I don't own Acronis TI, so I was just going by what I had read (about not burning directly to DVDs). I just found this article that they now allow direct burning to DVDs without 3rd party software.
Yes, it can burn to a dvd now--however, it is still buggy and IMO not reliable enough to say "it works!". You can read discussion about that issue here. For my peace of mind, it's backing up to 1 or more external hard drives that is safest for a home pc.
But TI does keep getting better and better. Their incremental scheduled backup works like a charm.

Guide to Norton Ghost
Has anyone put up a guide on how to Ghost a HDD using Acronis? I'd suggest someone put a guide together on FW for the most basic routine, it would be sooo great to have this. Most people leave their backups to the Windows built-in utility; they are sorely mistaken when a major problem occurs. Ghost can be very technical, but atleast it has the tools needed for the job. Built-in Windows recovery is a nightmare, especially when a virus/spyware/malware is living in //system32 or another important folder.
Thanks to maddiebeagle for the update. |

No need for Ghost when a great guide already exists.
I don't know if one exists for Acronis True Image or not, but I would imaging one could learn the basic concepts from the Ghost guide and be able to get by pretty well.
EDIT: I think your post is actually ON topic, so I don't mind if you leave it! I try to spread the (ghost) gospel as much as I can. |

I have started a thread on the related topic of how to recover data from deletion/format/trashed partitions etc. You can find it here. It is a work in progress. |

Try "SpinRite" from Gibson research. grc.com Steve Gibson does a very informative podcast with Leo Leport.

Thanks, but that's already in the original post:
...Go to either The BartPE website, or The Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (ubcd4win) Website, and read the instructions for building either of the bootable discs...
The ultimate boot cd is better, IMO, as it is built on BartPE technology, but includes many, many more tools built into it by default. Have you tried it yet?
Thanks and good luck,
Mark |

This may be a little OT but here is my question,
I have a bad hard disk on my laptop, I have recovered data using method 3;I am trying to do a fresh load of OS, if I put windows xp cd it boots and starts loading OS but gives me blue screen before complete installation. I have an enclosure for the laptop drive and was wondering if I can try loading OS externally, (obviously I can try )but has anybody successfully done this, any help will be appreciated. TIA |

Glad you got your files back!
Now...I'd start a new thread, please, in order to keep this thread from being polluted with anything other than data recovery questions. Thanks.
Be sure you post exactly what hardware you have, etc, etc, as requested in the guide to seeking help in the computer forum. (LINK) P.S. It wouldn't hurt to know the EXACT error message you're getting, rather than us trying to guess.
Good luck,
Mark |

Computer would not boot up.
Found THIS page ... HERE!
"XP's Little-Known 'Rebuild' Command
"There's an easy fix for "Missing HAL.DLL," "Invalid Boot.Ini," and several other fatal startup errors"
Which told me how to get up and running again.
Worked like proverbial "Magic"
Hopefully helpfull to soeone else.

I used the System Restore feature on my PC recently to wipe the C drive and return it to factory settings. I forgot to back up one important Excel file first, however, before doing so. I used Stellar Phoenix to try to find the file, and it looks like I found a temp file that was written from one of the last times I edited the file. The problem is when I try to open this temp file, all I see is a jumbled mess of strange characters. Does anybody know how to convert the temp file so that it looks like the actual Excel file I'm looking for? TIA! |

Recuva (pronounced "recover") is a freeware utility to restore files that have been accidentally deleted from your computer. This includes files emptied from the Windows Recycle bin as well as images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital camera memory cards or MP3 players. It will even bring back files that have been deleted by bugs, crashes and viruses!
Like all other Piriform products (including CCleaner), Recuva is free for both commercial and personal use.
