What is locking the partition

When making a image based BU of one whole partition with AcronisTI home2010 I
get message that the partition is locked . No other application is running
and I have closed all possible background processes (in the rigth lower
corner). The partition is still locked .
Can anyone give me a hint how I can find out what process is locking a
particular partition i Win XP SP3. I dont see it in the task manager
Thanks for any help.

Did you create a bootable CD disc and try it that way?

Hi Bjolen,
See if this applies to your situation:

Otherwise, you should ask at the Acronis True Image Home Forum -
