Default TI 2009 home - cannot create rescue CD for safe mode

With the latest version of True Image 2009 home the "safe mode" option is missing when creating the rescue media.

Any idea? Thanks.

It's no longer included in the program you buy/download. You have to register with Acronis, then log into your account in order to get the Safe Mode module.

Thanks - what do you mean by go to the account (have not yet registered) and get the option? Would it be a kind of "update" to download to get it or how this works?

By the way, the same problem with Acronis/Seagate DiscWizard which is free.

Neven:

I just bought a boxed TI 2009 with a CD disc included for installing.

Starting the install disc a second time reveals a choice to install some extra Acronis files. One is the "Safe" mode for building a boot CD.

After installing the Safe Boot file you can go to "create a boot CD" and you will see both the Full & the Safe modes to choose, build a CD and you can then boot from either.

The bad news is that when I did a test restore from the Safe mode, my screen went black when I clicked "proceed" with the restore. The restore didn't happen.

Fungus: I have been using TI7.0 for years and everything was fine, no reason to upgrade. As my new desktop and the notebook have SATA disks and 7.0 didnt work with them, I downloaded the 2009 test version.

Why I am asking about safe mode: on the sata deskop the rescue CD (full mode) boots but the Acronis menu freezes - no mouse, no KB reaction. On the sata notebook it works, .tlbs are found but I got suspicious by the desktop case and didnt start any test recovery.

Now you made me even more unsure, although your bad experience is with safe mode. I dont want to risk and eventually get backup running with later unbootable computer. Anyway I am hanging now and am about to test Paragon Drive Backup. Pity, 7.0 with IDE was reliable.

One more: on both desktop and notebook the F11 to enter parameter doesnt work either. All of above same with Seagate/Acronis DiscWizard.

Thank you anyway,
Neven
