E000101F4: Acronis True Image Echo Server has not found any hard disk drives.

Same Acronis product like the post before but different problem.

A few days ago i imaged a HP ProLiant Server (windows server) with an Acronis boot cd without a problem. After i did some tests with other os’ i decided to write back my newly created image. Put in the disk, booting, and what the heck, suddenly i got the error:

E000101F4: Acronis True Image Echo Server has not found any hard disk drives.

Alright, doing some search in the official Acronis wilderssecurity.com forum got me to try several steps:

  • disable AHCI in BIOS
  • in acronis boot menu, type F11 an set: “quiet acpi=off noapic”

surprise, surprise, Acronis didn’t find anything, either…

What have i done since making the last image?

I deleted my logical volume and created it again freshly. Could this be the problem?

Starting up Acronis without the “quiet” option (boot menu, press F11) will display you some debug messages. For my case i read something like

no valid partitions

I don’t know why a valid partition is needed to restore a image, but i gave it a try.
Booting up knoppix and created a single partition with fdisk and booted up Acronis again without optional parameters.

What a surprise, it found my disk again!
