View Full Version : Drive copy via CDs stops midstream

I am using Paragon Drive Backup 8.51 for the first time.

I need to copy the entire contents of one hard drive onto CDs and thence onto another computer. The Backup wizard copied HD1 onto 7 CDs without trouble.

It then copied the first CD onto HD2 on the other computer with no trouble, but it would not accept the 2nd CD. The file name the wizard indicated it was looking for agreed with the file name it found, but it still would not accept it, but asked for "the correct CD" to be inserted.

Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

Hello peterstu,

I am not sure, but as far as I know, Drive Copy product can't operate with CD/DVD at all, it can only copy directly from one HDD to another (both HDDs should be connected to one PC).

If you are trying to backup (burn) full HDD (not partition) to DVD and then restore to another PC using Drive Backup product, then please try to start restore process from the last burned DVD.

Best regards,
True

Thanks, True

Sorry! I wrote "copy" but I did in fact use "Backup" as you suggest, and I will try restoring but this time I will start with the last disc instead of the first.
