[GIS] Mosaicking of rasters after upgrading to ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop

arcgis-10.1arcgis-desktopimage-mosaic

I just updated my ArcGIS to version 10.1. When using ArcMap, I've not been able to perform mosaicking without getting an error when I use the "Mosaic" tool in Data Management Tools -> Raster -> Raster Dataset. The error does not tell me anything. When using "Mosaic To New Raster" I don't get an error, but it also does not create the mosaic.

I've checked Environments settings to see if there was a problem there, but they seem to be correct. I'm using elevation rasters for the mosaic. Is there something that I need to do since the upgrade in order to correct this problem?

Building on the good advice from Roy, try building a raster mosaic (or raster catalog) directly in your geodatabase. Check out the helpful reference on raster data models.

To begin, in Arc catalog right click on your GDB and choose New > Mosaic Dataset...

Again, in Arc catalog right click on the newly created mosaic dataset and select "Add Rasters..." The new window will allow you to add your rasters and set the environment.
