RESOLVED: Recovery using Acronis boot disk cannot see external HD

Thread needs solution

Original post deleted.

If you wish to recover a system drive backup stored on an USB attached external HD, your external HD may not seen when running True Image from the booted Acronis install DVD (at least this is my situation).

A "rescue media" disc must be created in Windows using True Image, and this disc when booted will see an USB attached external HD.  To create such a disc, look under the tools tab in True Image for directions to do so.  I'm just glad I wasn't looking at a dead system disc when diving into this mess.  I guess it's all's well that ends well.
