you must attach the external drive(s) before booting from the rescue media, otherwise the recovery
environment might not detect the drive(s).
3) If you store your backups on the network, you should also check that you can access the network
in the recovery environment. When booted from the rescue media, Acronis True Image OEM Quick
Backup might not detect the network. If no computers are visible on the network, but the Computers
near me icon is found under My Computer, ensure that a DHCP server is running on your network. If
you don't use a DHCP server, specify network settings manually in the window available at Tools &
Utilities ® Options ® Network adapters.
If the Computers near me icon is not available under My Computer, there may be problems either
with your network card or with the card driver shipped with Acronis True Image.
Selecting video mode when booting from the rescue media
When booting from the rescue media the optimal video mode is selected automatically depending
on the specifications of your video card and monitor. However, sometimes the program can select
the wrong video mode, which is unsuitable for your hardware. In such case you can select a suitable
video mode as follows:
1. Start booting from the rescue media. When the boot menu appears, hover the mouse over
Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup (Full version) item and press the F11 key.
2. When the command line appears, type "vga=ask" (without quotes) and click OK.
3. Select Acronis True Image OEM Quick Backup (Full version) in the boot menu to continue booting
from the rescue media. To see the available video modes, press the Enter key when the
appropriate message appears.
