Also, this seemed to be the default option, and i accepted it. Question: when i used the acronis options to prepare the new drive before trying to copy the image file to the new drive, in the 'create the partitions on the new drive' part, it asked to leave 1 MB of free space before the 1st partition like it does when there is an MBR drive. There is a "uefi boot" option, and it has an option for the usb acronis boot drive, and that is what i select when i boot to the acronis usb drive.Īgain i apologize for the delay, and i look forward to your next suggestion! With the optiplex, i press F12 at startup, and i get several boot options in a list. I am using a dell optiplex 9010, and i am booting off of a usb acronis drive (an 8 GB usb thumb drive) i made with the acronis true image program i bought and installed on a windows machine. Regarding the question, ".is the acronis usb boot drive booting into uefi mode", the answer is yes. ).īut, back this this (very important to me) problem: Thank you so much for replying, and i apologize for the delay in replying back (.holiday stuff. Ps, the drive i am trying to copy yhr image file to is a very small sata drive, only 350 GB, but im thinking that should not be an issue? It would be great to be able to recover successfully. I dont even know were to start to figure out exactly what failed. I seemed to be able to assign the right source and destination partitions normally (eg the acronis screens responded normally), but only about a minute (if that) after I clicked "proceed" to write to the new hdd, i get the error "recover operation failed". The partitions were EFI System (which was in fat32), Recovery Partition (which was in ntfs), and the windows partition (which was ntfs). Then i made partitions on the new disk that matched what was on the disk i am trying to "backup". Then when i connected the a new hdd (to test the image file), i booted to an acronis usb, and i ran the add new disk option choosing the initialize as GPT option. I went through the same steps i used with the mbr disks to make the image file (eg i booted off an acronis usb that i made with the acronis program), and it said it made the image file successfully. So, I have done this successfully with on other computers with MBR drives, but this is the first computer i have that has uefi. I have acronis true image 2017, and i want to make an image file of the hdd (eg in case the hdd fails i will have something to restore to). I have a win10 dell optiplex computer and it has uses the uefi boot manager (if thats the correct terminology). I was hoping I could get some help with this problem.
