Issue with Bootable Acronis Disc

Thread needs solution

I tried this with the latest downloadable bootable disc image available from acronis. The issue I think is it has trouble with a UEFI BIOS because this is the first time I saw this and this is the first UEFI BIOS I have tried it on.

The issue is that when making an image of an entire disc it says there are errors on the disc and a sector by sector must be performed. There is no errors on the disc I have checked. The issue might stem from the board manufacturer. It is an ASUS P9X79 WS board and they recently changed their BIOS to be Windows 8 compatible and that might be part of the issue.

Is there anyway acronis can release a fix for this so I can use the bootable disc?

For now what I did I just did it through the windows program of acronis here is the screen shot please tell me if that does or does not perform the same action as the bootable disc image and making a backup of the entire disc that way?

BTW The computer is running windows 7 x64.

In Windows when you create a task to backup the entire disk, you would want to switch to disk mode. (The upper right hand corner of the screen capture). This will provide a backup of the entire disk layout, including all the partitions as well as the MBR/GPT information. The restore process (or backup) from the Linux based bootable disk is probably not going to work properly because support for your X79 chipset/ASMedia controller is not there, esp. if running your drives in RAID mode. The best option is to purchase the plus pack and create a WinPE based bootable recovery CD/DVD or USB bootable media. You may also have to inject drivers into the WinPE media to provide support for the Intel X79 chipset and RAID controller. If you use any of the eSATA ports, you may also have to inject drivers for the ASMedia ASM1061 controller as well. The errors you are receiving when booted to the recovery disk are probably related to the fact the proper support for your chipset/controllers is not present in the Linux build used to create the recovery media. You can not update the driveers on the Linux based media.

Ok then I believe I did the backup the correct way then. If I selected Drive C and the system reserved partition. Now in order to restore it I would need atleast the basic C600 chipset drivers then? I would think that Acronis would update their bootable media to include such drivers as the x79 chipset is not a niche thing.

I agree.
