Recover whole disk into partitions?

Thread needs solution

Hello,

I have a laptop that I want to split the disk into two partitions, make it dual-boot. I've got two whole disk acronis backups. One is windows 7 that was installed on this same laptop and a windows XP that was installed on the same laptop.

How can I split up the disk into equal partitions and recover each acronis backup into each partition. Is this even possible.

thanks.

Andrew,

There are a couple of ways you can achieve what you want.

First though, are you recovering to the existing disk or a new disk?

I take it one of your complete disk images is the W7 and the other is XP?

There is another option where by you could virtualise your XP and run it from within W7 or if you have W7 Ultimate/Enterprise actually boot it, which would save you having to fiddle with your disk structure.
