Bootable Rescue Disk vs. Installation Disk

Thread needs solution

The bootable rescue disk gives you two choices and it does not work. The Installation Disk give you 4 choices and it does not work on my computer, however if I choose safe mode it works and I seem to be able to do a restore but I thought I would post this message before I tried it. It seems the Installation Disk has what the Bootable Rescue Disk has but more choices.

My hard drive was replaced and the Windows software was installed as part of the repair, so there is a workable version of Windows on the machine. I now want to restore the image created with incremental updates from my NAS drive. I had created a TI 2014 rescue disk which when put in the CD/DVD drive opens with Windows Manager. I though it would open a desktop version of the software, but it didn't. So do I download a copy of TI 2014 from the website, initialize it with my User ID and password and proceed to recover from there?

The TI boot CD initially boots into a sub-menu where the user must QUICKLY select TrueImage as to what is to boot, otherwise, the CD will boot into the Windows which is the default. Retry the CD and see if you choose the TI within the 10-15 seconds of open menu.

Otherwise, download the "Bootable Media" file from your account.
Right click on the downloaded file and choose the "open with" Windows Disk image burner option (assuming Win7).
If using XP, you will need to download an image burner such as the freem IMGBURN.

User ID and password not a part of the Recovery CD creation.
