Re: Stuck at 1% "Creating Recovery Point"

Furlock · ‎08-01-2012

I bought it as a download almost a year a go. I guess I'll go look on the site, because I think that's where I got it when I reinstalled NG.

Edit: Alright, I've found it, and I'll try doing the backup from the disk tonight while I sleep. Hopefully it won't require any input.

Oh, and quick question for the sake of curiosity. Why didn't you have me verify the integrity of the recovery point of the one I had already made? Isn't that the one that I'm having the problem with in the first place?

You can certainly verify the one you have . I thought you wanted a current backup. That's why I suggested you try a cold backup.

No no, I do. That is what I'd like, but what I'd like even more is for the weekly backups I've scheduled to not get stuck on 1%, like I originally posted about.

Anyway, I tried backing my computer up after booting from the SRD disk, but for some reason, it didn't recognize my F: drive (USB port where my external HDD is plugged in) at all. It saw every drive on my computer, save for the disk drives and C: drive, as FLOPPY DISK DRIVES. I don't even know how that works. I don't have a single floppy drive on my computer, and never have. As such, this left me unable to back up my computer, as it wouldn't make sense to backup a disk to itself.

What should I do now? Oh, and I verified the initial recovery point I made, and it didn't find anything wrong with it.

Is this a USB 3 drive by chance? From the SRD, if you open a command prompt and type...

Diskpart [enter]

List volume [enter]

..does it get listed then?

Furlock · ‎08-01-2012

I'll try that tonight.

And yes, it is a USB 3 device. Is there a problem with the SRD recognizing that?

Yep. Microsoft does not support USB 3 until Windows 8 (WinPE 4). You need either a USB 2 cable or try different ports.

Furlock · ‎08-01-2012

Well....that's terribly unfortunate. Not sure what I'm going to do about this, since I don't exactly have the money to go out and get a USB cable, especially since this HDD uses a special hookup for the cradle the drive itself rests on. I suppose I can try other ports, though. Hopefully one of them will work.
