Help please, Drive disappeared!

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I'm using True Image 2012 and after recovering my C drive, an OCZ 60gb SSD, the system rebooted as normal and that was it.

The bios beeps but nothing appears on the screen at all. I can't enter the bios or anything. If I unplug the SSD then I can enter the bios.

I cannot use my PC at all. This is the second time this has happened two weeks ago it occurred with a Crucial M4. I thought the drive had failed, but now it would appear it is Acronis.

Please please help me.

Update!!
I put the OCZ drive into my old pc. It booted up fine and I could see the files Acronis had installed on it! Very strange, so I formatted the drive put it in this pc and the bios came alive. Ummm, I got the Win 7 disc out and installed windows on it. All is good. Next I plugged in my HDD, still fine. Then I booted from the Acronis boot disc and recovered an image from Saturday morning. All was going well again until the task completed and the machine rebooted.......nothing! No Bios, nothing. I unplugged the SSD and booted from the HDD to the same image I had tried to recovered from.

So why can I recover the image to the HDD and recovering it to the ssd doesn't work? The original image was created on a 64gb m4 (I haven't tried it yet in my old pc) and this is a 60gb Agillity 3. I'm guessing it has something to do with Acronis and / or the image.

If you don't even see BIOS load, then that wouldn't seem to be a disk restore issue. Even if there is no bootable disk at all, the PC should still go through the BIOS stage and you should be able to access BIOS.

I dunno then, must be something up with the image. If I can get the drive working I will see if an older image works. Still, a strange issue.

You're missing my point. Even if no image is restored and there's no drive at all, you should still be able to see BIOS. BIOS loads prior to Windows boot, as BIOS loads from the BIOS chip and not from the boot drive.
