Acronis bootable agent is waiting for removable devices - endless loop

Thread needs solution

I tried to clone my 500 GB HDD to a 256 GB SSD using Acronis True Image 2015 in manual mode.  I resized the partitions and it was running for a while, then it stopped and shut down.  When I powered it up, I got the message Acronis bootable agent is waiting for removable devices.  I tried clicking Yes, no and cancel, bu in all cases ended up rebooting and back at the same message.  I tried unplugging the SSD from the USB and using another one, but no luck.  Now I am stuck and can't get my PC to reboot normally.  I have tried to force power it down, but no luck.  How do I get out of this endless loop and get my PC to boot normally?

I did create a bootable rescue USB before I started, but how do i get it to boot from it?

okay, i figured out how to boot from my USB by holding down F2 and once i booted from the USB the loop ended and I was able to see the clone had worked.  I replaced the HDD with the SSD and it booted okay, although it did need to do some repair when it booted the first time.

Good deal! Thanks for advising if the fix. I hadn't heard of this before.
