Restore not working at all !

Thread needs solution

Using Acronis True Image 2013 on an ACER Aspire laptop with Windows 8.

Created a backup ok, want to restore, however neither of these work:

1) Restore on computer restart does not run the DOS Acronis program.

2) F11 was set up as a hot key, but that doesn't work.

3) When the bootable media installed on a USB stick set as the first bootable item in the BIOS, that doesn't work either!

Help, desperate for e restore! Any clues please !

1. Have you ever booted this PC from a bootable CD (not an Acronis CD)? I want to know if this is in fact an issue with the ATI bootable Rescue Media, or if perhaps your system is not yet set to boot from any CD. I'm betting that you have not.

so,

2. You likely need to do similar temporary settings changes as I alluded to in this post re. Win8: http://forum.acronis.com/forum/42825#comment-134255
