Am I missing something ?

Thread needs solution

Hi, is it that I am missing something ?

When you make a boot disc in True Image its not really a bnoot disc. The puter does not boot from it. It seems to be a disc that allows you to invoke some kind of recovery from a protected partitiion that you've already set up on the HDD.

But surely the point of the boot disc is that it boots the puter when the HDD has failed ? And if it has failed then how will you invoke a partiation on a failed drive ?

Maybe I am missing something here ? Why doesn't the boot disc just boot ?

Colin,
Perhaps my signature index can help. Check item 2 and item 7A.

Check the boot priority in the Bios - the cd drive has to be ahead of the hard drive. It usually isn't by default. If it is, try the boot disc in another computer.

I have hard that problem for years. Their software makes the ISO but it doesn't boot. I think they wised up. You can now download the boot CD if you log in to your account or you can chat with support and they will send you a link to the latest and greatest.

OK so its fixed. For reference the problem is that I have two DVD drives on the puter. It will only boot from one of them.

Thanks all.
