Acronis True Image 2014 with Windows8
I currently have a trial version of TI 2014 which I have on an Windows 8 machine. Although I have used many earlier versions of TI without having a problem I cannot say I have had success with TI 14 and Windows 8.
I have heard it has something to do with the speed Win 8 loads and a fix should be coming soon. Of course these things always seem to stretch way too long a period a time. If it's sold as Win 8 compatible it should work on Win 8 without problem.
I have an older Win 7 machine with TI 13 loaded that works flawlessly. Backups on this older machine are no longer critical. If the license permits I am thinking of unloading it off the old machine and reloading on my Win 8 machine (providing license permits of course). Would the TI 13 perform better than T 14? I need something that works now not sometime down the road.
What's up with Disk Director 11 as there is apparently no Win 8 support. When can I expect a Disk Director compatible with Win 8.
Thanks!

I'm assuming that your Win8 machine is UEFI and that it boots so fast, you haven't been able to enter the bios to set your boot order:
If you are trying to boot from the rescue CD and you are unable to, try tapping F8 key repeatedly as soon as you turn the computer on. This should present a menu from which you can choose which drive to boot to.
You can also tap the Del key instead of F8 to enter the bios, where you can set your boot order.
