TI 11 - Restore of *.TIB - Destination Disk is not selectable

Thread needs solution

I have a full disk backup *.TIB file. I want to restore a Lenovo disk containing a 'Rescue and Recovery' partition and a C: drive. Old drive 80gb - new drive 250gb. When I do a normal disk restore the R&R partition gets expanded to 15gb, and I can't shrink it without making the disk unbootable.

So, I wanted to try a sector-to-sectore restore, but the destination disk is not selectable - it is grayed-out. Why??

Any solutions?

Thanks.

Check item 7B & 7C inside my signature index below. These relate to version 11.

Lenova requires the reverse method. Remove the old drive and install the new blank in its place. Locate the source elsewhere. Must be done when booted from the Acronis Rescue CD

After completion, remove the source drive before first boot following cloning or restoring.
