    Acronis help (Spacecadet?)

    Hi folks, for the first time I have need of Acronis True Image Workstation 9.1 restore function, and of course, it doesn't work

    I'm using the "rescue" CD v.9.1 build 3887 (Linux boot, not BART) but it fails to fully boot.

    Anyone have a more recent version of the ISO file that I could try?

    Thx.

    Did you image the whole partition or just backed up, creating a .tib file?

    If the latter then the .tib file is probably toast....

      I've got the recovery CD with me that I used when I was upgrading my hard disk.
      No idea how to make an ISO.... give me 15 mins and I'll see what I can do

        OK - I just created an ISO from the Acronis utility, you can download it from here:
        http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1630056/AcronisMedia.iso

        No Guarantees!

        Should point out - I'm on V10 now but I guess it should recognise older backups

          Note to self: Make sure PC boots from Acronis recovery disk and can access the backups.

            Many many thanks! I'll give it a go.

              You're darn tootin'

              My current plan B : re-install windows on the knackered hard-drive, install Acronis, make a boot disk for that system, boot the CD ... but if what Cojak implies is true, I'm snookered anyway because I have a TIB file.

                Do you mean that the CD won't boot, or that after a restore the machine won't boot?

                  The recovery CD won't boot, meaning I can't even get to the stage of trying to restore.

                  More info: I have a TIB file on a 2nd hard-drive, from which I'm hoping to restore the system to its original state

                    All I have is TIB files and I've restored many times from them.

                    Have you tried mounting the TIB file as a drive?
