Failure to restore backup
There's a deadline coming up and I start getting the blue screen of death when windows starts. Okay get out the backup disc. Disc boots fine and sees the backup file on the usb drive but when I try to restore the partition it just seems to hang. The head drive activity light is on permanently but there is no activity in the progress bars. I can't cancel or anything. It has worked before. Help appreciated.

I have a similar problem (using True Image 10). When restoring a backup, the process always stops at "21 Minutes". A check of the image also stops at a defined point.
If it is not able to restore the image, I have approximately 2 days work to set up the computer again.

Hello all,
Let me assist you with this issue.
Seekforever is right - BSOD itself may be caused by bunch of factors - starting from hardware or connection problems up to software compatibility issues. So in each case it should be investigate individually.
James, could you clarify, when and how exactly does the CD hang? Do you receive any error messages during the process?
Is the BSOD still reproducible? Can you make a digital photo of blue screen and attach to your answer in your thread, so we can analyze the code?
Willi, I assume that your version is Acronis True Image 10 Home.
I'd recommend you to download the version which is based on another loader (the version has some extended list of drivers and startup parameters). I have sent you the PM with the link to download. Please post the results in this thread.
You can find more information on how to burn an ISO image to a CD here.
I'd like to make sure all your queries regarding Acronis products are resolved.
Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.
Thank you.
