Acronis on a Netbook - Problem booting / restoring images
hi ...
i have a netbook (acer aspire 1) with xp-home.
i do not have floppy-disc or cd/dvd!
acronis cannot restore the images
(error when rebooting:
Acronis Loader wird gestartet... / Acronis could not start
Linux Kernel kann nicht geladen werden. / Linux Kernel cannot be loaded Zum Neustart drücken ...)
maybe the problem is the 8GB-PQSERVICE Partition (Compaq Setup)
Anyone familiar with this problem??????
Is it possible to install a boot partition with acronis true image
that i can boot from for my restoring of images??
thanks for any suggestion!

You can have a flash drive equivalent of the Rescue CD but I'm not sure if ver 9 had that feature. You could try getting the latest build of ver 9 to see if it has.

I have a somewhat similar situation. Netbook with no floppy or CD/DVD. Recovery drive created on flash drive by ATI 5055 will boot, can select ATI full, but ATI does not load and everything stops!
Thought about possible driver updates in the .ISO file on web site, but can find no way to create flash drive media from .ISO image, using either the netbook or my desktop. I can of course use desktop to create CD rescue media from .ISO, but no CD/DVD drive on netbook.
Is it possible to either transfer bootable rescue code from CD to flash drive, or perhaps onto USB HD drive?? It would be handy to be able to boot rescue code from small partition on USB HD, and store tib images on remainder of USB HD. Since netbook can boot from USB flash drive, it would seem it should be able to boot from USB HD!
Is this a known capability?

hi ...
okay what i was looking for is the "acronis secure zone"!
unfortunately i could not install the secure zone!
reason: i tried to do it from an external usb and after reboot i see just a blinking cursor, and nothing moves ... F11 does not help!
so now i will try creating a new partition on the netbook itself where i will try to install again ...
.. will report here ...
...this is not solved !!! please keep suggesting!!!

You might want to rethink using the SZ. It was a good feature when having a second hard drive was too expensive for most of us.
finally:
i downloaded the new test-version "home 2010" and installed the secure zone again.
actually i cannot F11-access the secure zone????
but i can restore my c-system image with a reboot.
@Dwn: you are right, but i cannot boot from external usb, cd
or floppy with my netbook, so this is the best i could do (so far)
@robert: there are tools to boot from external media .iso images, but i forgot the bookmark
thanks for the help, over and out
Steven,
I'm a little late in getting in here, but much of the problem may be the TI V9 you are using. The newest Netbook / laptop computers us a true SATA controller, not the PATA/SATA controllers many desktops use. TI V9 does not have true SATA drivers. I have a Toshiba Netbook and a Toshiba Tecra M9 laptop. TI V9 will not see the HD from either computer. I also have V11, 2009 and 2010. V11.8101 works fine.
Secure Zone must be installed in a partition of it's own. If you HD has one partition (C: drive) it will not work. TI can not restore to the same partition the image is in. At work we have a partition (T: drive) that is not used for anything. SZ is installed there. That then can be used to restore any other partition, but not T:
