TI10 Home: problem restoring a Vista partition

When Installing Windows Vista, if I choose to delete the old partition and to create a new one, image can be saved with True Image Home 10, but when restoring it (with the boot cd created with TI), the restored Vista partition won't boot. I do not remember the exact error message, but I think a file is detected as corrupted.

This problem is systematical, and happens with all computers.

When Installing Vista on a NTFS partition created with XP, if I only format partition (without deleting it), no problem.

 

I experienced the same problem using Microsoft Vista Ultimate x64 and Acronis TrueImage 10 home build 4871 (German).

The error message after restore and reboot tells something about

The problem is the Vista boot manager is totally changed from XP and checks the disks MBR signature. After you repair this winload error and boot into Windows you will need to fix something else if you have system restore on. Go into system protection as your disk will be listed twice. One will be checked (protected) but be listed as missing and the other will say system but will be unchecked (not protected).

This may help to explain what is going on and the winload.exe error happens with all backup solutions right now (that I know of) except the Vista Ultimate built in one.
