You can run Acronis True Image Home 2011 from an emergency boot disk on a bare-metal system or a crashed computer that cannot boot. To do so, you will need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image Home 2011 version installed on it.
If you purchased Acronis True Image Home 2011 on the Web or as a download from a retailer, you can create bootable media using the Bootable Media Builder. For this, you will need a blank CD-R/RW or any other media from which your computer can boot, such as a USB flash drive.
Acronis True Image Home 2011 also provides the ability to create an ISO image of a bootable disc on the hard disk.
