(I don't have any 2010 Acronis programs yet.) When you make the original Rescue CD you can have ALL Acronis HD installed compatible programs added to the CD. It makes its OWN bootloader, and OWN menu. One menu item is "Windows". I have 4 or 5 other selections. These programs run in Linux, with one exception. You can force MS-DOS for one, but it limits features "a lot".
You select the menu item you want, and it runs an "almost" complete version of the Acronis program similar to what is installed on the HD. (Not all features are supported.) You can also add Acronis True Image to your MBR, and have a boot F11 key selection. (No CD required at all.) (Not sure what happens if HP/Compaq are already using that... You can add an Acronis recovery partition and keep your Image file there, but that assumes the HD will not fail. Rick Glazier, Former Acronis beta tester. From: "Winterlight"
When Acronis bootable Rescue CD boots up what happens... you boot into windows ... or do you boot up to a interface which allows you to restore a backup that is saved to your hard drive, USB drive, etc?
