I’ll probably go back to the older BIOS, since I KNOW I can get a recovery done. I think I need to check with HP, I doubt this is an Acronis problem. In addition to disabling Secure Boot, I enabled Legacy Support. Now I can’t get it to boot from DVD at all. So I upgraded to F.20 (there were no intermediate versions listed). I was running Insyde F.14, which came out just after the Spectre/Meltdown exploit panic started. HP just released a new version of the BIOS last month. My boot discs were created using the simple method. It looks like my backups from the boot disc are about 4 Gig bigger than from within Windows though. I don’t remember being able to do full backup from within the OS since DOS 3.3. You sound like the guy that wrote Acronis T.I.īeing able to do a full backup from within Windows is something Acronis should make clear and advertise more. WOW! Thanks for the prompt and thorough response Steve. Default Simple mode uses Windows Recovery Environment, then Advanced mode offers the older Linux media or Windows PE (using the Windows ADK).

KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media I would recommend checking on the HP Support website to see if there are any later BIOS versions for your laptop. Note: it is possible that your HP Pavilion laptop is not running the latest version of BIOS and this can contribute to problems in this area. If you use the Simple method of creating rescue media in ATI 2019, then this will attempt to create Windows PE rescue media using files found in the Windows 10 Recovery Environment, and which do not require Secure Boot to be disabled, as you are in effect booting another copy of Windows 10 (similar to that used to install Windows). If you are using the older, Linux based, rescue media then this can require that Secure Boot is disabled. With regards to booting from Acronis Rescue Media in UEFI mode and whether Secure Boot should be disabled or not, this really depends on the type of rescue media being used. There should be no problems with creating a full Disk & Partitions backup image from within an active Windows OS using any recent version of ATI as this will capture all locked files etc by using the Microsoft VSS snapshot feature. Thanks for sharing your thoughts for other users to find. Albert, welcome to these public User Forums.
