Hybrid PCs (SSD with HD) routinely fail to boot after restore

Thread needs solution

Routinely, after restoring PC/Notebooks Hybrid (both an SSD C: drive and Hard Drives (D:, E:, F:, ...),
this final notice appears in Acronis True Image 2016 and then the PC must be completely rebuilt by
hand at great cost.

"Please notice that the warning at the bottom is:
The selected SSD disk will be restored as is (disk's layout will remain GPT).
After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in BIOS."

None of our restored SSD Drives are booting.   So, the Acronis 2016 Backup / Restore
to these ASUS Desktop and Notebooks has now been a great failure and a total waste of time and money on
the Software and Labor involved. 

Prior to using SSDs, using Acronis with only Hard Drive systems Acronis was very excellent.  Now this routine Acronis 2016 is costing our corporation a great deal of money

Howard, the warning message that you are seeing is normally caused by booting the Acronis Rescue Media in an incompatible mode to how the Windows OS needs to be booted.  In this case, you have an UEFI system, as indicated by the 100MB EFI System partition in your screen shot, therefore the Rescue Media must also be booted in UEFI mode.

See forum post: 119666: Warning "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from destination disk in the BIOS" which has screen shots showing the difference between these difference boot modes.
