2.3 Running Acronis True Image Home
You can run Acronis True Image Home in Windows by selecting Start Programs Acronis
Acronis True Image Home Acronis True Image Home or by clicking on the appropriate shortcut on
the desktop.
If your operating system does not load for some reason, you can run Acronis Startup Recovery
Manager. However, this must be activated prior to use; see Acronis Startup Recovery Manager (p. 22)
to learn more about this procedure. To run the program, press F11 during bootup when you see a
corresponding message that tells you to press that key. Acronis True Image Home will be run in
standalone mode, allowing you to recover the damaged partitions.
If your disk data is totally corrupted and the operating system cannot boot (or if you have not
activated Acronis Startup Recovery Manager), load the standalone Acronis True Image Home version
from the bootable media, supplied with the retail box or created by you using Rescue Media Builder.
This boot disk will allow you to recover your disk from a previously created image.
2.4 Upgrading Acronis True Image Home
If you already have Acronis True Image Home installed, the new version will simply update it; there is
no need to remove the old version and reinstall the software.
Please keep in mind that the backups created by the later program version may be incompatible with
the previous program versions, so if you roll back Acronis True Image Home to an older version, you
likely will have to re-create the archives using the older version. We strongly recommend that you
create new bootable media after each Acronis True Image Home upgrade.
