Blue Screen of Death
When I put Acronis True Image Home 2010 on my main computer I get the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). My other computers are OK and I'm not sure what it is but is there any way to fix this because I search the Internet and a lot of people get this from Acronis. It could be my SSD Hard Drive or who knows. Is there a way to Boot my computer with Acronis and make an Image without loading the program on my Hard Drive and to Recover my OS the same way?
Yes,
You can definitely use the Acronis 2010 recovery CD to backup or restore your computer offline from Windows, provided that it can see your disks correctly.
I look at the manual and did a word search on recovery CD and I got nothing so how do you make a recovery CD?. I did however put the Acronis Program on an external drive, the same drive that all my images are on and I took it off and I still got the BSOD so I took the program off my computer and external drive and no more BSOD.
Richard,
If you go to Acronis.com, create an account there and register your ATI 2010 serial number, you will get access to your product download area.
In this area, you will see access to the bootable ISO.
Download this ISO, burn it *as an ISO* (not a regular burn) to a blank CD and you have a recovery CD.
Boot your computer on the CD to make sure it works for your hardware, that it can handle your mouse and keyboard, that it can see your drives and volume (if you have a raid set up, ATI should see a single volume, not separate disks), etc.
Note that on the recovery CD the drive letters might be different from the ones you see in Windows. Not an issue.
Richard,
In the 2010 user guide, see chapter 15, and chapter 4, for instructions on how to use and create the Rescue Media. (It is not referred to as recovery media or CD's, but is called Rescue Media)
