EFI patition made by TIH
Hi folks,
last night I made a clone from my data disk (one NTFS partition, 1,5TB) to a new 3TB disk by the bootable CD. Today I checked the new disk in my system and found a 100MB EFI partition in front of the data partition. Why added TIH this EFI partition? My old 1,5TB disk has only ohne partition!
greetings from Germany

Hi. Trying the trial version 2016 and running windows 10. In the source backup, it shows Partition: EFI Partition but when I go to disk management of my system drive, properties and volume it shows MBR. Not very familiar between this MBR and EFI stuff. I have a 1TB system drive and looking at disk management, my system drive has a 500MB system reserved and then 931.02 C: partition and now I am totally confused how much space I really have on the C: drive as far as able to install new software.
Did try out a backup and restore on an empty drive and working fine. Some questions: Using my new restored system drive: a) when loading the boot cd how come it comes out with EFI: my optical drive and also shows my regular optical drive; b) after the boot cd loads up it comes up with the ATI menu and I see ATI and another aption ATI 64-bit (I have windows 64-bit, how can I tell if ATI is 32 or 64 bit? I looked in my C: drive and ATI is installed under Program Files (x86)? c) where can I find "generate name" for the backup (used to see this in ATI 2010). Don't know if it is a bug, but while doing the backup, I had the option to restart or shutdown after the backup. Well, selected restart, but did not restart. The PC was on all the time, but then no signal going to my monitor...had to manually restart.

Hello georgiejr,
>a) when loading the boot cd how come it comes out with EFI: my optical drive and also shows my regular optical drive;
First option ("EFI: your optical drive") is for starting CD in EFI mode. The second options is for booting in legacy BIOS mode. Your Windows seems to be running in EFI mode, so it is better for you to choose "EFI: your optical drive" to start Acronis off boot CD.
>b) after the boot cd loads up it comes up with the ATI menu and I see ATI and another aption ATI 64-bit (I have windows 64-bit, how can I tell if ATI is 32 or 64 bit? I looked in my C: drive and ATI is installed under Program Files (x86)?
Always choose 64-bit version of Acronis True Image under bootable media. 32-bit is provided for compatibility with systems that are not capable of running 64-bit version.
>c) where can I find "generate name" for the backup (used to see this in ATI 2010).
This option exists only under bootable media. See picture "generatename.png" attached.

It is a known issue that occurs on some computers. We have not been able to replicate this abnormal behavior in our labs. Manual restart is fine in this case, since disks are not used at that moment, True Image is running from RAM, and there will be no negative effect from manually rebooting the computer.
