Version 8 recovery fails

Thread needs solution

Hi,
I've a Toshiba laptop recently reloaded with Win XP. I did a whole disk backup to external drive when all drivers and updates were installed with Acronis 8 which completed OK.
I removed the hard drive, intending to replace it with another drive to see if Win 7 would run but found my spare hard drive was the wrong sort so put back the original and found that windows only part loaded.
I tried to recover from the backup but after Acronis asked for a reboot, all I got was Loading..please wait...and nothing happened. If I wait, it eventually tells me it can't find the tib file but it is there on the external drive and I can mount the file and view it OK. I have reloaded Win XP with just the basic drivers and get the same results with Acronis 8 and also Acronis 2013.
Any one any ideas please?

Regards
Tony

XP is EOL in roughly 18 days. I wouldn't bother.
