Boot disk can find my drives

Thread needs solution

I've been backing up my home system with Acronis True Image 8 for years. Well, the sad day has come when I need to do a full disk restore. I try from windows and am told I can't because files are busy - makes sense. So I boot from the boot disk, and it can't find my drive. I've read in the forums that there's an ISO image of a bood CD that includes the necessary drivers, but it doesn't seem to be available to me. Because my product is > 2 versions old, I can't get any support.

I sincerely hope someone can help me out here. I really expect backup software to restore when I need it.
Thank you,
ed

Five new versions have been released since V8 in 2005. My version 8 worked great for me but newer larger hard drives came out and I chose to upgrade.

I can offer no guarantee that it will work but you might try downloading the trial version of the current Version 2010 home and perhaps it can assist you in restoring your version 8 backup archives.
