A boot disc is very useful because it can be used to perform troubleshooting tasks on an unbootable computer. Most of the time software that belongs in the category of data recovery, antivirus and hard drive backup/restore provides the option to create a boot disc which is sometimes known as rescue disc. Although these software can run from Windows, they are actually most efficient when run offline from a bootable disc.

An example scenario is you’ve accidentally deleted an important file. You can of course install a free data recovery software such as Recuva and attempt to recover the deleted file. However installing it on the computer will face a potential risk of the installed program overwriting the deleted file. To increase the chance of recovering the file, immediately shut down the computer, boot it up with a bootable WinPE disc and run Recuva from the Windows PE environment.

A boot disc is normally based on either Linux or Windows PE. Linux is commonly being used because the operating system and most third party tools are free, the generated boot disc is more compact in size and can run on slower computers. As for Windows PE, it has the best hardware support and most users would be familiar with it such as the hard drive naming convention (C:) in Windows compared to Linux (/dev/sda). However, Windows PE may have a higher system requirement because the latest Windows PE 5.1 already need at least 512MB just for the base and adding more drivers, packages, or apps will obviously require more memory.

Here we have a list of free boot discs based on Windows PE that come with a collection of useful tools which we think that every computer technician or even a normal user should have to hand.

20151. Paragon Rescue Kit 14 Free EditionAcronis True Image 2015 Serial Key Download

Paragon Software is well known for their hard drive management software. Other than shareware, one of the freeware applications they offer is the Paragon Rescue Kit 14. It comes with a bunch of useful tools such as backup/restore to virtual disk, postmortem backup/restore, boot corrector to fix MBR/boot.ini/BCD/EFI boot parameters, undelete partition to restore partition that has been accidentally deleted, and file transfer. Unfortunately the registry editor and password cleaner to reset the local Windows user account is only available in Linux but not in Windows PE.

Paragon Rescue Kit 14 does not require Windows Automated Installation Kit nor Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit to build the recovery media if you’re creating from a Windows 7 or newer operating system. The builder will simply use the WIM image of the current operating system. However do take note that you will need to install WAIK or ADK if you want the builder to create the ISO image file.

During the building process, you have the option to enable the advanced mode that allows to add storage and network device drivers, network configuration such as detecting the network interface automatically, and mounting a network share automatically after boot. You will also need to provide the product key and serial number which can be obtained for free at their official website.

2. Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition

Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition is free for non-commercial use only. It is able to create a Windows PE boot disc containing a few modules to help in recovering a crashed Windows by repairing boot errors, recover files after accidental deletion, cloning and creating disk image, recovering Windows serial number and resetting user account password.

Building a Windows PE with Lazesoft is as easy as clicking on the “Burn CD/USB Disk” button. You can choose to build a specific WinPE version ranging from Windows 7 to 8.1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit by clicking the Options button. The builder will automatically download the necessary components to build the WinPE if your computer does not have the files.

The Windows File Manager button found on the Lazesoft Recovery Suite Home Edition disc is not really a fully featured file manager like Windows Explorer where you have two tree view panes to easily manage files. You can however launch a third party file manager from the Windows Recovery button, go to the RepairTools tab and click on Lazesoft File Manager.

3. AOMEI PE Builder

AOMEI Technology, the company that is well known for their PC backup software called Backupper, released a freeware program called PE Builder late last year to help users easily build a WinPE-based bootable media with just a few clicks. AOMEI PE Builder is able to build a Windows PE by using the Windows Recovery Environment that is found on newer version of the Windows operating system such as 7 and 8, so there is no need to download and install WAIK or ADK.

The Windows PE built by AOMEI PE Builder looks more like a normal Windows desktop because it comes with Windows desktop and Explorer which is not found in the Windows PE built by Paragon Rescue Kit or Lazesoft Recovery Suite. Other than that, AOMEI Backupper, AOMEI Partition Assistant and Windows Recovery Environment is included by default. You can also embed 3rd party portable tools such as 7-Zip, Everything, IrfanView, Notepad++, Q-Dir, Recuva, SumatraPDF, FileZilla, PENetwork, QTWeb, BOOTICE, NTPWEdit and OSFMount to the Windows PE by ticking the checkboxes. Custom drivers and files can also be added.

