bootable CD error - argh!!!

Just downloaded the lastest version TI sofware and got the same error many people in the forum have been talking about. Spent hours reading the solutions and going through a half dozen CD-R's. A horible amount of time was spent because I trusted PC Magazine's review of this sofware. I have learned a lesson never to trust a review again. This software still should be in beta.

I have done the recommend actions to back up my laptop, Dell Inspiron 5100 and it still does not work!

o got the latest version of TI
o got the updated verion of XP Pro
o booted up in safe mode
o waited for the CD to ask me for a disk
o looked for a utility to slow down my Cendyne USB CD-R drive. It does not exist.

I am very frusted and cynical right now. I just wasted an evening.

Can I install TI on my desktop and create a bootable CD with it and use it to boot up my laptop if they have the same operating system? Will this work?

 

Yes, that's how I did it.

 

Hi, willitwork

Welcome to Wilders and Acronis Forums.

You should try it on a CD-RW Drive. [CD-Rewriter]
