Cause

There is any type of USB storage device attached to the machine during the operation (USB hard drive, card reader etc).

Solution

Temporarily detach any USB storage device that is plugged in. Perform the operation with the USB storage device detached.

If you have an inbuilt card reader, then disable it through Windows Device Manager:

1. Hit Start-Run to get to the command prompt;
2. Type in devmgmt.msc and hit Enter:

   

3. In the Device Manager window locate your card reader:

   

4. Right-click on the card reader and select Disable:

   

   

5. The card reader will then appear as disabled:

   

6. With the card reader disabled, reattempt the operation

Also, as a workaround, you can try performing the same operation from Acronis Bootable Rescue Media.