Do take note that the current version 1.4 and all older versions might not build a working Windows PE and this is caused by some compatibility issues with the recent Windows updates released by Microsoft. If you urgently need to build a working Windows PE using AOMEI PE Builder, you can do it from a Windows 7 computer with the 2 Windows updates KB3022345 and KB3045999 uninstalled. This workaround only works in Windows 7 but not in Windows 8.1. AOMEI is aware of this issue and is currently working on a newer version to fix this problem.

4. Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE

If you’re looking for a pre-built Windows 8.1 PE, look no further and just use Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE because it is packed with useful programs. It has a desktop, explorer, start menu replacement with StartIsBack, compression tools, image viewer, hard drive tools, video player, OpenOffice, remote access tools (Ammyy Admin, Remote Desktop, TeamViewer), anti malware such as ClamWin and MalwareBytes, and many more!

Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE is 1.8GB in size and in an ISO image format. You can burn it to a DVD or install it to a USB flash drive using Rufus. Both X86 and X64 versions of the 8.1 PE are available to download. All the tools embedded to Gandalf’s Windows 8.1 PE are either free or trial versions which means it’s free from pirated programs.

5. WinBuilder 2015

WinBuilder 2015 is the new and completely rewritten tool of WinBuilder 082 which has not been updated since 2011. The old WinBuilder 082 comes in a nice graphical user interface with buttons and graphs while the latest WinBuilder 2015 runs in a simple window that accepts commands, similar to a command prompt. This new version of WinBuilder runs on Java which means it can also run on operating system other than Windows such as Linux and Mac OSX.

The old WinBuilder 082 is supposedly easy enough to use involving only two steps but may be difficult to troubleshoot the problem if there are errors during the Windows PE building process. The new WinBuilder is even easier by typing a single command “AUTO” into the window, and the whole process of building a Windows PE bootable disc is fully automated including the downloading of the Windows ISO image file.

Currently there are 18 portable software tools that can be added to the Windows PE automatically through WinBuilder 2015 by typing the command “install appname” in the program. The plugins available to install can be listed by typing “install list” in the program window. For example, to install Recuva, simply type “install recuva” in the window. Do note that there is no need to type the complete plugin name because the program accepts partial filenames.

Download WinBuilder 2015

Additional Notes: You can build a WinPE 5.1 which is based on Windows 8.1 using the old WinBuilder 082 through Win8.1SE. You will need to download the Windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation ISO, extract it to your hard drive or mount the ISO to a drive letter, point the source directory to the extracted/mounted Windows 8.1 files, and click the Play button. Optionally, you can also change the configuration settings by enabling/disabling the scripts found at left hand navigation tree.

Introduction

When a backup ends with an error status (backup is not created), Acronis True Image displays a short error message in the product interface, and writes the details in a text log file (“full log”).

To see the short error message do either of the following:

  • Click on the red cross or the pause icon in the center of backup task screen.
  • Click on the Activities tab of the failing backup task

If the short error message was not enough to find a solution and resolve the issue, search for key words «error» and «failed» in the full log which can be accessed by any of the listed methods:

  • Locate the newest file at C:ProgramDataAcronisTrueImageHomeLogsti_demon and open it in Notepad
  • If you have configured email notifications, the full log will be attached or included in the body of the email
  • Download and launch Log Viewer tool (does not require installation), from https://kb.acronis.com/content/59335. When launched, it automatically loads and displays a formatted log of the latest backup attempt, where you can find the error message and look it up here.

Learn more about the full log format at https://kb.acronis.com/content/49484

Before you begin

If you do not want to troubleshoot, but are OK with repeating the procedure of configuring the backup task and running a full backup again, you can try a clean reinstall and start over with a new backup task. Create a new empty folder in the backup destination for storing the backups (local backup) or create a new backup task (backup to Cloud). Delete the old backup to make room for the new backup. While that does not help always, it still can save you time and efforts on troubleshooting a number of backup failures, especially undocumented.

Acronis True Image 2015 Crack + Serial Key Free Download

Backup error message
For causes and solutions please see the entire cells to the right.

Possible causes

Solutions: apply solutions in the order they are listed. Check if the issue is resolved after each.

