Solution: Error 1 This operation is not supported. This may be because this
operation does not currently work with the current file system or partition
type

Cause 1: This error can be caused by IBM's SMART Defender software.

Fix 1: If you have IBM's SMART Defender installed on your hard drive,
disable it before running Drive Image.



Cause 2: This error can be caused by removable media, such as Iomega Jaz/Zip
drives, printers with memory cards, digital camera cards, or camcorders.

Fix 2: Disconnect the removable media device while running Drive Image. In
the case of Jaz or Zip drives, you may also need to enter your BIOS Setup
program during bootup and set these devices to "None" in the IDE detection
area.



Cause 3: This error can be caused by antivirus software.

Fix 3: Before running Drive Image, disable any antivirus programs running on
the machine, both in Windows and (if applicable) in the BIOS.



Cause 4: This error is reported if you run Drive Image in Windows and have a
partition on your hard disk that Drive Image is unable to recognize, such as
BSDI's 9F partition type.

Fix 4: Run Drive Image from the rescue diskettes. This only lets you get
past Error 1 so you can run Drive Image and create images of supported
partition types. It does not allow you to create images of unsupported or
unrecognizable partition types.



Cause 5: This error can be caused if the file PQVX.VXD from PartitionMagic
4.0 (or earlier) is present on your machine. This file is stored in the
\Windows\System folder.

Fix 5: Uninstall version 4.0 or earlier of PartitionMagic, uninstall your
current version of Drive Image, and then reinstall your current version of
Drive Image. If you need to use PartitionMagic, run it from the
PartitionMagic rescue diskettes.

Hi Dave. I checked Powerquest but it was down at that time but I've
since been there and seen the above. The only possibility on the list
is that I disconnected my zip drive as I thought I may have had psu
problems. I'm just about to re-connect the drive and see what happens.
Thanks for the input, I'll let you know if that worked, although I
don't understand how it did work after the chkdsk stuff and then failed
again.
No good. It makes no difference whether I have the zip drive connected
or disconnected, I still get 'error 1' and Drive Image 2002 won't start.
None of the other reasons listed seem to have any bearing on this
problem. so I'm at a loss at the moment as to what to do.
I've done some more chkdsk tests but no more errors were detected. I've
also removed/installed Drive Image.
Any ideas please?
