    My source USB drive disconnects during backup on Windows 11


    While doing a backup in Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office software, and backing up USB source drive to a USB BU destination drive, after a few GBs, the source USB drive disconnects during the BU. I have confirmed that it is not the software with Acronis. I have moved the USB source drive around to 5 different USB ports. I have run CHKDSK on the source USB drive and it has no errors. I have been backing up this source USB drive for 6 years in Windows 10x64. Only when I switched to Windows 11 has the BUs stopped working. It must be noted, that the disconnect is so severe that I have to reboot to

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk

    System connects and disconnects USB drives...

    Thanks Bree, but doing so made no difference.

    I've been researching this issue, including event ID 51. Most seems to suggest that the drive is failing, but that isn't for my drive. The USB 3.0 hub on the monitor does not have the system connect/disconnect issue, transferring 11 GBs of data didn't even take long:

    The most helpful advice had been this one:

    USB port mess... - Windows 7 Help Forums

    Yes, my own post from four years ego in Windows 7 forum, pretty much forgot that the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH motherboard has a hardware issue related to the USB ports.

    Maybe removing all USB hubs/devices, let Windows 10 detect them and install the driver(s) would resolve this. After reading through my link above, I am not inclined to do that at this time...

    Again, thanks for your help Bree...
