acronis true image 2015 drive not booting

However, I never actually attempted to restore my back-up because I already had a working build.

I got through them all & yea the Acronis boot disk worked.

This one caused all sorts of driver issues in my Windows 7 build. That was not at all fun as I've never had a BIOS update that gave me any problems. The solution that worked was to flash my BIOS with some UEFI BIOS from Gigabyte (my MB maker). Acronis support did work with me so I can’t fault them. I really don't understand why Acronis failed me so badly. blah My hardware is not new & is a very popular chipset. I tried them all & more, more given by Acronis support. That is after you've attempted all the fixes they post here. I typcially use USB flash drives and let ACronis build them from witin the application instead of using CD's (if possible). Your OS won't boot if you forget to change it back, but this won't actually impact your OS - just allow the ramdisk to be created if that is the problem.Īlso, wouldnt' hurt to recreate the booable media - just in case. A temporary work-a-round could be to change your SATA mode to AHCI (if it is indeed RAID in the bios) ,simply for the purpose of booting into the media as that removes the bios limitation of a 500Mb Ramdisk. If your OS is UEFI/GP OS install, you want UEFI boot mode for the recovery media (black screen with white text for the initial menu).Īlso, I've had trouble with bootable media hanging when the system bios SATA mode is set to RAID instead of AHCI due to the RAID setting having a 500Mb limit for the RamDisk size that Acronis may surpass. If your system is a Legacy/MBR OS install, you want to make sure you're booting the Acronis media in Legacy/MBR mode too (colorful menu choices to start with). You may also want to make sure that you're booting into the correct version of the offline recovery media.

Screenshots (hopefully they can be accessed): I've attempted various fixes, EFI, no-EFI, Auto & SATA, IDE, RAID (which I am using). It will not get that main menu screen that I can attempt the restore I need to do. The monitor is still getting a signal but nothing. The boot to the first menu screen & I can select & I can select Acronis True Image 2015(2016), then it goes to the big splash screen that has Acronis True Image in huge letters with a listing of patent numbers, then after a little while it goes to a dark screen with Acronis loading please wait… in the upper left had corner, then nothing. The Acronis True Image 2015 DVD, 2016 (burned from an ISO provided by Acronis support), & one created from a installed 2015 do not work.
