| Issue | Probable Cause | Solution | |-------|----------------|----------| | USB not booting | Legacy vs. UEFI mismatch | Disable Secure Boot; enable CSM/Legacy Boot in BIOS. | | "Operating system not found" | Incorrect ISO writing method | Re-write using Rufus in DD mode. | | Missing hard drives during restore | Lack of storage drivers | Inject drivers via Media Builder before creating USB. | | Acronis 2016 freezes on modern hardware | Incompatibility with NVMe or newer chipsets | Use Acronis WinPE bootable media instead of Linux. |
