Tim,

What version of ATI do you have? What version of Windows? Do you know the partitions you had/have on your system disk?

What kind of backup did you restore, file or disk and partition? Did this backup contain all the partitions on your system disk?
Do you have the Windows installation DVD?

Hello Tim and Pat,

Thank you for your messages and I appreciate your help Pat.

Tim, let me offer you additional assistance please. Do you mind getting back to me with the Acronis Report 51 so that I can take a look at your partition structure and let you know why your system is unbootable.

If you have additional questions please let me know.

Thank you.

Thanks guy...I was able to get the backup tib file to recover properly. When I read the getting started help pdf...It shows the option to restore the MBR file as unselected when restoring...I tried the restore with mbr selected and it worked fine ?

I am assuming then when you restore a tib file...you chose both options...including checking the MBR option...?...hope I have this right ?

Thanks....Tim

It depends. If you restore to a blank disk, you need the MBR+track0. If you restore an image to the same disk and you include the MBR+track0 with all partitions, it will erase all existing partitions.
