another acronis loader boot failure entry
unfortunately i am not an advanced user and it
seems as if i need to be from reading the other
posts. i am running windows xp pro. i have an abit awd9 max motherboard. i am using acronis true image 2011 with the latest build number 6597. i have tried the rescue media from the product as well as the one from the acronis web site burned to a cd and of course like most people here it does not work. i also downloaded the bartpe and safe media file, i don't know how to use it. it appears from what i have been reading in some of these posts that i need some windows drivers that i
don't have and need to create a cd with this barpe file. i have two 500gb ide hard drives
installed as well. i have already been able to
save my hard drive on my disc as well as on a
wd 500 gb external drive. the error message
is acronis loader boot failed, press any key to
continue. after pressing a couple of keys the
computer boots into windows normally. can someone help me out with this?

Joseph,
Your problem looks like a driver issue. The bootable media is running a linux version of ATI and Linux drivers are sometimes harder to come by with some hardware.
After you tried with the latest bootable media from your account, your best shot is to contact Acronis support and see if they can provide you with an ISO image or a workaround with WinPE.

MY SOLUTION: Create and use USB Boot Recovery media.
I tried video and data settings in the BIOS, using a WinPE boot solution... so many different things that didn't work. Then on a whim, I created a USB Recovery Stick and it came right up. The 64-bit program had a few issues at first, so I recovered to my 64-bit system using the 32-bit Acronis from the stick, and it worked PERFECTLY.
Hope this helps someone...
