .Regards Plain Fred

Joe et-al,
Thank’s for all your input, and expertise.

Joe,
Hello again. So if i’m reading you correctly, there is no “security risk” from “external” sources turning off “UAC” only from the “user” (or some one who has access to the PC ) messing with the system? Sorry if this is another “Fred-DUH” question, just trying to understand. Regards Plain Fred

Joe,
Hello, and thanks for the link’s. Still have this question, Are they inferring that a program can be downloaded without your knowledge? (because of turned off UAC) or that when you do download a program, you don’t have to jump through an additional hoop?, (to have it download) Regards Plain Fred

Rebel hello,
Thanks for the tip ,although i don’t really understand the difference between (turning off UAC or the “elevate without prompting”) please explain.
Regards Plain Fred
PS. I also use WinBubble V-1.74 and have changed as you suggested.

RRicardo Hello,
I have also wondered about the “secpol.msc” from woody’s book . Maybe something to do with his book being pre “SP-1” Don’t know either.
However i have also turned off the “UAC” (user account control) Go to control panel, click on “User Accounts and Family Safety” Then click
“User Accounts” Then click “turn user account on or off”, un-check the box, and reboot If every thing goes according to plan, no more “UAC”
Regards Plain Fred

Big Al,
Hello, i’m not sure this is the correct forum to post this reply but, here goes. According to the instructions in the acronis true image v11 8101 , the “secure zone is where you want to have the “back up”, not on drive “C”. (in case of hard drive failure) The “secure zone ” is not accessible to the normal operating system, so the “image is secure ” from data corruption. To view it (the image) you must “mount the image ” then it becomes visible, and can be accessed. The ” safe zone” is also where you use the “try & decide” feature to download trial software. (to be saved or discarded at your choice) As i am novice at using TI, and had none of my questions answered (from acronis) my understanding of this software is limited. I know nothing of previous editions so you may be correct. hope this helps ,Regards Plain Fred.

Big Al,
Hello,and sorry for the confusion. I added the 500Gb hard drive so that i wouldn’t have my “Full image back up” on my “C” drive, just in case of failure. My desk top “HP Pavillion” had an extra slot in the hard disk cage, that’s why i went with an internal hard drive. As far as the formating Acronis handled that with their “new hard disk installation wizard” program. (part of true image v11) All of my end was to tell the “wizard” how large to make the “acronis secure zone” (200 Gb) and the rest i can use for data storage ,whatever. The whole process didn’t seem to take long at all. maybe 30 minutes, plus another 30 or so for the back up. During my hunting for hard drives, i saw some, that were 1Tb. (Awesome!) hope that clears up your questions. Regards Plain Fred

Hello, just wanted to update. I received the “hitachi 500 Gb Sata” hard drive from “Directron”. After reviewing “HP’s” website how to install a new hard drive video (for my PC pavillion desk top) the installation went without any problems.The Acronis true image v11 has an install “new hard drive set up wizard” , That went well also. I then was able to perform (on the new hard drive) a “full image backup” with out any errors or problems. Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions, and for your advice. Regards Plain Fred

Bob, Hello
Your correct “Rip off” indeed! I used the “Directron” link and found a Hitachi Deskstar P7K500 500GB 3.5″ 7200rpm SATA 3.0Gb/s for $72.00+ shipping, in the same series as my standard HP desk top. I’ll post back and let everyone (who’s interested) know how it went, (after the install) Regards plain Fred.

Bob,
Just wanted to update. I contacted HP and talked to a “sales rep” are ya sitting down? A new Hitachi drive costs $338.00 plus shipping!
Guess it’s like trying to get parts from the local new car dealer’s “parts department” (full list price) Thanks everyone for all the “links”and info. I’ll post back when this episode of my “computer saga” has more information. Regards Fred.
