Acronis True Image Home 2010 Review Discussion

[ramg1967]

Hello All,

I am in need of your help with Acronis. I am using Seven Home Premium x64. Installed all the applications including Acronis True Image 10. I cloned the hard disk to an external hard drive so that, I can install Seven Ultimate x64. I created Acronis Boot CD as well.

Now the problem, I have is when, I boot the laptop (HP dv7t 3000) with Acronis boot cd, I get the acronis screen to boot from the cd and after that the screen goes BLACK and nothing happens. I searched the net for solution - found nothing. Appreciate, if you can shed some light.

Thanks

Ram

lol is it still a whoping 300+mb file... way to bloated for what it does and imo it does not do it any better than many other faster and more resource friendly apps. and know the after purchase support is normally awful. and as rorsch said if you are a novice good luck getting it totally gone afterwards. normally you will not be able to install other backup programs unless you kill and remove the acronis service/s that is simply just leaves behind. now im not saying its not at all a decent program, it does a few things good and most just okay. and after being a long time acronis user and having them totally ignore issues on their own forums from many users i dont go there any more.

shadow protect, and macrium reflect would be my first two choices ANY day..

The only way I was able to completely uninstall it was to disable the trueimage process in task manager then go into the acronis programs folder and rename all the .dl files except one of them which is protected. Restart then i can rename the protected file. then I use revo uninstaller to uninstall it and use the scan feature to detect any remaining registry and files. Works like a charm, but its a pain to do every time I use my backup image.
