Acronis 10 appears to have an interesting issue regarding backup or restoration of acronis images via my bootable media. The software will get let you navigate to and start a backup or restoration task... however the progress bar never moves and other status info stays blank... but if you pay attention to the systems hdd indicator it goes wild. I have had successful recoveries this way only its a pain as you have no clue how far along or when the task will be in completed.
Ive experinced this issue on the following motherboards
Asus F1A75-M Pro
Asus P67 Sabertooth
Not sure of this is an Asus issue... but somehow i doubt it. There is no doubt in my mind that regardless of whats causing it hardware wise, its only being accentuated by Acronis' horrible coding.
