Hi,

After 6 hours trying to get the Acronis bootmedia to actually restore a image, I give up!
It simply does not work!
Running W8.1 on A HP-Probook 450 G0 i7

With the boot-able rescue media, I can boot, I can start ATI-2015. But going to recover, no backup images are listed. Clicking on the browse button stalls the program totally. Did is this practice like 10 times: on DVD, on USB flash dirve, different DVD brand. Nope, nothing, nada

So installed all the bloat-ware to try the other option: WinPE. That adds almost 7GB! to my used C drive space. It better be worthwhile.
Created successfully an WinPe usb drive .. and rebooted.
DISK ERROR
Grrrr!
Lat resort to update the bios, who knows maybe that does the trick...
Nope. Still:
DISK ERROR.

Anyone ideas?

Update:
I burned a Win-PE dvd as a last resort. What the heck!.....it actually runs!
It takes a while to boot, but then running ATI2015, I can now see all the internal/external drives. Yep, also USB-3.
I plugged in the USB-3 drive when the program was already running. ATI needed about 1 minutes to think about this, but then it showed my images. I can read and validate them.
Next step will be the actual restore.

I'll post an other update about this.

Update:

So replaced the HDD in my laptop for a brand new SSD. Booted with the Win-PE DVD and started to recover.
First you need to Add a new drive otherwise you can not recover to the new drive. I choose for MBR type disc.
Then I choose to recover the system reserved and of course the C partition.
Then the recovery started. First it seems nothing is happening but after 1-2 minutes the green bar starts to move.
The recover ended "successfully"

Well NOT !!!!!!!!!
Then I rebooted the labtop:

Windows failed to start.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The boot configuration data for your PC is missing or contains errors.

It's also says to insert my windows installation discs. I don't have them, my installation is a purchased download..

So crewed my laptop open again and put the old HDD back. Luckily the drive boots flawless and I have my system back.
In the computer management tool / disk management i can see that the recovery created only 1 partition. Primary & active, but missing boot / page file. No sign of the special system reserved.

What a crappy software ATI2015 is .. wow.
Next step will be googling how to make this rescued drive boot-able.

Update:
So did two things next:
1 - made an usb w8.1 recovery flash drive
2 -Cconnected the not working recovered drive by usb (assigned e:) and run following command (in elevated CMD box)
bootsect /mbr e:
bcdboot e:\windows

Then rebooted again.
The above didn't do anything: still the same error.
Then I rebooted the w8.1 recovery flash drive and run windows system repair.
It run for 15 minutes and still wasn't ready. Then I tapped some mouse keys and the system rebooted

Wow, the repair was successfully. Windows is running again. Pfft, what an endeavor this al was. In total10 hours from the first moment.

As said above; I don't have any faith is ATI anymore. This ridiculous workaround may work with build 6613, But what about the coming updates?. And 'm not going to test every ATI update whether a real restore does work....
