Fatal Error

Thread needs solution

I want to restore a Full partition backup which is stored on a USB hard drive. I connected the HD's USB cable, inserted USB Rescue Flash drive, and pressed the Start button. The PC began to boot and I pressed the F12 key to go to the Start Menu. On the Start Menu I selected USB drive, and on the display screen "Starting Acronis Laoder" appeared. Then came the shocker. Instead of restoring my system it said, "Acronis Loader fatal error: Boot partition not found." What's a boot partition? Why didn't it restore my system?

Hello KCav,

Thank you for posting and welcome to the forum!

As I correctly understood, you created the Acronis Bootable Media with a backup file, which is located on an external USB drive.

Just in case I advise you to follow this article to make sure that the bootable media has been created correctly.

In order for us to localize the issue I would recommend you to download the trial version of Bootable Media for True Image 2013 by Acronis.

Please register your trial serial number in your account in order to have access to the bootable media .iso file.

Also for in-depth analysis of the problem, please send me the system report, collected using the bootable media.

If you have any additional questions, please let me know!

Thank you!

Hello Elena - problems creating a bootable rescue drive continue.

According to instructions in KB 14740: Acronis True Image Home 2011: Creating Acronis Bootable Media with a Backup File, I formatted a PNY 16GB flash drive to FAT32 and inserted it into a USB port on the notebook. Then I went to the Main screen in Acronis TIH 2011 and selected Disk and partition backup; selected to backup partition Sys (C), as a backup location - removable Flash drive with the option Make this media bootble checked. Then I clicked Backup now.

The procedure started. It found the flash drive, it backup partition Sys (C) and validated the backup was made correctely. Next I shut down the notebook, and after about a minuted I pressed the Start button. The system statred normally, but the boot process stalled. When the system boots there is an indicator that shows boot progress. Its a box on the screen with a blue indicator. The indicator stoped making progress about 2/3 across.

Why didn't it load the Accronis boot loader? The BIOS is set to boot from the flash drive. I tried pressing the F12 key to manually go to the Boot Menu. That didn't work either. Attached is the system report.
