Acronis 2013 Build 6514 does not display internal hard drives in Partition Backup Mode
Using Windows 8 Home Premium on an HPE dv6t laptop, with HP BIOS, 64 bit. If I try to perform a partition backup, Acronis does not display the laptop's internal hard drive partitions. But if I try to backup files and folders, the partitions are displayed. This sometimes happens in Windows 7 also, but the partitions eventually show up, if I continually load and reload the program.
Is there a fix for this, or am I missing something?

For Martin Wills:
Thanks so much for your post. I was using a boot disk to try to perform this backup. Also, I tried a previous version of Acronis. As expected, it would not boot, since it apparently has no functionality to deal with EUFI. I'm embarrassed to say that I did not think of changing the BIOS to legacy mode. But I will try that now that you have pointed out what I should have already known to do.
Does anyone have any idea when or if Acronis plans to issue an update to fix the bug in Build 6514?

For Martin Wills:
Using Acronis 2011, Build 6942, I tried turning on the Legacy Support feature in order to boot from the Acronis disk. I also moved the Dvd drive to first in the legacy boot order feature. Sadly, the system did not boot from the boot disk, but instead booted from the hard drive.
I guess that, unless and until Acronis finds time to fix the bug in the latest build of Acronis 2013, I'll have to just use Windows imaging, and stop using Acronis.
Looks as though I wasted the money required to upgrade to 2013 so that I would have Win 8 functionality.
Again, thanks for your post.

Jim,
As suggested by Martin, the downloaded ISO file is different than the one created from within the program.
Did you burn the downloaded ISO file and is this the "fixed" CD you are still having issues with?
An additional option would be to sign up for the 2014 beta test program and see if that beta CD sees your disks.

For Grover H:
Just downloaded the ISO and burned it to disk (I had created the recovery disk from within TI2013). Stuck the CD in the optical drive; it saw all disk partitions as it should have; and now I am happily backing up the Windows 8 machine as I write this post.
Thanks so much for providing an already built (but to me, previously unknown) solution to a very vexing problem. I only wish I had known about it earlier. Maybe I should spend more time checking things out on the Acronis Forums.
Again, thanks for your help.

Just to correct Martin's comment:
The 2013 Rescue Media downloadable from your account is not an older version. It is a newer build that fixes the wireless mouse/keyboard issue and GPT disk recognition issue.
