Hello.
I want to ask you some questions about ATI 2010 / SSD compatibility / Try and Decide option
My OS is Windows 7 / 32 bit. I have a new SSD, OCZ Vertex2 and 2 more HDD's
The SSD is for the C partition, and the other 2 HDD's are only for storage. When i used to have C on HDD, i never had problems with the option Try and Decide, but now, with the SSD as OS partition, almost everytime when i test a program, i enable Try and Decide and can test whatever i want, with no fear of viruses or whatever.
But after i reboot, i have there 2 options : Continue in the Mode and Stop and Discard changes ( something like that )
When i press Stop and Discard changes,Windows starts up, etc .... Mozilla Firefox 5, my default browser is messed up.
A lot of changes / options / settings from Mozilla, are up side down. I don't understand how comes, but it's true.
Every other programs / settings are okay after i use Try and Decide, except Mozilla Firefox.
I never used System Restore from Windows 7, and i don't wanna use it. I wish i could restore my backup image, often, but i heard is not recommended for SSD ( life time - shorter, etc )
I mention that i didn't created the Acronis Secure Zone. Could that be the reason ?
But when i used the HDD as C partition, some time before, i didn't have those problems, and i never created Acronis Secure Zone.
Could be, maybe, some compatibility between ATI Home 2010 and SSD ?
Please give me some tips, i really need / like / use a lot / Acronis, i don't wanna change this program.
PS : i tried today some other similar programs, like Shadow Defender, etc
But after i restart the computer / discard changes, only Mozilla Firefox is with problems.
Do you have any idea how could i fix that ? Some people adviced me to use MozBackup, and after i restart and Mozilla is " destroyed" i could use MozBackup.
But i thought i find a way to fix my problem.
Thanks in advance.
 


Solution
When you install Acronis, you get an option to create "Rescue media". This is a bootable CD that you can backup and restore outside of Windows.

When you boot from this, you get an option to Backup or Restore. I would choose the option to Backup an entire drive, instead of just a partition.

Follow the prompts from there to choose your SSD and make sure you choose the entire drive and not just a partition, and then you get a choice of what location to save that backup to and other options.

I've restored my SSD several times from this backup. When I do so, I first do a secure erase to clear the drive then boot from the Acronis Rescue Media and restore the entire drive.

The problem with Mozilla Firefox / SSD / Acronis Try and Decide / is still there.
I asked on so many forums, included Acronis forums, and nobody can tell me why that happent.
There are more user complaining about the same problem ( SSD / Acronis Try and Decide )
Do you know, maybe, a similar software like Try and Decide ? I test a lot of programs and i really need this one.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
If you open the link you will read where you are not the only one with the FF issue.
Also, sometimes the obvious is overlooked in regards to backing up what you need. I notice you mentioned you could not find a place to backup your system due to the interface.
When you click to backup, click the very top box which is the disc and not a partiton.
While selecting type of backup click on full as the default is not full.
Hope this helps.
