True Image Rescue Disk wont load in AHCI

Thread needs solution

I am sorry and I know this question has been asked a thousand times but I can't get the problem resolved.

I recently converted my Hard Drive Win 7 64 bit hard drive to AHCI. The problem is the rescue disk will no longer load so I can't make a backup. I did this in preparation of installing a new ssd. I simply wanted to transfer my new configured backup over to the new drive.

I tried support but every time I try it says on one page I have no registered products while it clearly lists them on another. I saw somewhere that a different build would resolve this problem but there are no updates listed when I try that either.

So simply can the 11 Rescue disk back up and restore disks set to AHCI and if so can someone point me to the FAQ showing how to do it?

If not can you provide a link where I can upgrade my True Image to a version that will work in this situation.

Thanks.

Hi Alec,
In order to convert a win7 install to AHCI, you have to enable the setting in BIOS and enable the setting in your system registry so the system boots properly. These are the instructions:

Version 11 is not compatible with windows 7. It was only certified for 2000, XP and vista. Will it work, maybe. Worth the chance it won't is up to you. ATIH 2011 is compatible with windows 7. Not sure which you had.

If you system is booting successfully with AHCI enabled, you have two choices, both of which should work for you.

Use a ATIH boot CD in both cases.

Method 1:

Disable AHCI mode in BIOS. Boot system from CD, make back up. Restore this back up to a new disk. Change BIOS setting from IDE back to AHCI mode PRIOR to booting into the OS. Why this is needed. Older versions of ATIH did not support hardware detection on certain chipsets that didn't have native SATA support. By emulating SATA support via IDE, most older versions of ATIH can detect disks connected to non-native SATA controllers.

Method 2:

Buy Acronis 2015, or at least try it for free and test if it works properly with your hardware set to AHCI.
