Restore Partitions for W8
I finally screwed up W8 bad enough that I had to do a restore using Acronis TI 2013. It all worked and W8 is back to normal - I think. However, I was curious about what I should have done since W8 has three partitions on my boot SSD. The three are 300MB Recover Partition, 100MB EFI Partitions, the 111.27GB W8 Partition. When I did the restore I selected just the 111.27GB W8 Partition and the MBR record. Should I have tried to restore the "new to W8" partitions as well? They appear to be there in the Disk Management Display but show as 100% free. Comments appreciated.

I bought new laptop (Hp ENVY d7-7210ex NOTEBOOK PC ) with operating system windows 8 . It has two hard drives 750 GB each. The system drive has four partitions The four ara 300 MB WINlR ,100MB UEFI partitions, 27GB recovery Partitions and 670 GB OS WIN 8 partitions . I backup my system using Acronis TI 2013 and the program select 300MB partition, 100MB partitions and 670GB partitions. THE backup process was successful. I try to make restore my computer but the operation was unsuccessful. When i try to restore my backup directly from window 8 a message come up ask me to reboot the computer to start the backup, the computer start normally and no backup done . I try to use the bootable media disk made by True image 2013 or which downloaded from Acronis TI 2013 site ,and change my computer`s BIOS settings to boot it from CD/DVD and then recover the backup using the bootable media. to boot the computer and get (Acronis Loader ) but also the system boot (only from UEFI ) normally to windows 8 . If I can get any good Comments appreciated

Mohammed,
You need to do two things at the moment.
1. Disable the Secure Boot in the BIOS.
2. Change the UEFI mode to Legacy in the BIOS.
The CD should now boot the laptop, once you ahve recovered the image you will need to change the BIOS back to how it is now before booting the OS.
There is one person here who is having difficulty with one model of HP laptops, so if after changing the BIOS it still refuses to boot, come back here and lets us know what happens when you try to boot.
