True Image Home 2012 Bootable Media download does not work
Hello all,
I just downloaded the bootable ISO image of TrueImage 2012 (and 2011) and burnt the ISO to a CDROM and then tried to boot from it but it doesn't work. The message I get is as follows:
--- start here ---
Attempting to boot from CD-ROm
Starting Acronis Loader...
Boot failed, press any key...
--- end here ---
I've tried this on a couple machines, both the 2012 and 2011 versions do the same thing. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the ISO image?

Thanks for the reply James - The system(s) I've tried are not the UEFI firmware, I even tried on a machine several years old with no success.

I would suggest that you take the ISO(s) (or download new copies) to a different system and create the disk(s) from there.
I use http://www.imgburn.com to burn my ISO files to CD/DVD and can't seem to recall a problem such as yours.
Since this is happening on multiple machines, I can only guess that issue is with the burning software and or CD/DVD disks you are using.
If you wish, you can use YUMI http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator to create a bootable USB Flash drive and have it boot directly to the ISO files.

Good suggestion. I actually read yesterday in an older post with similar problems that I'm experiencing of a person suggesting to use Windows 7 built in burning to create the CD from the ISO image. I tried this yesterday, created a new CD using Windows 7's built in burning software and what do you know, boots up perfectly.
Thanks for the help James

That could have been one of my posts. I often recommend using Windows 7's built-in ISO burning, as it removes the need for a user to have to download and figure out a new utility. Glad to hear it worked for you.