  • The device, where backups are physically stored, is powered off, not connected, hung up or does not provide access to the directory with backups due to any other reason
  • Multiple drives are used either for storing backups, or as backup source, within a single backup task. Acronis True Image does not support rotating drives
  • The folder where backups are stored changed its name, was moved, deleted or user permissions for accessing it changed
  • A parent directory in the folder hierarchy changed its name, was moved, deleted or user permissions for accessing it changed
  • Backups to local network/NAS:
    • Location for storing backups was defined using the IP-address (e.g. “192.168.0.12backups”, it changed after updating the software/firmware of the NAS
    • Location for storing backups was defined using the name of the NAS/network device (e.g. “MyCloudbackups”, and an issue on the router, NAS or the PC/Mac caused the network name to work anymore (e.g. you can access files and folders on your NAS by IP, but not by name)
  • .TIB files were renamed, moved or deleted outside of Acronis True Image interface
  • Outdated names, paths or access details in the cache of Acronis True Image
  • .TIB files were renamed, copied, moved or deleted outside of Acronis True Image program’s user interface: have you cleared up disk space by deleting .TIBs in Windows Explorer? Now the old paths to .TIBs, remembered by the program previously, point nowhere and the software is unable to access the files required to continue a backup set.
  • If backup source or destination drives are swapping/rotating external USB disks: create one backup task for each source and each external drive or switch to Acronis Backup 12.5 (PC, Mac)
  • Bitlocker-encrypted disks: unlock the disk where backups are stored, see https://kb.acronis.com/content/58859 for details
  • Edit backup task and reselect backup source and destination
  • Follow https://kb.acronis.com/content/60612
  • NAS: reboot the NAS

Ensure that the folder is accessible

The specified file does not exist

Cannot access the path

Failed to open the backup location

Cannot find version

This is not the last volume of the backup archive

The drive is not ready

  • The disk device is not responding properly to read/write requests, which could be a temporary glitch or a permanent failure of the device - try copying a file from the selected backup source to the backup destination using Windows Explorer to check that factor
  • Corrupted file system or disk partition table
  • Acronis drivers for accessing the disks are not functioning properly
  • Reconnect external disk:
    • Safe eject the drive
    • If it has an external power source – disconnect it, wait 10 seconds, and re-connect it
    • Re-connect the disk to a different port on the computer
    • NAS devices: reboot the NAS
  • Reboot the computer.
  • If the check of copying file through Windows Explorer failed (see the “Possible causes” part to the left)
  • Repair software installation: https://kb.acronis.com/content/60195#Running_the_update_repair_installation1 , then edit backup task and re-select backup source and destination
  • Change the caching policy for the disk to “Optimize for quick removal” as per https://kb.acronis.com/content/4071

The device is not ready

The trial version of Acronis True Image has expired

  • Trial mode was already used once. The trial period is restricted to 30 days and to be only one-time per major version of Acronis True Image in the given operating system. Learn more on trial mode at https://kb.acronis.com/content/2768
  • Subscription license expired and was not renewed, software moved into trial mode and 30 days trial mode also ended
  • New or extended license required interaction under https://account.acronis.com for proper license activation and you may have missed the corresponding notification. As a result, the new/extended license was not activated and the software moved into trial mode.
  • Renewed subscription license was activated to a different email address, leaving the original account without a license. Software entered trial mode, which then ended.
  • The regular license check failed and the software transitioned into trial mode, which then ended
  • Renewed subscription license or a new perpetual license could not be activated due to any other reason, the software entered trial mode, which then ended
  • System date and time changed as a result of system recovery, clone or any other way
  • Issue with the license cache on the current computer
  • Check the major version of installed Acronis software (e.g. 2014, 2018), remember if you have trialed it before on the current operating system
  • If you have a non-trial license: activate it as per https://kb.acronis.com/ati2018/activation
  • Subscription users: make that the new license is registered to the same Acronis account. Move the license between different email addresses as per https://kb.acronis.com/content/60806
  • Make sure the system date and time are not in the future
  • Perform a clean reinstallation

