I'm worried about other devices that I have cloned using Acronis now.
We (again) went for a clean load of windows using the existing set of hardware in the laptop with no issues. However, to be honest, I couldn't get the end user to follow the instructions, and they are many states away from me.
I believe if I could get into the Windows Startup repair and run a recovery it would fix any boot issues. It sounds like exactly what my problem is. I googled the error I got, and stumbled upon a Acronis Forum with details and potential fixes.
#ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 2014 WINDOWS 10 WINDOWS 7#
I tried a normal Windows 7 Disk (OEM), and a Dell Windows 7 recovery disk. I am not trying to blame Acronis, but I can't think of anything else that would exhibit the same exact behavior! The other thing that I couldn't do, is to boot into a Windows 7 disk to try to repair. Knowing a bit more details on booting sequence - like screenshots, what happens when you press boot menu and select C: drive - would help to understand more.Īcronis True Image 2014 does not modify your hidden partitions, so they are not are right, it does not sound as the imaging to hear about your bad experience on Forum - let me pass a feedback to Forum folks. You can always reach out to me here - I will help as much as I keep me in the loop - I will try to help as much as I can. Let me address few things your laptops were working after recovery, it's probably not Acronis True Image 2014 causing the malfunction. I may be wrong on how Acronis modifies the destination drive, but I thought it created a GPT partition maybe to make bootable? I haven't had this occur on other desktop or laptops yet, but it has on the 2 Dell's I've recently done this on. I believe using Acronis will load a Boot Partition onto the destination HD's to make it bootable, and it seems like that is becoming "corrupt" for lack of a better term. The BIOS on that machine sees a HD, but it's not booting. Laptop #2 was being used by a user for a week with no issues, until it just won't boot either. A reload on the exact same hardware (keeping SSD in laptop) seemed to fix it. He shut down, and the next day it would not boot up. The end user plugged into our network, authenticated into PC, and than proceeded to set up Outlook, and use it in the office. It didn't have any obvious damage or anything like that. The first laptop was shipped to a different location using a FedEx laptop shipping box. I edited with a little more detail in the post above your last one. It worries me because I've now done this on a plethora of different desktops and laptops, and I don't want them to all of a sudden just not work. However, a week later, the same thing happened. The first PC, I had reloaded, and just figured it was a one off issue. The BIOS is in Legacy Mode, but I've tried to change to UEFI boot, and mapped boot paths, but I can't seem to get it working again.
BIOS still sees the hard drives, but you can't boot. The laptops are totally different models, but all of a sudden they just won't boot into Windows, or safe mode. I've now had 2 laptops (different models) that I was able to clone to a SSD, but after a week or 2, they are no longer bootable. I've had good luck on most machines, but had a few specific Dell issues. The Source HD is always still in machine, and the destination HD (SSD) is attached via USB to SATA adapter. I boot into the Acronis program through a bootable USB and clone them in that way. I have used Acronis True Image 2014 to clone many different hard drives from traditional spinning disks to SSDs.
