Restored TI 11 image will not boot

Thread needs solution

My Acronis TI 11 backup of a new Win7 OS to an external drive has restored OK in that Windows shows the files/folders in My Computer.
But Win7 is not listed by Dos during bootup so cannot be selected. I suspected an MBR issue and so I returned to the restore screen and ran restore with the MBR tickbox ticked to restore the MBR. Alas no change.
Now I have a seemingly good restored .tib image which I cannot use ….any ideas ?

Bill:

Windows cannot boot from an external USB disk. Is this what you're trying to do?

If you just want to demonstrate that your backup will boot correctly you would need to remove the disk drive from your external USB disk and temporarily install it in place of your main disk.
