2010 not letting me restore
ok, since 2010 ive thought I haave been backing up my pc, made the flash drive for booting and thought i was good to go, my desk top which i was on and acronis home 2010 as well, I was working and my home had a power outage. so i went to bed and in the morning my pc had restated and everything looked fine until I tried to open any program, I was getting file damage messages, now i get a message saying the system will restart with a count down and it restarts. now when it restarts i now cant use my mouse or key board. so i try ging into safe mode, same thing happens, I try a system restore, it fails, I try fix my pc, it fales, I try restore my pc to factory setting, keeping all data and files and folders.... and 99 percent done , it fails...... but now when the system restarts, the pc is very slow, and starts asking me all the questions when you first take your new pc out of the box, but when im done doing all this windows does NOT load and im taken to a gateway ....my pc dest top screen with just its log, no start menu nothing.
so now i pop in my flash drive that i made with acronis 2010 restart the pc hit f12 tell it to boot from the flash drive and acronis opens, Yeah!
now i try to load my backup and i can restore my files and such but i keep getting a erro code that says what im trying to restore is not the last arcive in the life. what am i doing wrong....
now these another part too.
i can see when i open acrions my c drive partitons, and i am no pc teck but the cdrive is almost 1tb, with no problems, and i can see 2 other partitions on the c drive. can i still do somthing here to save my problems? lastly i do have a 3 tb external but acronis sees it but wont let me use it, it says its an invalid format. what can i do. Help
My suggestion would be for you to open an official support ticket with Acronis. As this is a recovery issue, there normally is no charges but even if there were a single incident charge, what you want to recover is more important than the single incident charge.

Hopefully, you have your backups spread over many different disks. Power outages can be brutal--even with the proper surge protection. You may find you have to connect all the old disks to another computer and attempt to read them from the other computer.
Have you tried booting from the TI Recovery CD and checking what information it allows you to access.
