Acronis and accessing files on a different computer

Yea, it's not letting me get to the cd drive. I see it light up, but then get the same failure message after saving it as the main boot device.

So far Acronis 2010 is not cooperating with Win7. I keep getting failure messages after having installed it. ALot of bad words flying here today. So far computer that was backed up has failed, backups are not accessible. Pissed off is a very mild term today.
In the future I am thinking I maybe best off using Windows backup. Acronis support is useless.

There is a sequence of events to startup/boot. If you are unable to access a boot CD and have it selected as "1st"... and you have replaced the optic drive to eliminate that as the possible cause, then your problem is likely more base... like BIOS or mobo.

If you haven't already, replace the optic drive. In my experience, it is the least reliable component of a computer... I've had more of them fail than all other hardware failures combined.
 
I have installed Acronis 2010 on my Win 7 Computer, and everything I try I get the message from Acronis saying that is stopped working. Maybe 2010 is not compatible with Win 7. I guess one more issue to explore. F*** this crap. I guess I am getting irritated.

Not having any luck so far.

Could be Acronis made v11 such that it would be compatible with XP and W7, but v2010 only for W7. At some point new software doesn't work on legacy OS.
 
Still at a loss. I walked away yesterday as I may have been starting to get beyond mild irritation with this stuff. :D
Back at it today. I have created another bootable device using a jump drive and will see if that helps anything.

So... you burned an Acronis boot CD... and that CD won't run Acronis on that same machine?
 
No, sorry, I wasn't clear. I installed Acronis on a different machine, and have made a bootable disk on it, and am trying to get to the files on the newer computer. The old one won't read anything, so I hooked the external drive with the Acronis backups to the newer machine and am having no luck. No luck opening files are restoring the entire system on a partion I made within the HD on the newer computer.
