UEFI Clone not possible on new Thinkpad T530
A few months back i got a new Thinkpad T530 which came preloaded with Win 7 64-bit. I changed the BIOS to UEFI and reloaded the Thinkpad.
Now I got a new SSD and wanted to clone my disk.
I created the Rescue Media on a USB stick and booted the system. I get the Acronis UEFI Loader, selected 1) for TI but then get a runtime exception "Failed to detect graphic output mode" with code 21495812.
On the Internet I found some references that my graphics card setting need to be changed.
On the Thinkpad I have the default boot display of Thinkpad LCD. Trying with this setting failed with above error.
Next I changed it to Analog VGA but again it failed with the above error.
I also tried it with the Bootmedia iso I downloaded from Acronis, created a Recovery CD but again, same error.
Anybody has/had the same or similar problem? Or any suggestions what else I can try?
I had contacted support but their suggestion was to download the boot media and try with the CD.

Thank you very much. I sure will give this a try.
I have to wonder, why the tech. support guy did not know about this. But using Acronis for years and have used their tech. support I actually don't wonder.

AFAIK TI 2012 Linux-based boot cd can boot in UEFI mode. The workaround with legacy mode is required only if Secure Boot prevents booting.

I gave it a try and found, that the Thinkpad does not boot the Linux CD in UEFI mode. After switching to legacy mode it booted the CD/USB correctly.
