Hello and welcome to the forum.
You should be able to boot from your Acronis Rescue Media (CD) and complete your restore from there, independent from any OS.

I've always found that no matter which backup software you use, the true value comes from having rescue media for that software, exactly for just such purposes as the issue you are experiencing currently.

I also use the Acronis rescue CD to make my disk images. That way there is nothing running in the background or updating to cause problems.
