The issue is when you boot to/with the Acronis recovery disk (USB or CD) their recovery software does not have the proper drivers to see many disk types connected on USB and/or in the main system
i tried many variants to simply clone from my SATA drive to a SSD drive.
no way it woudl work.
not internally, not externally, not standing on my head and whistling dixelly!
extremely frustrating and they will give you many 'workarounds' and other stuff but the bottom line is the clone/recovery does not work for win 8.1
i finally gave up and went to another vendor for a product and cloned to an SSD immediately without any of the fun and games.
They are sorely in need of an update to fix their boot disk creation process
OR
allow a clone from one USB drive to another USB drive (tried that too but it requires you reboot to the useless rescue disk.
makes me worry about what if i have a serious disk issue, would i be able to recover my backups or are they all going to have some 'issue'?

I think most of the users on Windows 8.1 experience similar problem. Google search full of similar problems and i could not find the cure.
There are 5-7 different software that can be used for hdd cloning.. But i have this product( acronis) for many years and i'm trying to figure why it's cloning feature failing so miserably on Windows 8.1.. Also i'm surprised that nobody from Acronis team picked up this topic...

When will acronis update true image to support cloning to the intel 750 PCIe ssd as the lastest version boot cd does not see the 750 pcie.

Create a WinPE based disk instead of the standard Linux one.

THANKS PAT L, CREATING WINPE ISO FILE FIXED MY PROBLEM. EVERYBODY WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM SHOULD CREATE WINPE ISO IMAGE,
THEN USE A CD/DVD/USB TO LOAD IT.
