Restoring the Image to the C: Partition Using a Bootable CD The following procedure explains how to use a bootable CD to run the Acronis True Image software to restore a system image from E:\System Restore folder to the C:\System partition when the system disk is not bootable. This procedure permanently deletes all of the material on your C:\System partition. Be sure to back up all important material from your C: partition before proceeding with this procedure. 1. Make sure the Acronis CD originally shipped with your system, (Avid part number 0010-09492-01 Rev A), or the

bootable recovery CD created when following the steps in “Creating a Bootable CD” from the setup and config guide is in the CD drive. Turn the system off. Wait 30 seconds.

2. Turn on the system. The Acronis software boots from the CD because BIOS is set to look at the CD drive for a

bootable disk before trying to boot from the hard drives. 3. When the Acronis Window opens click on Acronis True Image Home (Full version).

The Acronis software will boot from the CD.

browse to the System Restore folder. Navigate to the original image that was installed at the factory, (Avid Part Number)_Image.tib as in the screen below. If the user has created a later image and saved that image in the System Restore folder, that may be the best image of C:\System to restore. Acronis image files will have a True Image Backup extension (.tib).
