Hey, so I purchased acronis true image home edition and have used it to create a backup of my boot drive. it's about 16gb and is located on the root of my storage drive.

Lets say windows stops working tomorrow and I can't even boot into it. what are the steps to get back to normal? I imagine I need to create a recovery disk? I am not sure where to do this on the software.

Open True Image/Tools and Utilities/Protection Tools then start the Startup Recovery Manager ... Once you have activated this option, you will then have the option to boot into the recovery module and recover your latest image ... works like a charm! ;)

I am aware of that but if windows isn't loading tomorrow, how do I open true image and tell it to run startup recovery manager.

Run the rescue disc creator from inside windows now. Then create either a bootable USB or CDROM with the Acronis rescue Software. Then if your windows takes a **** just put the USB or CDROM in and boot from it and recover the image.

Before windows boots you will get a screen prompt to "Press f11 to enter Acronis Recovery Manager". It will then load a linux module of Acronis and allow you to recover your Windows image ... Of course, you also have the option of creating a recover DVD if you wish..

also having the operating system on its own partition is much easier when you do need to reformat as well. and your backup size is much smaller and easier to manage.

also if you want to convert your acronis trueimage backup to a vmware virtual machine (so you can run it inside your operating system) you can check out this tool from vmware and it will do it for free.

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
