new SSD, can't restore using Recovery Disk, can't read sector 0
I have used Acronis True Image for very many years. I upgraded to v2010 for use with Windows 7.
I have used 2010 to make backups and have successfully restored them to my boot drive using the Recovery Disk.
This weekend I purchased an SSD and tried to restore my boot drive image to it.
Upon starting the software from the cdrom, I got multiple warnings that Acronis could not read sector 0 on the SSD.
I clicked Cancel a few times and it seemed like the restore was working. However, they system would not boot from the SSD. I booted from the original hard disk and I could see the SSD, and it looked like all of the "restored" files were there.
I tried to use an Acronis v10 Recovery disk to do the restore, but it wouldn't read the v2010 image files.
So I used the Acronis v10 Recovery disk to restore an old image file I had from an old XP backup. Worked fine, no errors and the system booted to XP without issue.
Then I used the Acronis v2010 Recovery disk to restore my latest v2010 Windows 7 image. Again, I got the errors about not being able to read sector 0 ... and I clicked Cancel and proceeded with the restore. This time, my system booted without issue from the SSD.
Therefore I can conclude there is a problem in the v2010 Recovery disk as it cannot read or write to sector 0 on my SSD, while the Acronis v10 Recovery Disk had no trouble.
When will this problem be fixed?

I have an OCZ 100gb Limited Edition SSD. The instructions say to install it and format it like any other hd, which I did. Win7 has no trouble seeing or writing to the SSD.
The Acronis rescue disk cannot read or write to sector 0, which I assume is the boot sector. A v10 rescue disk had no trouble at all restoring an old image (not made with v2010) to the SSD.
I don't know what SAVE mode option is. I don't know what the ISO version is.
