Problems with Acronis Loader 2013 on Inspiron 15, Windows 8

Thread needs solution

I'm trying to clone the drives from two separate Win8 laptops. I used to be able to use the Acronis loader on older computers to clone the drive, but now on these new laptops I can't get AL to be in a usable state -- I took a pic of the AL screen with my phone and attached the image.

Should I just install TI 2013 and the Hotfix, and forget about using Acronis Loader?

I'm afraid your picture doesn't render very well in my browser.

I'm unsure what you mean by Acronis Loader, are you referring to just the recovery CD, Acronis Recovery Manager or Acronis OS selector?

Assuming you are just referring to the recovery Cd, yes, download the patch install and then remake the CD, this will allow workign with Secure Boot and UEFI systems.
