Starting Acronis Loader...No configuration file present.

Attempted to do a complete restore on C drive. Within Windows it said a reboot was required and I selected it. When the pc rebooted I kept getting:

Starting Acronis Loader...
No configuration file present.
Press <Enter> to reboot

So, I tried my version 10 boot disk. I still get the same message. Nothings wrong with the boot disk as it works on another computer and worked on this pc before. What would block the boot disk from working?

What do I do to get past this?

I think I made a vital error in the recovery. I had a full backup and two incremental files. I selected the last incremental to restore assuming(probably bad assumption!) that it would restore the full and the incrementals up to that point. Is this where I went wrong?

I have the backup files on a secondary disk in the pc, so it seems if I could just get the boot disk to work I could do my full re-install.

Thanks for your help.

 

You may need to contact Acronis Support and request an ISO that uses the alternate loader. The default loader doesn't work on all systems.

 

You might also try downloading and installing the TI 2009 Trial version. Make a Rescue CD and see if that will boot your system. If it does, it can restore your TI 10 backup.

You said that the TI 10 Rescue CD worked on your system before. What hardware changes have you made since the last time you booted from the Rescue disk? Is this the same motherboard, disk controller, etc.?

 

The boot CD works on an XP system not on my Vista64. I've found other threads here that speak to that being an issue. That begs the question, will a rescue boot cd made from TI 10 boot with Vista64 or do I have to go to TI 2009 to get a bootable disk?

Anyway, I opted to continue with using my pc recovery disks, so I've got it back to the state it was when it was new. Now I just have to restore from my Acronis backup to get it current again.

 

If all you are doing is extracting data files from the backup image, that will work.

But if you try to restore the whole boot partition, it will have to reboot into the Linux recovery environment which is the same as the TI 10 Rescue CD. So, it won't succeed if the CD won't, as you found before.

A TI 2009 Rescue CD may be able to boot your system and allow the boot partition to be restored. That's my point. It's certainly easier to do that than to create a VistaPE boot disk with the TI plug in which is an alternative.

 

Hello lightman,

Thank you for your interesting in Acronis True Image

Even if Acronis True Image Home 2009 bootable disc loads without any issues we can’t guarantee that you will be able to restore image created with Acronis True Image 10.0 Home.

We cannot guarantee compatibility of Acronis True Image Home 2009 with images created with versions of the software older then Acronis True Image 11 Home: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/support/kb/?topic=Products&aid=871&cid=175

Can you tell me your serial number via PM so I can provide you updated ISO image of Acronis True Image 10.0 Home?

Best regards,

Hi, I have the same exact issue with my AcronisTrueImage V10 on a PC with Raid1 disks and 2 SATA drives . Can I get the alternative loader ISO image as well? Thanks!

Hallo Acronis-Support,
I have the same problem: My TrueImage 10-Bootdisc doesn't recognize my SATA-HDD, but my IDE-HDD (Vista 64bit-System).
So, I also would like to get the alternative loader ISO image.

Thanks

Hello Support,

what is PM?

I guess, I have to use it as well, since a rescue disk built with TI Home 11.0 Build 8105 and DD Suite 10.0 Build 2161 after moving to a new notebook leads to same behavior as discussed in this thread.

Thanks wop
