Restore; Os Not Bootable
I backed up my operating system in True Image 2016. I checked all boxes for the disk. It created a .tib file. I booted to the recovery cd. I selected the backup.tib and the destination hard drive. It completed, however, it doesn't boot to my OS. Instead I am given a black screen with white writing saying 'installation media missing' bcd/boot.
I tried Automatic Repair. It didn't work. I check the disk and all the NTFS files are there.
I cannot boot into my OS.
Does anyone know how?

The cmd lines didn't fix it. I am going to take a new image. I always take the image from the bootable disk. Whenever I backup I select all the check boxes for the disk with the OS. Then I restore the tib to a new drive.
What am I doing wrong?

I just don't understand why it is so complicated and doesn't work.
I boot to the cd. I select all check marks on the disk. It creates a .tib.
To restore I boot to the disc and restore to the target with the .tib.
But when I go to boot from the new disc it will not boot into the OS.
I had this problem with 2010, so boought 2016 today and have the same issue.

James,
There are 2 modes for the backup..."Partition Mode" and "Disk Mode". You should be using "Disk Mode" not "Partition Mode". In "Disk Mode" there should only be one check mark for the entire disk. In "Partition Mode" there are multiple check marks. Therefore, I belive you are using Partition Mode.
Also, there 2 modes for recovery...Partition Mode and Disk Mode. You should use Disk Mode.
Unfortunately, I am using 2014 and cannot provide screen grabs. I have reviewed the 2016 User Manual and it is not very good.
I am going to look at some of the other threads and see if I can find you some pictures to look at.
Don't give up...we can get this to work.

James,
Here's a link that describes how to migrate to SSD. However, the same procedure will work migrating from HDD to HDD.

Please go to this link and download the documentation pdf file: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/
Once downloaded please go to section 5.1.1.4 Recovering your system to a new disk under bootable media.
Review this section in detail. Note that you should not recover MBR and Track 0.
The MBR and Track 0 will only need to be recovered if your PC contains a Hidden Manufacturer Recovery partition. Do not confuse this with Windows Recovery Partition, they are not the same. If this applies to you, you may also need to recover the Disk Signature. See page 74 of the documentation for details on Disk Signature.

THANK YOU EVERYONE.
I restored without selecting the MBR track 0 and it booted to my OS. Perfect.
~FTrPilot...thanks for taking the time to thoroughly go through that information.
~Enchanted...I did read that documentation when I got the software, but I thought that since it was a new disk that I would need to check MBR/0.

So to recap for ppl who came along with a similar issue...
I create a backup to xxx.tib. I used the bootable media from 2016. When I then selected my file.tib to restore I was give 3 check boxes. (NTFS, System Partition, MTB Track0). I had kept selecting all 3. This would make the drive unbootable. I then used the DriveCleanUp utility to clean the disk I was restoring to. I selected only (System Partition, NTFS) I then followed the prompts. You get different prompts if you don't use MBR. So I selected my new disk on both selection screens and it worked.
~Finished.
