Surface Pro 4 True Image has not found any hard disk drive
I was trying to do a preboot image of a Surface Pro 4 from Acronis 2016 build 5634 on a USB flash drive and Acronis reported True Image has not found any hard disk drive.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I also got this message when trying to do an image on a Quantum Byte Fanless Mini-PC. It has a built in 32gb drive inside.
That is what Both the Surface Pro 4 and the Quantum Byte Mini-PC have in comman is that they both have non-removable storeage media they are booting from.
The Quantum I'm not to worried about. It's sad but not critical. The Surface Pro 4 on the other hand is critical. I need to back the Surface Pro 4 before I boot it for the first time.
The Surface Pro 4 has mass adoption and is not going anywhere. When will there be a fix for the Surface Pro 4?

Far too many hoops to jump through. Please advise when this will be fixed so the standard software can read the system disk?
I've been using this product for many years.. and do not want this to be the end of line.

Have you tried building the WinPE bootable recovery media instead of the default Linux recovery media? The Linux recovery media will work for "many" hardware types, but not all - and is less likely to work with newer devices that have newer driver requirements (the surface pro 4 was built specifically for Windows 10 and does not have driver support even from Microsoft for any OS before it). If you use a Windows 10 computer with Acronis installed on it and download the Windows 10 ADK and let Acronis build the Windows 10 bootable recovery media as WindowsPE, it will work You'll also need to make sure that you've turned off secure boot for the Surface Pro 4 or it will never boot from a third party bootable USB or .ISO image.
It is a bit more work to go this route, but that is the recommended way of using Acronis for devices that the Linux media does not currently support as the WinPE will provide the necessary Windows drivers. Unfortunately, you have the latest Microsoft hardware which only has newer Windows 10 drivers so Windows PE is your best option right now until (if/when) Linux compatible drivers come out for it.
