BR v11 Workstation: Backups do not show on Recovery menu when Booting from CD

Thread needs solution

I am an experienced user of B&R Workstation v10.
Purchased new B&R v11 (not upgrade) v 11.0.17318 but when I make Full Disk backups and then try and restore with the bootable CD none of my backup Archives or files show up on the backup drive. They are physically on the drive and uncorrupted but they just don't display in the recovery Selection window.
All th eifles are good because I can use B&R v10 to restore the v11 backup files and they work fine.
___________
I installed Acronis B&R v11 on an i5 Win7 32bit CPU.
Created bootable CD and then booted from the same v11 CD.
Then created a full Disk backup from Boot HD to HD2.
used the Backup menu > Local Disk > Browse menu to backup to Archive on HD2.
Created an Archive for each backup attempt with unique name.
Backup Completes successfully without any errors.
Both drives regular Win7 NTFS HD.

If I try an immediate Recover OR even boot again from same Boot CD none of my previous backup Archives or files show up. I just have a big blank window with the Recover Menu.

If I use the Backup or Export menu's all my previous backup files are displayed????/
If I boot back into Windows I can see all the backup files for both v10 & v11 on HD2.

If I boot with my v10 B&R Workstation I can see all the backup files created with either v10 or v11.

Booting from a v11 - build 17318 and Select Recover > Select Data > Browse > local folders > HD2.

Doesn't seem to be a CPU hardare issue as I have tried backing up and recovering from several diffenent CPU's and every CPU works exactly the same way. WinXp or Win7.

I must be doing something wrong somewhere but I have tried every option on every menu in the B&R v11 boot menus and I can never get any of my backup files to show up on the Recover Menu?????? This is driving me crazy!!!
I can get every menu I don't need to work and cannot get the actual one I want to use to work.

I am also really going to miss the v10 ability to select File View by Archive or File in B&R v11.

I have read through the manuals and checked many forum posts but don't see anything exactly like this issue.

Really hoping soemone can point me in the right direction.

First, make sure you use windows-representation media (not WinPE-based, just select 'windows-like representation' in the tools(?) menu)
Right panel there is not supposed to show anything. Browse to where you think archives are supposed to be and press ok. If you guessed right, they will be shown in 'data view' (i.e. catalog) or 'archive view' (old style). If not, click 'refresh' then browse again and repeat.

I see my error.
When I was selecting data and selected my HD2 I was expecting to see what was on HD2 show up in the right window like it does in Acronis 10.
But now in 11 we have to ClicOKOk to get another screen which displays Archive or File data.

So basically I was doing something wrong.
Both recovery screens, Acronis 11 loaded into Windows and the bootable media are showing my backup archives correctly.

I thought it was something simple and it was.
Thank you!
My issue is resolved.
