Dell XPS 8500 - recovery CD boots to black screen

Thread needs solution

I have the same problem as listed in http://forum.acronis.com/forum/31557 and http://forum.acronis.com/forum/31970, namely when I use the recovery disk the screen just turns blank, and stays like that.

The bizarre thing is that this problem with the screen does NOT occur when I use an old TI11 disk. Unfortunately, TI11 seemingly doesn't recognize the SATA drive. Seems crazy to me that an old version of TI has the video drivers for a brand new machine, whereas TI2012 doesn't.

I tried vga=ask, nopic, acpi=off, etc.

Can anyone please help?

Hi Alex,
You may have already tried this, but you couldn't get any of the modes to get a display output on your monitor?

Hmm,

Seems another user has a similar issue, same hardware:
