Active Recovery & Acronis Boot Disk do not work.

Thread needs solution

Honestly, I am surprised at the hell I have been going through.. And still havent recovered.

I bought acronis 6 years ago and thankfully never had to recover a backup until a few days ago...

I purposely created a backup image og an SSD drive with Boot, OS & Data partitions. 

First thing I tried was a recovery within windows...

That failed without an error code... Next, I turned on active recovery and rebooted.... Was prompted for the F11... Acronis Menu opened and froze....

Tried second time and clicked on Open windows... A prompt for f11 began to loop....

Tried the boot disk.... Same issue... menu froze....

After doing a repair with bootrec.exe, I was able to recover disk and all was good so I thought...

Disk would not boot again.

Finaly, I created a new windows 7 install on a different disk and ran Acronis..... After 4 hours I recovered my disk.... However, It will not boot..... Upon PC start, an audible ding comes on and a string of unrecognized characters shows up on the black screen....

Nothing...

I start up again in new install and am looking at my disk with Partition Magic..

All seems to be there but cant seem to repair it..

I am at this point thouroughly Pissed off and wondering why these products are not holding up!!

Help...

Hi Will,

can you please provide more details to start with?
Which program version was used to create a backup? Which operating system is saved? Which program version is on the bootable media?
Have you checked if WinPE-based bootable media helps?

Thank you,

Will, having just been through a similar problem with not being able to get either F11 (ASRM) or my rescue media to successfully boot to allow a restore on one of my systems, I found that the problem was caused in the Linux portion of both F11 and rescue media - this was proven by downloading Bootable Media from My Account on the Acronis website and using that instead of the media I had created within the application locally.
