Validate Byte-for-Byte fails under Win10 but not Win7
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2016 12:01 am
I am dual booting. Windows 7 Home Premium x64 is on one SSD and Windows 10 Pro x64 is on the other SSD, and the backup HDD is an HGST 4TB with lots of space available; all are mounted internally on SATA. I have IFW 2.99 installed on both SSDs and they have exactly the same settings in Settings (the main window) and during the attempt to make a Backup (Full). While on Win7, I can back up the Win7 SSD (all partitions) and the Win10 SSD (all partitions) to the HDD with no problems. While on Win10, I can back up the Win7 SSD with no problems, but every time I attempt to back up the WIn10 SSD, the Validate Byte-for-Byte fails almost immediately during the validate process, within the first 1/10th of the progress bar.
I suspect it's an issue with Win10 and PHYLock but don't know what settings to alter. The HDD should be fine because I can do backups all day on it with Win7 and even back up the Win 7 disk while on Win10. Regarding that sticky note about W8 and W10 Corruption, the "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" setting doesn't even exist there anymore. Win10 is the latest Anniversary Update 1607, but I also had the problem with the previous 1511. I also had the problem with IFW 2.98. The WIn10 SSD is a 512GB Samsung 850 Pro with the latest firmware; RAPID Mode is turned off.
I haven't changed General or Geometry Settings from default.
The PHYLock/VSS Settings are:
Disable Usage unchecked
Use if Locking Fails unchecked
Use and Release Lock checked
Volume Flush checked
Use Disk Storage checked
Throttle on Reads checked
Throttle on Writes checked
I've never messed with the numbers to the right; they are: 4250, 10, 8192, 600, 0, 80, 100
Memory is set in the middle
Track Writes is unchecked
The VSS Settings are all unchecked except for "Use Component Mode" and "Use VSS for Simple Operations" (the two Exclude items are checked but greyed out).
When doing a Backup (Full), the Backup Options I choose are:
Validate is unchecked
Validate Byte-for-Byte is checked
Omit Page File Data is checked
Omit Hibernation Data is checked
Log Results to File is checked
I have tried Disable TRIM both checked and unchecked, no difference
All other checkboxes are unchecked.
I have tried Compression set to Enhanced Speed - A, Standard, and None, no difference
