Can't boot from Rescue CD
I've just installed ATIH 2012 and the Plus Pack and created a rescue CD, but I can't boot my PC from it. When I try I get the following menu:
Starting Acronis UEFI Loader
1 Acronis True Image Home
2 Acronis System Report
C Continue booting
When I select 1, after a short time the following message appears:
Run time exception - An EFI runtime error......
This quickly disappears to leave a blank screen and a flashing cursor. I have recently upgraded my motherboard to a Gigabyte Z77-D3H and rebuilt my PC (which is where the rescue CD was created). Prior to this I had an older motherboard which worked fine with a rescue CD created with ATIH 2011.
Can anyone suggest anything I can try to boot from the rescue CD?
TIA.

Thanks for that. I need to get to grips with the whole EFI/MBR/GPT business (I've had some strange Windows errors too when trying to repair/reinstall my OS)! My BIOS is only F12 so I'll update that too.

I just had a similar problem with my new Z77 MSI motherboard. The Acronis boot disk is based on Linux and it just did not like my hardware. The anser was to build a Windows PE based boot disk. See Acronis Knowledge Base item 23882.

Thank for all comments. BIOS upgrading made no difference, but I've built a WinPE boot disk and everything is working now. All hard drives are recognosied (I was concerned that they wouldn't be as I need to load an Intel RAID drive when I install Windows otherwise the install fails) and I have successfully restored from the backup I was trying to recover.
