Sorry but I am not completely sure what you are wanting to do here?

Are you keeping your 1st 1TB HDD as your main Windows OS boot drive?

What are you wanting to do with the 2nd 2TB HDD that you have installed internally?

What type of backup of your 1TB HDD have you created on your 2TB external drive?

Was your bootup disk made before or after you installed ATI 2019, i.e. with an earlier version or this one?

Once we better understand what you are wanting to achieve, we will be better placed to help you to achieve this.

what I want to do is restore to the  newly installed 2TB Hdd.The 1TB internal(old one) Hdd I'll wipe ,after I'm sure the restore fully restore OS and all programs etc and that they work.As far as what type of back up is on the EXTERNAL 2tb Hdd.From what I was told(when Acronis assisted me)was it was a full "Image Restore"back up with OS

Tim, please reply via these forums for this topic.  More questions to ask!

What OS do you have here?  Is this Windows 10 or an older version?

Have you tested booting your computer from the boot disc to access the standalone Acronis application?  If yes, does it see your internal and external disk drives?
