W3 SSD Partitions and volume bitmap ??

Leonid

I have upgraded to WIN 8.1 through the store download and 8.1 driver pkg. Everything is running fine.

I am trying to make a back up of my system on a local drive (DVD or flash). I installed Easeus Partition Master free version. It shows 7 partitions rather than the 5 in Diskmngt.

It says it can clone my SSD to a 32 GB flash drive. It performs a dskchk before doing the cloning, and DSKCHK  finds an error in the Volume bitmap and fails. If I do a dskchk from command line it does not show an error. I  think maybe the difference in the partitiions may show a problem. Any thoughts? Below is the Easeus report:

PS: I also installed Acronis 2014 True Image certified WIN 8.1 and it made a backup but is not booting.

I have never seen that many partitions on a drive before. Do know that some things do not allow access even for an admin unless you boot in Safe Mode.

 

Am not sure what thrid party spftware picks up, I use DiskPart to get info.

 

Below is a mildly expanded W3 with 32GB SSD with four partitions, 64GB SD card and a DVD running Win 8.1. The ESP partition contains the UEFI signatures and boot loader.
