Can not recover back-up

Thread needs solution

My hard drive crashed. Installed ne hard drive. Installed Windows 7 and Acronis True Image 2015, build 6055. When I try to recover; I select the backup file I want and start it. The computer shuts down then Acronis starts. After a time a pop-up comes up stating a file is corrupted. There is an option to click something but the screen is frozen and nothing more can be done. URGENT HELP NEEDED

Boot from the user created TrueImage Recovery CD and perform the recovery from the CD.

I used the user created TrueImage Recovery CD and was getting a pop-up that states: Cannot find version 5, Browse or click to ignore. It had a browse button, a cancel button and a retry button; none of which seemed to do anything.

"version 5" is the fifth backup created, included the full. So if you have full, inc1, inc2, inc3, inc4, version 5 is inc4.

If you select what you think is "version 5" and ATI is not happy, then your backup chain is compromised. Typically root causes include:
- the user has renamed, moved, changed or deleted manually a file in the backup chain,
- the user has edited the task,
- the disk information has changed: share name, drive letter, whatever, and ATI thinks some backups are one "disk" and some are on another,
- simple file corruption of the disk (very rare).

Carl,
You will need to use the browse button and tell the program which of the Tib files to use.

I will try again but I tried ALL OF THE BUTTONs and all I saw was a quick blink the it was back.

I have seen some that seem to take forever.

After you boot into the CD, after you click the browse button, leave the screen along and wait a a minute or two and then click the next step and wait,etc.

After all of your help, I still cannot recover a back-up. I am beginning to think that Acronis gives a false sense of security. All the time the back-ups tell you it's Ok but when you try to recover it won't work.
I even installed Windows 7 and reformatted the hard drive and then try to use the CD to recover. Each time it ends up with "YOUR COMPUTER FAILED TO START - Then Automatic repair by Windows which it cannot do. When I go back and reinstall Windows again, I find my hard drive has been re partitioned with corrupted data requiring a reformat again.
I have been able to recover 80% of my files using Windows Explorer and digging into the Back-up files and pulling them out piece by piece. I think I have found that Acrnis does not work.
