Wont read DVD !!!!!!

My hard drive said it was having sector errors.
I did a complete backup to the secure zone.
I also did a complete backup to a DVD.

Then I reformated the boot partition & booted to the DVD.
When restoring from the DVD TI does NOT recognize any TIF files on the Drive.
So I restored from the secure zone.

However when I rebooted I get an "Error loading OS"

I then reinstalled windows manually & reinstalled Acronis Ti.
TI sees the TIF file on the dvd {But not If I boot via the DVD}
So I reinstalled it from there & then I get an error abot the registry hive not being valid.

I then created a back up from a differnt drive that is working fine.
Using TI to restore it to the bad drive gives me NTLDR missing error.



So my questions are as follows:

1] Why when booting to the DVD does TI NOT SEE any tif files on the DVD?
2] If the operating system was OK prior to the back ups why do they not
reload correctly?
3]Does TI not back up EVRYTHING when you do a partition or HD backUP?

Read the article as you suggested...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255220

This pertains to upgrading stsem from non win 2k or a failed installation.

My system has only had Win 2k & the insatallation has been funtioning for months.

There must be a different issue...
