Cannot restore backup copy to XP
I have used Acronis for several years and it has proved invaluable. The version I currently have on my machine is the True Image Home 2009. My computer is an older XP sp3. I have an outboard HDD that I backup to. I have never had the need to recover my system until yesterday and unfortunatelt it would not work. I step through each step of the process, get to the part where I select the backup archived file, then move to the last step which if I can remember correctly is something along the lines of "indicate where to install" and I get a mostly blank screen and I get the dreaded beep from the computer and I can do nothing. The only choice at that point is to do a hard reboot.
No matter if I start up from DOS or my recovery disk it all ends the same.
I had developed so much confidence in Acronis that I never tested this version. This is quite dissapointing.

The recovery must be done from the Rescue/Recovery CD.
If your current CD does not function correctly, then log into your registration account and download the "bootable media" file from your account. This file is an ISO file which can be burnt as an image to CD to create a different driver Rescue CdD
