Unable to create bootable rescue disc

Thread needs solution

I am sure glad that I attempted to boot from the rescue disc I created! It did not work. So, I tried again and again, using fresh top brand CD-R disks (Sony, TDK, Maxell, Taio Yuden), and none worked. No problem burning, but when I look at the discs contents, a folder is there called "Recovery Mansger".

How the heck do you boot from a folder?

I am using the option in the Tools & Utilities menu to try and create this disk; am I missing something?

The OS on the Rescue CD is Linux. In Windows you will not see anything other than that folder. When you say it did not work, how far did it get into the boot process?

Try another computer to see if any of the discs you made will boot.

Jeffrey,
Be sure and adjust your BIOS so that the CD/DVD drive is the first drive in the bootup chain. This can be left this way permanently, if desired.

Hello Jeffrey,

I understand the question and will do everything possible from my side to solve the issue.

I would recommend you to download ISO image based on ISOLinux from your account under registered products and create Acronis bootable disc using third-party software. ISOLINUX Bootable Media is usually more up to date than the Acronis Loader one. This is due to the fact a new version of Acronis Bootable Media is uploaded to the website more frequently than regular product updates are released.

ISOLINUX Bootable Media has several boot parameters that may help overcome possible issues with booting. You can also set a specific VGA resolution in the ISOLINUX media if there an issue with the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Check the following article for more details.

I have also sent you ISO image via PM in case you experience any difficulties downloading it from your account.

Concerning Acronis bootable disc based on Linux and inability to see its content in Windows DwnNDrty is right. Also please note Acronis Bootable Rescue Media (full version) can display drive letters different from those you see in Windows, because Linux has its own rules of drive naming. Such a situation usually may arise after using partitioning software. This is absolutely normal and there is no need to worry about the difference in drive letters assignment.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

I have been using Acronis for about 10 years, this is the first time I have been unable to create a bootable media with all the different versions I have had. Very disappointing, if I decide to continue using Acronis I will just go to a retail store and buy one
