Firstly post your system specs.

 

I'am new to this what do you call system specs

 

The specifications of your computer system.

 

windows xp sp3 pentium R 3.00ghz

 

You left out the amount of memory and the number of drives, but still that system is plenty fast. In the initializing process can you see which drive is being queried? You might try running chkdsk /r on the drive.

 

Sorry about missing there is 4gb of memory plus 5 HDD sata drives ranging from 60gb to 400gb

 

True Image being what it is (full of surprises), just for the heck of it, I would disconnect 3 of those drives and see if the problem goes away.

There were also some problems with a certain type of motherboard chipset. Maybe yours is one of those.

 

See if this applies to your situation:

Thanks for help and suggestions from every body i have got it down to a very acceptable level by un-installing every Acronis software then taking the bull by the horns going to the registry[mates suggestion very risky] and deleting every thing to do with Acronis then reinstalling bingo it then worked.
