About a third of Acronis restored files are corrupted / unreadable

I have a couple of encounters:
if I restore entire partition from an Acronis .tib image,
no issue.

However, if I select a folder (not system folder but
just a directory containing data files), quite a number
of files will be corrupt / unreadable & whenever the
PC (holding the restored files) are booted up, it will
prompt (in a light blue screen) to run chkdsk : there's
2 times of prompting.

After bootup, those files restored can't be read /
copied out.

I've encountered this on an Acer Travelmate laptop
(restoring c:\mydatadir) & on a Thinkpad (restoring
d:\data ).

Both laptops are on Win XP Professional SP3

I did not select Acronis "universal restore", just a
usual restore.

The very same Acronis images if restored as a whole
to a partition/drive will not result in this issue.

Any idea?

How do I mount a TIB file using Windows Explorer?

I suspect the way I go about doing restore (or selecting folders
for restore) in Acronis is incorrect. Likely not a PC/Acronis issue
but a case of using it correctly

Hi Shahzoor,

Refer to attached "Windows Explorer" screen shot:

There's no "Mount" option shown when I right-click.

Q1:
Must I have Acronis True Echo Enterprise installed
on my Win XP laptop in order to get this "Mount"
option?

Q2:
My Acronis version was quite old (dated 2008) &
I've misplaced my original media. Can I download
some sort of 'reader' which could do selective
extraction of files/folders (just like Ghost Explorer
reading / extracting a backup Ghost image ) ?
Let me know the link to download this reader or
'Acronis explorer'

Can an older or newer version of Acronis True Echo Enterprise
mount a tib file that's created using a different Acronis version?

Any url that I can download from Acronis just the mounting
utility or I'll have to install the full Acronis True Echo Enterprise
