Have you tried the quiet acpi=off noapic option detailed in Section II of the Read Before You Post thread?

If you download the TI 2009 ISO file and create a new CD from it, does it boot correctly?

I have been trying to get acronis to provide a boot disk that works with the amd sb700 in raid mode. so far they have failed with 3 versions of TI over a conciderable time and many emails that have included isos for boot cds. The boot roms see no AMD raid, some see individual drives some do not.  They all see my SIL raid and no problem.  The linux comunity had initial problems with the sb700 raid and only one linux variety worked, that problen seems, for the most part to have gone away. As TI is linux based it is about time they brought their linux up to date or changed to a more open brand.   I have 2 Gigabyte mobos using sb700 (diferent vesions)  both will not load from a n acronis boot rom while in raid mode, or will not see the drives as a raid.

Any suggestions.

Hello Stephen,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

Please download ISO image of Acronis True Image Home 2009 from your account and create bootable disc. If the ISOLINUX CD works flawless for you, you can update Acronis Startup Recovery Manager in the following way:

Exclude kernel.dat and ramdisk.dat and replace the old ones. The files are located at:

* \Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\kernel.dat

* \Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\ramdisk.dat

After that reactivate Acronis Startup Recovery Manager and see if the issue remains.

When I try to load program I get a not enough space on C drive, but I have 530 mb free. I'm trying to put the program on my D drive.
