Acronis True Image 2013 not loading from USB flash drive

Thread needs solution

I am using a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive as a rescue medium, but Acronis True Image 2013 won't load ("Loading, please wait ..."). I have tried it with a CD as well - no luck. What can I do?

Daniel,

If you have Windows 8 and/or a very recent computer, make sure that this BIOS has disabled secure booting and has enabled legacy boot.

If this is out of the way (it should be since you see the Acronis message), then you have a chipset support issue. You will have to upgrade to the Plus Pack and create a WinPE-based disk. Not only WinPE has much better hardware support (because this is Windows driver based), but you can also inject specific drivers to support specific hardware. The only downside of WinPE is that booting is slower (but slower is better that no boot).
