How to Restore to VHD?

Thread needs solution

Fortunately, I have never had to do a system restore. I am testing the process now with a laptop that I am about to recycle. I want to backup the laptop and restore to a VHD I can boot in Virtual PC. I tried converting my TIB to a VHD but that would not boot up. I tried booting the VPC using Acronis bootable media but cannot find a way to get to my TIB for restore. What am I missing?

Is there documentation out there. I have not been able to find much for instructions.

Using Acronis 2011 Home.

Thanks.

Hello Courtney Layne,

sorry for the delayed answer.

Here you can read more about using .vhd files in Acronis True Image.

The main thing is that .vhd files created with Acronis True Image can be used only to boot the same hardware.

Let me know, if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
