i doubt that your hard drive has anything to do with it. What SATA/RAID controller, or motherboard, do you have?

you may want to ask Acronis support directly, because it may not have support for your hardware yet.

I run Norton's Ghost 2003 from a floppy disk or Boot CD,

and, it sees my SATA drive just fine and backs it up directly

to a DVD, installing the boot disk as the boot sector on the DVD.

It will also write the backup Image file to a second partition on the SATA

drive or to another hard drive, for a 4 minute backup. NO problem.

For all hard drive backups, Ghost is my program of choice.

You don't even have to install the whole package onto your

hard drive. Just run the Ghost.exe file from any boot disk. (FD or CD)

As a side line....

I make a Ghost Image at least twice a week of my SATA (C:) drive.

As soon as the Image creation is done, I do an Image Restore.

This re-writes all the data on the C: drive in the same orderly way

that Ghost made the Image file.

After this process, my hard drive looks like this.

With the high speed of the SATA drive, this entire process of Backup and Restore takes me less than 10 minutes with Ghost 2003.

Good Luck,
