Bootable Media Option doesn't work
I downloaded Acronis Home 2011 Trial. I puchased boxed version and entered Serial #, and also registered online. So far so good. I am backing up to a Verbatim Acclaim 1T USB drive. Setup went o.k., however when I try to check the box "make this media bootable", it is still "greyed out" and non-functional. I thought I read that this function was disabled in the trial version but would be functional when registration number was entered. Still doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
J.

James,
I bet you are referring to the "make this media bootable" option when you select the destination of a backup drive. This option is available only for removable media (DVD, CD, USB flash drives). It is not available for regular UBS disks.
What you need is a little bit different. You need to choose "create bootable media", under "more features" in the main program window. THis will allow you to create a USB or DVD disk, aka recovery medium, you can use to boot your machine on. When you do this, a version of ATI on the disk can start and help you restore your backups.
Restoring from the recovery medium is strongly recommended when restoring images that contain the system, although these restores can be done from the windows interface as well.
I hope this makes sense
