Rescue Media won't boot
Good day folks,
I am using Acronis True Image for WD, downloaded from the WD website this month. The software is functioning.
I have a Toshiba Satellite c870 with the latest BIOS installed.
I am having an issue I can't get my head around and I am hoping for some solutions after a couple of frustrating days.
I am attempting to clone the HDD to a WD SSD. As Instructed I have created the Bootable media disc (tried 2 ways, burn to DVD and USB stick)
When I put the new drive in the laptop, and select to boot in BIOS from either of the above, nothing happens. The drive (when using the DVD) whirs and spins for about a minute then stops: and it sits on a "Toshiba" opening graphic with the spinning dots, I have left it as such for 15 minutes or more with no activity.
If I remove the new drive and leave the bay empty, and boot from the DVD or USB the rescue media loads promptly as it should with full functionality... except of course there is no drive in the laptop to clone from the USB connected old HDD.
I am at a loss as to why it won't boot from the rescue source when the drive is in, as I have set the BIOS to boot from the media source first.
Any help would be appreciated, and I apologize if this has been covered before; The search function here doesn't seem to work.
Darren
