    Ti 10 will not let my OS restart. the system was rebooting to do a disk clone. This what I get when XP restarts.

    ##########################

    Acronis Autopart

    Setting Letters: ( which says 100%)

    Sync With OS: ( which says 100%)

    Completed

    ###################

    Then the OS just hangs. So is there a way to stop TI from loading, so I can get back to my OS?

    Hi ksheppard68,

    I was unclear. What type of Hard Drives are in your system? IDE, SATA, RAID, USB Hard Drives? Firewire Hard Drives?

    Hello ksheppard68,

    Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

    Please make sure you use the latest build (4942) of Acronis True Image 10.0 Home. To get access to updates you should first register your software. Don't forget to recreate Acronis Bootable Rescue Media after updating.

    If updating doesn't solve the problem, please perform the cloning operation using Acronis Bootable Rescue Media. Please notice that it's strongly recommended to remove one of the drives before booting after cloning to prevent Windows becoming confused with two identical system drives.

    Thank you.

    My system does not boot, it gives me the screen that I put in my original message. As it stands right now I no longer have access to the OS on that drive. Do you have any other suggestions, maybe one where I can bypass the cloning (as it keeps trying to do it, but hangs)?

    Hello ksheppard68,

    Please try booting into Windows safe mode and re-doing the clone operation.

    If that doesn't solve the problem, please fix your hard drive's MBR either by issuing "fixmbr" command in Windows Recovery Console or using one of the methods described in Acronis Help Post.

    If the issue persists, please collect some information to let us investigate it thoroughly:

    Please also create Acronis Report in the way described below:

    - Download and run Acronis Report Utility;
    - Select the "Create Bootable Floppy" option;
    - Insert a blank floppy disk in the A: drive and proceed with creation of the bootable floppy;
    - Boot the computer in question from this diskette and wait for report creation process to finish;
    - Collect the report file from the floppy.

    Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the problem appears and the link to this thread. We will investigate the problem and try to provide you with a solution.

    Thank you.

    My machine hangs and will not boot in to safe mode. I have done fixboot and fixmbr and it does the same thing. What I would like to know if there is a way to stop TI from running any commands, this needs to be done command line, as I can no longer access my OS?

    I have had the same problem with Vista, a bit luckier as my system will still boot. I have uninstalled and reinstalled TI10 to no effect. Have now upgraded to TI11 still not fixed it would be good to have a resolution of this.

    I ran the boot repair options available using bootrec.exe including completely rebuilding the BCD, no difference. o_O

    Similar process to what I have used, except that it is designed for XP. So probably not much help thanks.:)

    The problem (at least on my machine) was an autopartnt entry in the BootExecute registry entry at the following address.

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

    Apparently the BootExecute should only under normal circumstances contain:

    autocheck autochk*

    my one had:

    autocheck autochk* autocheck autopartnt

    removing the extra "autocheck autopartnt" has fixed the problem.

    Setting a system restore point before doing this would be strongly advised

    It worked for me - no guarantees for anyone else use at your peril:D
