Window goes blank when using Book cd

When i run the boot cd i see a blue image which shows the Aconis Image screen. Then after afew seconds the screen goes blank and remains inactive. Ive tried to press F11 while its loading but thats no use. Help would be very much appreciated! Im using v8 build 764

 

Get latest version then.

 

If you have a usb media reader, you might try unplugging it or putting media
in it..That solved my problem..Have same problem with build 786..Still waiting
on fix..Been waiting since ver 7...

 

Nope i dont have a media reader. Ive unpluged everything (printer, modem etc.), but it still dont work!

 

Hi,

Firstly update your TI to build 786 and create a new "Full" boot rescue CD. Then, if it still doesn't work, create a "Safe" version of the boot CD and try that.

Regards

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/).

We are really sorry for the inconveniences.

Could you please boot your computer from the Acronis True Image rescue disc and press F11 key when the "Starting Acronis Loader..." message appears? After you get the "Linux Kernel Settings" prompt, please remove the "quiet" word, click on the "OK" button and write down the last strings of the output, or use a digital camera to make shots of the output screens and send the captured information to support@acronis.com along with the description of the problem. You can use Shift+PgUp and Shift+PgDn keys in order to scroll the screen manually.

Thank you.

Hi

I pressed F11 when the "Starting Acronis Loader..." message appeared, but nothing happened. The program continued to load and then just went blank again. It also happened with v7. Ive got this update and im still getting the same problem.

 

Is it a USB keyboard? Try using a PS/2 adapter. Maybe it's just not recognizing the keyboard?

 

Nope. The keyboard isnt a usb.

 

Still sounds like a keyboard issue. Post details of your hardware for better responses. Also, does the Safe version of the rescue CD work?

 

Nope

Keyboard works fine....

 

Hello QBs_Finest,

Could you tell what model of the keyboard you use?

Thank you.

Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural Keyboard

 

The probelm may be that your computer boots very fast and you press the F11 key a little bit late. Try to press it several times in advance. If the keyboard works you should be able to get to the kernel settings menu.

Thank you.

Ive attempted that too....no luck once again.

 

You misunderstand. It doesn't matter if the keyboard works fine in Windows or DOS, etc. If it's not supported on boot-up by the Rescue CD, then it won't work. This is more typical of USB keyboard than PS/2 however.

That said, you need to post details of all of your hardware. Otherwise, we are just shooting in the dark. This problem you describe does not occur with almost everyone else. So there is something specific about your system that causes it. Without that info, who can help?

Finally, did the Safe version of the Rescue CD work or not, I can't tell from your response.

Anyway, good luck with it!

Safe mode - the boot cd didnt work

 

You have a conflict showing in DM with a PCI Communication Device. What is it?

 

Its a modem

 

Ah Ha! Solved the problem. It was the memory chip. Once i removed it, the program fully booted.

Now, the new problem is that i cannot see the CD drives, just the hard disk.

 

Hello QBs_Finest,

Can you confirm that you don't see the CD-drive when choosing where to store the image?
Have you tried the acpi=off noapic method described at https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=55317?

Thank you.
