Recovery CD does not work Win-7 64 Home Premium

Thread needs solution

I have the trial version installed. Created backups without a problem, but after creating two Boot CDs, TI gets stuck at the Menu screen, and times out and boots into Windows. Keyboard and Mouse do not work. Pressing either one, locks up TI and I have to power off the PC.

Using an Intel I5-750 2.7GHZ processor, 8GB RAM Win7-64 Home Premium

CAn boot with Windows Recovery CD, or Active-Boot CD which i use to create backups and restore.

The new TI product is impressive, but if the recovery CD doesn't boot, the product is useless! Really useless, and I dont understand how the product can be released with this issue outstanding for several months!

I tried TI 6 months ago, and gave up, because of other problems.
I have read many post about this problem with no clear solution. The idea of using the Linux ISO to creat the boot CD is very dangerosu, as other posts indicate that this can make your machine non-bootabl, because of errors in reading drive geometry.

I would recommend making a working image that you have tested, by actually restoring and booting, before you mess with your machine.

Hello Sol,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help. 

There are two types of Acronis Bootable Media:
- Acronis Bootable Media that you can generate in your Acronis product. This type of media is based on Acronis Loader;
- Acronis Bootable Media that you can download from your account on the Acronis website. This type of media is based on ISOLINUX.
ISOLINUX Bootable Media is usually more up to date than the Acronis Loader 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.
This file is unavailable for the trial versions of the software (maybe, it will be implemented in the future), that's why I am sending the file to you via Private Messages. 

Please let us know the results, we should be sure that the program runs flawlessly. If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
