True Image 11 Home & Windows 7

Thread needs solution
0 Users found this helpful

I use Acronis True Image Home edition version 11 under Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit edition) in dual boot environment with Windows XP Professional SP3 (32-bit). I have been able to create backup of data files and also system image on the 2 partitions without a problem from each of the OS (Win XP and Win 7).

I have not used these backups to recover from a disaster (and I don't want a disaster to happen). I can see inside all these backup files with no problem (either from Win XP or from Win 7). I am quite certain that the backup created while in Win XP can be used to restore Windows 7 too. Or vice versa. The software is supposed to work that way from the start, I'm sure.

Hope this helps.

Actually Acronis True Image Home 2010 is full compatible with win7

I have used True Image Home 2010 (build 5055 ) to try to clone a bootable Win7 disk (booting off my True Image 2010 CD) and, while the cloning process completes without incident, the resulting cloned disk will not boot. It hangs at the "Starting Windows" screen (the screen with the four-color logo).

When I try to reboot again, the computer goes to the screen announcing "Windows did not start normally" and asks me if I want to start normally or reboot with my Win7 installation disks and repair. That same screen also reports this message:

0xc000000e the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible

If I then boot off my Win7 install disk and launch the repair utility, Win7 reports that a problem has been detected and will be repaired. I follow the prompts and restart my now "repaired" drive and the same thing happens: the bootup stalls at the logo.

This is the same problem I had with True Image 11 (build 8101). I have no problems using True Image 11 to clone my Vista and XP computers. I am unable to clone my Win7 disk with either True Image 11 or 2010.

I expected my Win7 problem would be solved when I used True Image 2010, but no such luck.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Roman, while I'd hope this is true :), the question in this thread is asking whether ATI 11 Home is compatible with Windows 7.

I, too, am curious as to finding the answer to this, but more specifically in the bootable environment - both full disk backup and restore functions on either 32 or 64 bit machines - as opposed to its functionality as an app in Windows 7.
