Acronis 2013 - SSD no longer booting after restore
I could use some help. I typically do a Disk Backup (not partion mode) of SSD drive about every 2 weeks. When I would have a I simply rebooted from my Acronis Repair Disk, restored from a prior backups, shutdown, and then powered up and I was back into Windows. However, yesterday all that failed. I received a Bootmgr was missing after changing a data drive which was befuddling in itself. So I used the Windows Repair disk and but that was unsuccessful. I kept getting the same Bootmgr missing message. I then went the route of restoring from a backup (Disk Recovery) using my Acronis Bootable Media Disk. I tried two prior backups but each one getting the missing bootmgr after. Finally, I retried the Windows Repair Disk and after two repair attempts voila, I was back in Windows. Can anyone offer any insight into why this situation worked differently than prior restores that booted up fine after them? I did a backup this morning and double checked prior that I was using the same backup option for the ones that worked fine for restores in the past. The only thing I noticed was not checked was "Make this media bootable" under "Destination". But, even if I wanted to select it it was grayed out. I did make sure that when I did the restore I selected C for the drive for the MBR and selected the "signature" box as well. I would appreciate any help on this mystery, at least it is to me. Thank you in advance for your help.
