Problems
Hello-I recently purchased Acronis True Image Home 2010; mostly for the Rescue Disc to clone hard drives. However; for some reason, the Rescue Disc does not see my SATA boot drive, so I can't clone it. I have tried different SATA mobo ports; but the boot drive is never recognized. Not much of a cloning program when the hard drive I want to clone is not seen.
I tried the evaluation program; but of course it is crippled so this problem does not become apparent until you buy the software; then you realize it does not work. Also; I tried to register the new software a few times with no success.
Having used Acronis for years; this has been a major disappointment all the way around. Having scanned the internet and these forums; it's pretty clear this True Image software has plenty of problems; especially with Windows 7, i7 Gigabyte motherboards like mine.
Really got screwed this time; goes to show you can't trust anybody anymore.

DwnNDrty is right, every Bart PE T.I. cd disk I've ever made has worked very well, try it.

Thanks for the info; since my serial number doesn't appear to be working, I'm kind of stuck.
For sure that plug in works? I may have to buy another copy of the software since the one I got from newegg doesn't seem to be working. I don't want to spend more money if it's not going to work.

Hello all,
DwnNDirty and Fungus, thank you for your recommendations, BartPE should fix the issue with the hardware detection. However, there's another way to get rid of this it.
Ron, I have sent you a Private Message with a download link to the bootable ISO image for Acronis Rescue Media. That new media is based on an alternate bootloader - ISOLINUX. ISOLINUX Bootable Media is usually more up to date than the Acronis Loader one (the standard one). This is due to the fact a new version of Acronis Bootable Media is uploaded to the website more frequently than regular product updates are released. ISOLINUX Bootable Media has several boot parameters that may help overcome possible issues with booting and hardware detection.
Ron, could you please also reply to my Private Message and send me your serial number for Acronis True Image 2010 Home? I need it to check and fix the issue with the registration.
We are looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.
Thank you.
