Bootable media no longer shows option to use Universal Restore

Thread needs solution

The bootable CD I've used successfully to restore images of different hardware to this system has suddenly stopped showing the Universal Restore options. Everything seems to operate normally, and I can successfully restore a partition, but it will not boot, since no drivers have been provided. 

When working from within the Disk Recovery window, after going through the process of selecting the image to restore, and choosing the recovery destination, the checkbox and text offering the choice of using Universal Restore does not appear. Therefore, the Driver Manager window, where I could point to the folder with the drivers, never appears.

Since the recovery disk shows "Plus Pack" when it starts up, and since it worked a few months ago, what could account for this? Since everything else works perfectly, this can't be a result of "bit rot" having corrupted the disk.

To little information to offer an answer here.  What version of True Image was used to create this bootable CD?  Your mention of "Plus Pack" suggests it is quite old.  What OS and OS version are you working with?  The more details you provide the better the answers.

The last version that I used that had a Plus Pack was ATI 2012, so around 10 years old.  I don't remember seeing any Plus Packs for later versions after that one.

As Enchantech stated, more information is needed here.

The most recent version I have a plus pack for is 2012.
