Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the **** programs I've had the misfortune of using, but I'll leave my complaints about it out of the discussion. I made a backup of the 1TB HDD on my PC, which contains the Windows 8 drive as well as several recovery partitions using Acronis.
I backed up the nearly 300 GB to an external hard drive. I then created a bootable flash drive with the Acronis program on there. I turned on the computer and (after much difficulty because Acronis sucks ****) I booted into the Acronis program and after a nice 2 hrs waited for all of the partitions to be restored, as well as the MBR and I replaced the HDD with my new SSD rather easily. It recognizes that there is an MBR there on the SSD but something is wrong with it. I've tried this process multiple times and done a bunch of other things that didn't work and I've wasted my entire weekend. So now I have the old HDD back in the computer. Is there any way I can get this to work with Acronis? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. If you don't have any luck selecting a Boot Device, you may need to try one of the other options. Your new SSD may not work if you checked the MBR and Track 0. If you were restoring the image to the same drive it came from, that MIGHT be OK, but not on a different size drive. You may need to reload the image to the new SSD. I have had this happen a number of times when I wasn't paying attention.
It also took awhile to figure out why things were not working.Ĭommon Sense tells you that you should select the entire disk, but that usually doesn't work.īefore you go through all of that trouble though, you might try setting your Windows partition as "ACTIVE".
That may be the reason the Startup Repair couldn't fix the problem. Start Acronis True Image 2014, go to Backup and recovery and select Disk and partition backup: Select a partition or the whole disk to back up: As a backup location, select the removable media (CD/DVD/Flash): Select option Make this media bootable: Click Back up now. If you don't have 3rd party program to do this, an easy one to use is Partition Wizard 9. () Bootable media with a backup file can only be created when using Acronis. It's free, and comes as an ISO that can be burned to a bootable CD.
