Board index » Windows Vista » Corrupted block bitmap?

Windows Vista33
I have run Vista Ultimate since November 2007 and have had very little

trouble. Lately, however, (roughly since adding SP1 RC - but I have no

proof that there is any connection) I have started to get a corrupted block

bitmap error. Can anyone please tell me:-



1. What this is?

2. How to fix the problem?

Please provide the exact text of the error message and when the error occurs

and what you are doing at that time.

Many thanks for the prompt response.



When I attempt to load an Acronis True Image Home 11 image I get the

following message:-



"Partition Error



The selected partition contains the following error: Run list corrupted.

Please note that you cannot change the file system and size of this

partition. It is recommended that you check these partitions after

restoration with your operating system disk tools."



I then ran a utility provided by Acronis which told me "File system error:

22 (Block bitmap corrupted)"



I hope that this information is helpful.

It sounds like the image you made is corrupted but I'd check with Acronis

Tech Support since this is directly connected to their software.

I have checked with Acronis Tech Support - they were the people who sent me

the test utility. I have returned the results but so fat they have not

responded with a solution.



The image is not corrupted because the Acronis Software has a facility to

check and has already reported that the image is OK.



As you can see, I have tried all the normal routes and solutions so thought

I would try these news groups in the hope of finding answers to my two

questions. So far I have not even established what a Block Bitmap is?



Many thanks for trying to help.

Sorry, but the error message is coming from Acronis True Image and the issue

is with their software. I've used Acronis TI Workstation many times

successfully on Vista so this is probably not a Vista-specific issue. I

believe Acronis has user forums and you might want to try there; otherwise

perhaps sending them another email or calling (if possible) would be the

next step.



I'm sorry that I was unable to help you.

I am grateful for your response and clearly now need to clarify the issue.

You state that the error is coming from Acronis True Image but the error

only appears in the Acronis utility when it is reporting (or purporting to

report) on the state of my hard drive. I have not tried the Acronis forums

so will follow your advice and see what happens.
