True Image restore problem.

[Kenny]

Not strictly an XP problem but don't know where else to post it.
Advent 7096 laptop, ECS 331 m/b with onboard Ralink 2500 wireless adapter..
XP MCE/SP3, Acronis True Image 10.
I have a TI image of the laptop on an external USB HDD which I am trying to
restore.
If I start TI from Windows, select the image and restore to C: it tells me
that it has to reboot to complete. It reboots, gets as far as "loading,
please wait" in the Acronis loader and goes no farther, have waited up to an
hour!
Tried booting from a TI bootable CD created when installing TI. Same thing,
goes as far as "loading, please wait" and no farther.
I'm trying to avoid using the laptop recovery because I have updated
drivers, programs etc. in the image.
Might add that the reason I want to restore is because after installing SP3
my wireless LAN wouldn't work. Initially the LED on the keyboard came on
when the WLAN button was pressed but while the connection showed good signal
strength it couldn't find the router. After a while even pressing the WLAN
button the active LED won't even light!
Gone through the re-installing WLAN drivers, checking firewall etc. but no
good.
It may be a coincidence it happened after SP3, maybe the wireless adapter
has failed.
Have also installed SP3 on desktop and it went flawlessly.
Any advice appreciated.

Are you able to verify the image?
You might also try a memory check www.memtest.org the only time TI has given
me a problem it transpired that the memory was iffy

Have you tried contacting Acronis support?

Thanks for the reply.
It eventually worked starting from within Windows. There was an error
reading one file, I chose to ignore it and it appears to be OK now.
WLAN is now working so I think I'll skip SP3 on this laptop.
