TBWinRE IFW byte-for-byte verify failure
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2016 9:28 pm
I have a recently configured Windows 10 Home x64 PC (created from a WIN10 .iso, not an "upgrade"). Windows 10 is installed and boots from a dedicated C: boot SSD. There are additional data disk drives onto which backups can be written. I did a full install of Image for Windows 2.99.
When taking a backup of the C: disk with Image for Windows (from within Windows) using byte-for-byte validation the backup completes without errors.
If I use Image for Linux (boots from a memory stick) to take a full backup of the C: boot disk with byte-for-byte validation the backup completes with no errors.
If I boot from a TBWinRE memory stick and use Image for Windows to take a full backup of the same C: disk drive (saving to the same disk drive used by the above IFW and IFL), the byte-for-byte validation always fails near the end of the compare – "the image is corrupt".
Since IFW and IFL always runs successfully, I assume that the validation failure of IFW under TBWinRE is not hardware related. Why does TBWinRE Image for Windows fail the byte-for-byte validation test?
Thanks
