Why can't I EXPLORE an image using Acronis True Image ver. 8?

Every time I try to explore an image, I get the message, "cannot assign
a drive letter to a partition from the image archive."

I'm using XP Pro w/FAT 32 (SP2 with all the current updates)

The images I'm trying to explore are not in a Secure Zone. They are on
a couple of outboard drives.

In the window to select the image to be explored there is a FAT 32 & a
FAT 16 partition shown.

I have tried assigning drive letters to each partition and it doesn't
work.

I have tried assigning a drive letter to only a single partition and it
doesn't work.

I have been able to do this in the past, but I always had a problem
doing it. It was never as simple as the HELP section makes it seem.

Also, does anyone know of a simpler program to back up an entire C:
drive?

One like the old Drive Image for FAT 16 drives?

That program didn't have all the fancy frills, but it was so simple a
5-year-old could do it, and it worked flawlessly every time. All these
bells and whistles in these new backups like Acronis TI are just too
complicated.

Thank you.
