Hard drives 1TB or larger an issue?

Thread needs solution

I have the hardest time getting TIH 2012 to restore an image .tib to a hard drive that is larger than the orginal hard drive the image was taken from. I have many tibs of our systems that were taken off 500GB hard drives. They restore fine to 500 GB drives or smaller but it never works going to a 1 TB drive.

Restore reports success but the hard drive robbots to the OS and at the Windows 7 startup screen it hangs. Windows repair disk recocnizes the disk but can never repair the startup process. Only difference is the 1 TB drive. Known issue?

Are you following the procedures outlined in item #8 (by Acronis) in the link below

You mght also try a manual cloning using the "as is" option and expand the partitions later after the cloning completed.

If not successful with any of these, then use Win7 to create a partition (any size-not formatted) and then clone to the modified disk.
