Opportunity to Restore during boot of computer
Recently a freind of mine showed me how, when he boots his computer, he's given the opportunity to go directly into Acronis so that he can restore one or more partitions on his hard drive. Someone had done that for him, so he could not tell me how to do it.
Can someone give me step-by-step instrucitons on how to accomplish this fete?
Continuing on with this thought, is there an additional process in which to perform recovery of an archive on 3 CDROMs containing 7 volumes with the supporting information below:
(Our system is a Motion Computing LE 1700 Tablet PC running Vista Business Edition. We have the Acronis True Image Motion Computing Edition 10.0 (build 5,099) initially installed on it.)
In our system we've done a backup on our NTFS C: file system onto 3 CDROMs using an external USB CD Writer. We used the "Create Backup Wizard" for this.
The first CD contains volumes 1 to 3, the second CD contains volumes 4 to 6, the third CD contains volume 7.
On the "Restore Data Wizard", we're told that a reboot is required before the CD can be read. (At this time, the third CD is in the CD drive, since the wizard states the last CD must be restored first)
If we get into the Acronis True Image recovery manager during reboot, the options that we are given are:
1) Acronis True Image Motion Computing Edition (This version includes drivers for USB/PC Card/SCSI hard disks)
2) Restoring the original system installation (with the prompt "Restoring your computer to the original state will remove all files that were created on your computer? Do you want to proceed with restoring?)
3) Continue Windows booting
Is #2 above the option that we want to continue with the restore wizard?
The tablet PC has the stylus disabled at this time and even a USB keyboard attached only gives very limited control over GUIs without Windows running.
