Hi Carlo,

the best solution is to open the Audya case, unplug the HD form Audya and plug it via an "USB to IDE Adaptor" to a PC.

The the copy-process needs only 30 Minutes !

Don´t forget to use the "sector-copy" mode, otherwise your backup will not be correct !!!

This is wath i allready have done. Still impossible to make an image of the disk. After a while, Harddisk beginns to spinning and i get a message from Acronis : "Can not read from Sector xxxxxxxx" I think something is wrong with the Harddisk.

I was able to copy all the Data from the Harddisk. Can I simply copy the data to a new harddisk and plug it in my Audya ?

AfaIk formatting an USB-Stick is not possible with Audya.

If you can´t write on it : Is it possible that it´s write protected ( sometimes these small sliders move while plugging in the stick ! )?

I can still write to the USB-stick. Only formatting is not working, weather it is formatting a USB-stick, or a new (SSD)-Harddisk


What´s the Filesystem on the stick ? You should use FAT32 instead of NTFS.

It is FAT32
