I've just downloaded and installed the trial version of SSR 2013 R2 on my Dell XPS-8700 which is running Windows 8.1 and is FULLY up to date.
As soon as run the recovery disk creator, I get a message that says:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive F:
I don't have a drive F: My DVD drive is set as G:
It then goes on to try accessing drives L: M: and N:, none of which exist!!!
So I thought I would bypass that step for the moment hoping that I would get the option to select the correct drive later in the process.
The next step is to select a Typical or Advanced recovery disk.
I selected Typical (default) and then got this message:
You are not creating the Symantec System Recovery Disk on the latest operating systems (Windows 8.1 Update/Windows Server 2012 R2 Update)
that are supported by the product. You can use this recovery disk to restore only Windows 8/2012 Server and earlier.
But I AM creating the SSRD on the latest operating system!!!
Any ideas please?
