Can't boot any of 4 disks..!!!
I sure hope somebody can help.
Acronis 2020 (wish I had never heard of it)
Windows 7 Ultimate 1TB hd
I cannot create a bootable hard drive after restoring a tibx backup. The following problems have occurred with different hard drives and backups.
If I go into the bios I see the small window that says “select boot device” If I select “windows boot manager” Selecting this send me directly into the EFI shell.
However none of the EFI or UEFI commands work. For instance “Boot” returns “boot is not recognized as an internal or external command” Same result with the other shell commands I got from EFI shell command references
Available boot options shown:
UEFI: built in EFI shell (Shown twice.)
Windows boot manager
Sata: WDC WD 30EFRX…….. My secondary data HD
Sata: WDC WD 1003FZEX…….. My Primary supposedly bootable HD
Sata:ASUS DRW-24B1st … My dvd drive
And
"Enter setup: "
Which kicks me into the bios settings screen. There the boot options gives me one slightly different option… “[UEFI: windows boot manager]…. And does NOT show me the Sata: WDC WD 1003FZEX…….. My Primary supposedly bootable HD
Selecting … “[UEFI: windows boot manager] simply sends into the EFI Shell again.
Selecting the primary; hard drive directly – when I see it – gives me “MBR error 1” Press any key….
NONE of this ever happened with TI 2018.
The swear jar is overflowing.
I had 2 perfectly bootable hard drives sitting on the shelf. Now when I go to boot from them, neither one will boot. Absolutely nothing was done to them between the time I tested them (and ran a couple of days on one) and when I put them in one after another and nether would boot. They just kept giving me various error as described above.
Does TI2020 mess with the bios?
Chat support was totally worthless. Kept telling me the most basic things. "Go into bios and set the boot order."
I sure hope somebody can help.
I am so flumoxed.
Thanks,
Anthony
