Recover Does not Recognises DVD or USB

My image is stored on a hard drive via USB. However when
trying to recover & restore the image the USB drive is not recognised. I then copied the image to DVD & Acronis was able to see it & it's integrity was checked, but when trying to recover via a bios reboot, Acronis could not find any files on the DVD.Any ideas. Thanks.

 

I had the same problem. The only solution is to record the images on a Cd

 

Hello John12,

Thank you.

How is your USB drive connected? Sometimes it can be something as simple as plugging it into a different USB port or, if connected via a hub, plugging the drive into a native USB port. Your image should restore from your USB drive and it is worthwhile looking at the causes of that problem - there should be a solution.

In order to use the two-step method, the image must be broken into DVD sized chunks BY TRUE IMAGE during the initial imaging. I don't think it is possible to split it after the image has been taken. Not positive, but that may be the cause of your second problem.

 

Hello John12,

As TI in Windows mode was able to verify the image on DVD, I will assume that the size of the .tib file(s) was/were correct for the type of DVD compilation you recorded (less than 2000MB for DVD-ROM (ISO) or less than 4.3GB for DVD-ROM (UDF). However, can you confirm that the DVD was "finalised" after burning?

Regards

FWIW I have my images stored on an external Freecom USB HD and have had no problems with backing up and restoring to/from that drive. Either from Windows or the boot CD.
Good luck
John
