toshiba restore disk and acronis

[Notebook]

Hi
made a backup of my laptop of my girlfriends son after adding office etc with acronis true image. I ahve restored this image several times from an external drive. However, this time I wont work. I point to the image, and it says it will have to reboot, drop into dos like state that it always does, but after the acronis logo appeared it just locks.
I then tried the acronis recovery disk option and this doesnt boot either. It gives you the boot sequence in the bios and so I set this to cd first... nothing, it just boots windows.

I then tried the toshiba boot disk, and thisfails to load, just goes to a normal boot.

If I place a normal windows cd in there and reboot it then goes to a normal windows setup menu / install, so the cd appears to be working properly. Any ideas?

cheers

Are there any scratches on the Tosh or Acronis boot CD's? If they are scratched then there's you problem.
