True Image 10 works for many so the task should be to determine what is
different in your computer that prevents proper operation.
Do you have any 3rd party disk monitoring/modifying programs?
Start with a hard drive diagnostics from the manufacturer of your hard
drive.
Then try another hard drive in your computer and install Windows vista.
Use True image and see if it works.
Install your essential hardware and software periodically using True Image.
At the point it fails should indicate the cause.
