    Hi Team we have a restore problem her are some facts.

    Acronis Version True Image Home Version 11 Build 8,101

    Computer
    Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP4SC-DS3R/DS3
    2 * 2 Gig Cossair
    Cpu Intel Duo - Quad Core Q6600
    Video Card Gefore 7600 DX
    Liteon DVD CD Drive
    Hard Drive Weston Digital 160gig Sata, Partitioned c=30g, d=30g, e=44g,f=48g

    Everything is New, XP Pro loaded and updates , All drivers are the latest
    No Software loaded except True Image.

    Now Backup FULL for Drive C save it to Drive E

    Reboot System

    Call up True Image, and instruct to restore Drive C

    Computer reboots after a minute of checking, blue screen appears with cursor, cursor will move so it is not frozen, after 4 minutes, a progress screen comes up with no data in it, sttays like that for 5 minutes, then computer reboots back to windows without restoring drive C.

    The First time computer reboots into True image and settles down to blue screen the is no activity on the HD light untill the computer reboots again..

    Well Team it is over to you

    All the best from Alan

    Create the TI Rescue CD and try to boot from that. Let us know what happens.

    As John has indicated, you should be able to boot up using the True Image Rescue CD and then restore C only over top of the existing C.

    Be careful to know your C drive characteristics (used space/free space, etc) because the TI Rescue Cd may use different drive letters due to be Linux.
    Hopefully, you have or will assign unique names to your drives so they can be identified by their names--not their drive letters.

    Good Morning Team,

    I had all ready done that and did not want to give you 2 headaches in one,
    After booting the CD and clicked on restore, the software says we cannot find any hard drives.

    All the best from Alan

    Contact support via LiveChat via your registration page to get a new download which will see your drives; or create a different Rescue CD using VistaPE or BartPE--info via search.

    The two headaches are only one.

    When you restore the boot partition starting in Windows, they system reboots into the same Linux environment of the Rescue CD.

    The Rescue CD allowed you to see that the Linux drivers do not support your motherboard. Therefore, no hard drives are found.

    You need a Rescue CD with drivers for your system. As Grover said, you may get them from Acronis tech support as a new downloaded CD.

    If you have another system with a full backup, you might install the TI 2009 Trial version and make a Rescue CD. Try that on your system. This newer Rescue CD may have the Linux drivers to see all your hard drives. It will be able to restore a TI 11 backup.

    I suggest that the other computer should have a full backup because there have been reports of problems uninstalling TI 2009 on some systems.
