New Intel network-adapter not supportet yet
Hello,
I upgraded my system to a new Sandy Bridge with Intel mainboard DP67BG, which is using the new Intel network adapter 82579V. The rescue media of my TrueImage2010 doesn't support it, so I installed the trial of the actual 2011 version (Build 6696). But my network adapter is still not supported.
Can somebody say, when it will be supported?
Thank you.

Acronis needs to include the Plus Pack WinPE ISO Builder with the base product IMHO. I've had nothing but trouble with the Linux based Recovery ISO's they provide. Missing drivers, failure to boot on many systems, etc.
The WinPE simply works and you can easily add the device drivers you need to support the platforms you have. And it's not difficult to do at all since the Windows AIK 3.0 is freely downloadable from Microsoft.
Just my .02.

Thank you for that WinPE idea. I will google for more informations about this.
Can you recommend a good website with a step-by-step instruction?

This set of instructions uses the X86 (32 bit WinPE) environment which is fine since Acronis is not a 64-bit app. For Acronis there are some changes to this process:
- Assuming you only need to add device drivers to the base WinPE.wim, you can skip steps 5 & 7.
- For step 6, you will first want to download any drivers you need and copy all the needed driver and .inf files into a folder on your PC before performing step 6.
- Do not perform step 10; Instead, you want to run the Acronis WinPE ISO builder that comes on the PlusPack. You will point it to the \winpe_x86\ISO directory that holds the newly customized WinPE with your drivers installed. This will create the final .ISO file with Acronis installed.
- Finally use your favorite ISO burner (Nero, ImgBurn, etc.) to create the boot CD / DVD. I particularly like ImgBurn... Its free and has never failed. Google ImgBurn.
- In RMPrepUSB format (Prepare Drive) your usb stick using the FAT32 format and check the "MS-DOS bootable" and "Boot as HDD" options).
- After formatting the stick, use the "Install grub4dos" button in RMPrepUSB to set up the MBR and copy the grldr file to the stick.
- Copy the .iso file you created to the USB stick.... Assume its called "Acronis.iso"
- You should see only your Acronis.iso and grldr files in the root directory of the stick.
- Use a text editor (like notepad) to create a file called "menu.lst" in the root directory. Add the following lines to the menu.lst file:
find --set-root /Acronis.iso
map /Acronis.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32)
6. Safely eject your stick.
7. Set your BIOS options to allow boot from USB-HDD
8. Insert your new usb stick and reboot.

Yes, thank you James. I made a WinPE disc with my Realtek drivers in no time at all with your instructions. It booted right up and I can access my network now no problem.
One little tip that I discovered: the path to your drivers folder cannot have any spaces in it or you will get an error. I had my drivers in a folder under 'My Documents' and it choked on the space after 'My'. I moved them to C:\winpe_x86\realtek_drivers\ and all was well after that.
I now have 3 boot discs. The Linux version made from TI itself, the WinPE disc, and the BartPE disc. In terms of boot up speed the Linux version is the fastest, the WinPE is next, and the BartPE a distant 3rd. Once inside True Image itself they all function basically the same except that the Linux version taps into your backup data and presents you with a list right off the bat of available backups. With WinPE and BartPE you have to browse for them.
Thanks again!

Glad it worked out. I made a bootable USB stick version of WinPE today, and it boots much faster than even the Linux based CD/DVD. I had to resort to WinPE because the Linux version in TIH 2011 will not load on my hardware. It just goes off into LALA land and then the machine reboots. I trust the WinPE version since TIH is basically a Win32 app to start with, so I prefer the recovery CD version to run the same way.
