HP 5470 laptop, 1GHz Athlon, 20GB HD, Windows 2000 Pro.
I've used Drive Image now for a number of months and have made maybe a dozen images and on at least two occasions had to restore an image. Great, saved my butt!!
But now I'm getting an 1805 error every time I try to make a new image, always at the 10% point, except for one time that it just broke out with a brief black screen with white DOS type text which lasted about 2 seconds, and then went into reboot. I'm trying to figure out what's different now. Two possibilities. I am a student, and we're studying C#/.NET so we were given copies of Visual Studio.NET to install on our home computers. With such a big change I want a new image. It's been maybe three weeks since the install, I just didn't think of it till now. So is it possible that the .NET framework did something that Drive Image chokes on?
The other thing is that when I bought the laptop it came with Windows ME. I used my Partition Magic to set the ME off in its own small partition, since the CDR/CDRW/DVD that comes with the laptop needs the software that came with ME to run. I put the rest of the hard drive into a W2K partition and used BootMagic to control the boot. Well, when it came time to install .NET, I decided that I hadn't actually used the DVD since the first few weeks, almost a year ago now, so why keep ME? I deleted the ME partition, and was left with a dangling BootMagic message every time I boot, that tells me "Error finding BootMagic.IMG ... ". I believe that file used to live on the ME partition. I don't know how to get rid of it so I've just lived with it and hit the any key to get by it. Maybe that's something Drive Image is confused by?
I thought something was maybe corrupted on the drive, so I did a CHKDSK, and also ran Norton WinDoctor and did a RegClean.
I read the 1805 article at PowerQuest, and looked into the BIOS regarding the CD/DVD, and couldn't find where to turn off autodetect. It's a Phoenix BIOS and has the least stuff to play with of any BIOS I ever saw.
Any guidance at this point?
