Active Recovery & Acronis Boot Disk do not work.
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...

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.
