Acronis 11: How to restore computer using .tib image
I successfully made a backup image .tib file. If my computer crashes, how do I use it to restore my computer. I believe I need some sort of bootable disk but I can't figure out how to do it. Please list simple steps for a novice.
Thanks

Thanks Tuttle. I created a bootable Rescue Media CD as you suggested. I chose the "full" version. The resulting disk booted and showed a single folder: "recovery manager". Inside, I clicked on Bootmenu.exe. There was a momentary flash of a small empty black screen that disappeared immediately. Nothing else happened. What now? I appreciate your help.
I'm afraid Grover's Guides are beyond my understanding. The windows shown are not anything like Acronis True Image 11 Home. The user manual does not tell me what to do with the disk I made.

If you are truly referring to the old version 11 and not verson 2011,
there are several links of interest to you in signature link 1 below.
Inside the index, look for item 3-XX, 3-YY, 3-ZZ
all relate to old verson 11.

That's not how the bootable Rescue Media works. You would not navigate into a folder in Windows and launch that executable. The disk (or USB flash drive) must be burned as a bootable device. Then you would boot your PC from that CD or USB flash drive, whereupon your PC would enter the Linux-based Rescue Media environment, not Windows.

Tuttle, thank you so much for your patience and your clear directions!! I did as you suggested and entered the "Media Environment". I validated my image then backed out and loaded Windows. I am very relieved to be able to restore my computer if I need to. I am about to install Windows 7 as Windows XP will no longer receive care and feeding from Microsoft. It's a daunting task but I feel more secure now if something goes wrong.
Thanks again!
