Boot disk problem

Need a quick answer on this if there is one. I prepared an IBM Netvista PIII running w2k as an image. I have booted the PC with the TI boot disk, it seems to load ok but when I select the top option and the options have loaded any movement of the mouse crashes the program and the PC reboots. How do I stop this happening? I have tried the safe option and that seems more stable but I can't access the network share to retrieve the image.

TIA
Mark

 

Same Problem here on a DELL GX110.. Previous builds of the boot CD ( 768 ) works fine with the exception of the scrambled display on bootup which has a work around. A Solution would be helpful. Meanwhile, Ill just keep using the previous build.

Just wanted to point out another related problem with the boot CD.
I tried navigating thru the menus to do a restore and as soon as TI8 tried to access the network share I store image files to.. the PC rebooted.
Apparently there is a problem with the Linux Mouse and Network drivers for this Dell machine.

Thanks!

 

Hello? Can anyone shed light on this problem for us?
Lets not let this thread get stale as it does pose a significant problem for Dell Owners and IBM owners apparently.

Thanks

 

Did you try the quiet acpi=off noapic option?

 

Had the same problem myself. Reported it a few weeks ago, but still no resolution. Fortunately, it's easy to navigate with the keyboard. Selecting the second option (no USB, etc) seems to work OK, but there's no network - which I need.

 

Thanks for the input guys....

Keyboard navigating is what I have been doing to work around this. I havent tried the quiet acpi=off option but will give it a shot.

 

I have installed True Image V8 build 786. CD boot disk works fine on my other PC (older model) but not on my Titan GA-SINXP-1394 MoBo which I need it for! The Titan PC boots True Image up OK but no mouse function at all! Tried using keyboard but can't find the right key(s) for selecting the drive I want to image/restore from/to.

what is the quiet acpi=off noapic option? do and would this help my particular problem? AT the moment I can't use the software at all.

Do I nned to burn a new cd with another mouse driver and or this acpi=off. If so how do I do this?

regards
Chris

 

Hello Chris

Information on which keys to use can be found in this <post>.

I'm not sure whether the acpi=off workaround would overcome the problem. However, the way to apply it is detailed in this <Acronis Support Sticky>.

No can do I'm afraid. Note that the "Full" version of the rescue CD is Linux based.

You could also try creating a "Safe" version of boot rescue CD (it uses BIOS functions and DOS rather than Linux to access the computer) and seeing if that works.

Regards

 

Dear Menorcarmen, thank you for your suggestions, I will give the safe boot option a go. Rgds Chris

 

This problem also exists in build 922, and 1124. build 933 works ok
