2012 boot CD and Wi-Fi

Thread needs solution

I have never used True Image 2012 boot CD with Wi-Fi before. In the past I have been using USB and eSATA external drives. But I am putting to gather a server on the network and tried it today. No Wi-Fi was found at all, no issue with the network cabling. With a worning intel N wirless running at over 200Mb my idea was to get it running and let it close down when finished at night.
Should radio work or am I wasting my time?

It is probably a driver issue. The boot CD uses Linux and that often creates driver issues...
You could purchase the Acronis Plus Pack and create a WinPE based CD. That one uses the Windows drivers and you have a better chance :-)

Wireless is not supported in the Linux recovery environment and wireless is not enabled in the Windows PE environment provided with the PlusPack supplied by Acronis.

However, if you are adept at making your own Windows PE build or use one of the PE variants that you can make with the help of WinBuilder (see http://reboot.pro) and if your Windows PE build supports wireless and includes TI, then you can use wireless in the boot environment. I've done this with a VistaPE build that I made a few years ago and it works fine. But you have to ask yourself if it's worth the trouble. The transfer rates on wireless (even Wireless-N) are much slower than on a wired gigabit Ethernet network.
