TrueImage2013-build 6514 without any need and INCORRECTLY created new MBR
I boot Windows8 from USB drive namely to have an opportunity to backup/restore/clone HD disks 0 & 1 to another USB drive. Tens of times I've cloned HD disk 0 to second USB disk with Acronis build 5551 but today when I've started clone operation I was proposed to install new versions of Acronis 2013 and Plus Pack. As a result when I've installed new new products, twice rebooted and restart clone operation appeared more then strange: without any need ( HD0 copy to USB2, OS booted from USB disk 1 ) Acronis informed me that it is necessary to reboot and otherwise started operation will terminate. Well, I've AGEED and certainly boot failed - message that one of the necessary disks was not mounted was issued. And certainly worst of all I coludn't boot from HD0. Thus I had to restore System Reserved partition with MBR then reboot again Windows8 from USB, uninstall PlusPack-6514, Acronis-6514, install again Acronis-5551, PlusPack-5551, restart clone operation and this time it performed operation without any reboot request.
My disk configuration:
HD0: System reserved, boot, active, MBR
Windows7
Windows8
Lenovo-Reco
HD1: Win7PE64, boot, active
WorkPartition1, 2, 3
USB HD1: Windows8, boot, active,
WorkPartition1, 2
USB HD2: 1-to-one copy of HD0
SD-CARD: boot, active
That is all 0-partitons on all of my disks are bootable,
Boot sequence in BIOS:
USB
HD0
HD1
If I plug two USB and reboot - I always know from which USB-slot 0-partition is used to boot, no problem ever happened. Duplicate labels - also no a problem.
My experience shows that 6514 was badly tested and contains bugs absent in 5551.

Many thanks for your advise, I've already placed a complaint about the bug from the russion version of Acronis site but will also use those you've mentioned.
