3.9 Partition Restoration Peculiarities
While restore hard disk or partition you might receive this warning:
Warning of unavailability of exclusive access to a logical drive at partition
restoration
This means the following. Operating system blocks logical drives for some
low-level operations that Acronis TrueImage tries to perform to restore a
partition. In particular, some application might work with this partition data.
Therefore, it is necessary to close all applications before restoring a partition.
In some cases Acronis TrueImage can unplug a logical drive, perform
restoration, and connect it again. (In the given situation
Reboot is replaced
by Dismount.) Sometimes it’s impossible to unplug a logical drive. Acronis
TrueImage then prompts you to reboot the PC. So, in the situation above you
can:
• close applications and click
Retry – retry to restore a partition from
an archive file,
• click
Dismount to force logical drive disconnection,
• click Reboot to reboot the PC.
You should remember that you can’t force any drive disconnection. For
example, an attempt to unplug a drive with an operating system or a swap
file would cause OS to crash.
You can unplug a logical drive in case of a data partition restoration.
