I have Acronis True Image Home, Build 8,101. I have maxed out the small 60G internal HD in my notebook computer. I need to replace it with a new larger internal 160G HD. I want to backup all XP operating system/drivers/programs/data/emails/etc onto an external USB 160G HD then restore thecomplete operating system and all data onto the new internal 160G HD.

How can I safely do this since I use this in business and cannot afford to lose any programs and data?

(I have a Toshiba Satellite A15 notebook which was bought new with the original XP operating system installed from a Toshiba installation disk.)

David,
Build 8101 belongs to version 11.

Click on my signature index below and spend some time reading item 3-A about backups; and item 3-B about restoring to a new larger drive.

The type of backup that you need is one where you check mark the disk option so everything (all partitions) is included in the backup. Be sure that the backup is validated and you could create and the backup when booted from the TI Rescue CD and it could be validated as part of the backup creation.

After you have read (and reread), you can then use TI to simulate your restore. Don't do your actual restore until you have practiced and feel comforable with the procedures.

The two guides (3-A and 3-B) should provide all the information and illustration you need. Restoring from a backup onto a new disk should be risk free as the old master disk is not attached.

Remember, the restore is done when booted from the TI Rescue CD. The old drive has been removed and replaced by the new blank disk.
After completion, of the restore, be sure and shutdown and remove the external connection before rebooting.

After reading and studying the guides, if you still have questions, come back to the forum with specifics.

I want to do the following without a lot of fooling around and research and so far I am more that a few hours into this. Anyhow, I find the instructions pretty complicated. For example, just in your article above in the first line you say "Start the TI program inside Windows". I can onlyh assume this is the 'True Image 2013" program.
I have already entered my first online critic of the instructions. It was:
"I have a new 1TB Hard Drive from Western Digital which I purchased to replace my 362.11GB Toshiba HD in my Toshiba Notebook. This KB #2931 entitled Cloning Laptop Hard Disk says I have to put the new HD, the Target, in the notebook and use Acronis to transfer data from the old drive which is now an external. Since I downloaded Acronis from your website, how would you suggest that I do that? (I suppose the answer is simple, and you will say that I should make a disk copy or something, but WHAT does Acronis say, and is there specific instructions somewhere that tell you what to do?)
I think the instructions are terrible and jump around too much. Why not do an actual transfer on the specific way to accomplish this by using video and transcribed print out of the video?
I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible so I don't have to fool around with doing this much longer!!!!
I am really quite disappointed with Acronis. You have taken what appears to me to be a good program and put so much into instruction as to make it very, very, complicated. I think it looks like a good product, but I am not interested in spending a whole lot of my time trying to figure it out, which so far is in excess of two days attempting to do it off and on between trying to make a living, etc.
BTW, also noted that the new Western Digital 1 TB Hard Drive that I have has a message right on the label that says "Advance Format Drive. To Achieve Full Performance:....I can't even begin to tackle this right now. Just one more thing to confuse the effort to simply accomplish replacing a small hard drive with a larger.
I am using Win 7, 64-bit. Don't tell me to "Study" the help files and practice before I do it. It would seem to me that a backup and recovery program would suggest backing up the material and then one would have a copy of the data in case something did go wrong!!!!! Very short-sited answer.