Disk is full

  • Running out of space on the disk where backups are stored:
    • Automatic backup cleanup does not apply to backup versions that are not visible in Acronis True Image interface. As a quick check, open “Recovery” dialog and expand the list of available dates – recovery points, compare to .TIB files
    • Automatic cleanup rules are misconfigured
    • Earlier backup versions were not deleted due to any reason
    • The disk where backups are stored, became filled with not Acronis files
  • NAS: the limit (quota) for the NAS user account, indicated during backup setup, has been reached. This quota/limitation is configured in NAS settings outside of Acronis software. Acronis has no influence on it. The NAS user account is completely unrelated to Acronis account and is set exclusively through the NAS management panel
  • External drive, where backups are saved, has quotas enabled for different Windows users. To check if that is the case, right-click the disk in Windows Explorer, click on the Quota tab and click “Show Quota settings”
  • Not enough free disk space on the source disk for Microsoft VSS snapshot
  • Too high disk activity on the source disk causes Microsoft VSS snapshot to cancel and delete
  • Check that other software is not filling the disk space where you save the backups. Move or delete the files from other software to a different disk/location
  • If there are .TIBs that are not registered in Acronis True Image (missing in the list of recovery date/time), turn off self-defence feature as explained at https://kb.acronis.com/content/60190 and delete these orphaned .TIBs from the destination disk. If you need those backups – add them to the list as per https://kb.acronis.com/content/60918 and find what other backups/backup versions to delete to free up disk space
  • Correct the rules for automatic backup deletion and free up disk space:
    • Enter backup settings – tab “Backup scheme” and adjust cleanup settings: reduce the number of backup chains to keep (a backup chain is a full backup and all the incrementals/differentials before the next full backup). Earlier backups are deleted by chains. Deletion of any backup version is postponed until all the chain is subject to deletion.
    • Free up disk space by deleting backups: click the arrow key next to backup name in Acronis True Image to open the menu, choose “Delete” – “Delete entirely” or “Cleanup versions”
  • Close all other programs when running the backup, especially antivirus, security and software that could be intensively reading or writing data to disk: data synchronization, copying, backup, cataloging, search and indexing
  • Run the free Acronis tool for troubleshooting Microsoft VSS issues: Acronis VSS Doctor.

Acronis Cloud is full

  • Backup versions occupy too much disk space in the Cloud
  • Reduce the number of backup versions to keep in the backup settings, delete earlier versions
    • Open backup settings – “Options” - tab “Advanced” – “Acronis Cloud cleanup”, reduce the number of versions to keep, and the amount of time the versions are stored in the Cloud
    • Click “Account” on the left action bar – click “Browse my data”, mouse over the backup and click the gear icon that will appear, to access the backup cleanup and delete menu options
  • Download some of your backups from Cloud locally, then delete those backups from Cloud:
    • Click “Backup” on the left action bar in Acronis True Image, click the backup, then click Recovery at the top of the screen, follow the offered steps to download the files,
    • Click the small arrow next to the backup name in backups list, select Delete – click Yes.
  • If you need all of the backups, including all accumulated backup versions, and room for new backups – buy more storage space:
    • Click “Account” on the left action bar
    • Click “Upgrade” button
    • Select the appropriate new storage quota and proceed with the purchase wizard. Learn more at https://kb.acronis.com/content/60165

Check your Internet connection

  • PC/Mac, where Acronis True Image is installed, does not have internet connection
  • Connection to Acronis Cloud is blocked by firewall, antivirus or other security software on PC/Mac
  • Connection to Acronis Cloud is blocked in the system file “hosts”
  • Access through the required network ports is not allowed in firewall, antivirus or other security software on PC/Mac, on the router or at Internet Service Provider (ISP) level
  • Follow https://kb.acronis.com/content/60964 to troubleshoot and resolve the issue

Nothing to back up

  • Disk with the data, selected for backup, is not connected, turned off or is not accessible for any other reason
  • Unique identification codes of disk, partition, selected for backup (disk's and partition’s properties that exist outside of Acronis), changed as a result of disk format, firmware update, partition table modification or due to any other factors. As a result, old identification codes, stored in the backup task configuration became outdated
  • If the backup source is a network drive/NAS – the share may have been disabled, changed its name, access path or was deleted
  • Start creating a new backup task - if the product does not «see» any disks at all, it means Acronis drivers did not load correctly. This might happen in scenarios of multiple Acronis products installation, re-installation and uninstallation, because the core Acronis drivers are shared among products.
  • Edit backup task, click on the backup source on the left side of the window and re-select what to back up.
  • Delete the backup task that fails and create a new one
  • Uninstall Acronis product, reboot the computer and install it again
  • If multiple Acronis products are installed: uninstall all of them, run the Cleanup tool, reboot the computer and install Acronis True Image anew.
