Is Acronis support Non System Reserved
Hello!
I don't have System Reserved partition. The BCD is in partition C.
Is Acronis support this? Can I boot successfully to my Windows 7 after restoring my full C?
My partition C image is made by Acronis boot CD.
I just want to make sure before I restore that.
I see many post about fail booting Windows Vista/7 after restoring full backup using Acronis boot CD.
And I have experienced that, twice, on my Windows 7 using previous version of Acronis True Image Home.
Okay, I'll try that. I hope didn't see "winload.exe missing"
If you restore, restore first the C:\ system partition as described. The new location is your new disk, mark it primary active, do not change/indicate the drive letter.
If you restore only that partition and do not include the MBR+track0, you will have the opportunity to resize the partition (maybe to take advantage of a bigger disk). In any case, take advantage of this to make sure there is 1MB offset before the partition.
Once this is done, without rebooting, you can restore the MBR+Track0 and the disk signature.
If you select the C:\System partition and the MBR+Track0 at the same time, no big deal. ATI will resize automatically the partition for you, but you won't be able to specify the 1MB offset. If you want to make sure this happens, choose the method above. This is important is you restore to a SSD disk.
No, Its simple, I just want to make sure CAN BOOT TO MY WINDOWS AFTER RESTORING BACKUP.
Yes today I successfully restore and boot to my Windows, thanks. But there is one problem:
My partition E become DELETED after restoring C!
My partition E is 30GB is standard logical partition contain the image of partition C.
After restoring using Acronis boot CD (ATI 2011 14.0.0 Build 6868) and entering Windows my partition E is not showing in Explorer.
Then I boot using Paragon Hardisk Manager bootable CD, my partition E is green said Free partition.
Then I right click choose undelete it took 10 minutes found deleted partition of E, and recover it.
Here's my suggestion to Acronis:
Please test your software in every corner real life random OS situation before release it.
First, I am glad you were able to recover.
For your peace of mind and others, it would help if we could reconstruct what happened.
You have indicated you performed the restore when booted from the CD. One of the nicer features of using the CD ia that you can simulate or practice the actions needed to perform the restore. It is simulation or practice until you reach the final summary screen where you are offered the choice to CANCEL or PROCEED. Clicking PROCEED will cause the actions to begin whereas clicking CANCEL will stop the proceedings and return user to main CD menu. This feature enables the user the option of practice before doing the real thing.
Note on the final summary screen (Proceed or Cancel screen), Acronis advises the user of the actions that are going to occur based on the selections performed by the user. The summary screen would indicate which partitions are being deleted and which are being replaced.
When making your restore selections, do you recall whether you checkmarked
a. the Disk option
b. or, did you checkmark only the Drive C to be restored
c. or, did you checkmark both Drive C and also checkmark Track0/mbr
