    For some reason I have made a number of boot CD's and none of them will complete the boot. It goes to the point where the message says
    "Acronis Loading, please wait" andnothing happens. Any ideas?? Is there a process that has to be started for Acronis to complete the loading sequence?

    Do you have multiple usb devices connected - including hubs, or a wireless keyboard/mouse?

    Hello artzelda,

    Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

    Please note that the bootable rescue media is based on Linux and when you boot your computer from it you get into Linux environment.

    Please modify Linux command line in the way described above and see whether the problem still persists.

    Thank you.

    This did not work. Should I try fixing the Master Boot recordo_O

    These are the last few lines when I delete the command 'quiet'

    Using 1lib/modules/ehci-hcd.o
    ehci_hcd 00:0b.1: pci device 10de:005b
    ehci_hcd 00:0b.1: irq 21, pci mem f8c1f001
    usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1

    By the way I just found out I can boot completely if I select the 'SAFE' mode but cannot boot when I select the "Full' mode.

    No, don't do anything to the Master boot record. The problem is that the LInux environment is having a problem with your system.

    Normally, the safe mode is DOS and doesn't have support for USB. You can go into it and see if there is enough functionality for you to continue. If your backup is not on a USB drive and your keyboard and mouse work then you might be able to proceed.

    If not then reset the machine.

    Wireless devices and multiple usb devices seem to "throw a curve" to Acronis True Image software. If possible replace the wireless devices with standard ones. If not, disconnect all usb devices and see if the bootable CD will work.
