What to do to restore Win7-64bit Ultimate backed up with TI 2009 WITH NO BOOTABLE DISK

Thread needs solution

Knew that the hard disk and power supply were going down last week, I pulled out an old copy, Acronis TI2009 Home edition, loaded onto the computer - it offered me either updates or upgrades available and I did whatever (I didn't have to give credit card info so I imagine it updated since I'd never installed 2009 after purchase). After 'update' I backed up the Win7-64bit Ultimate to the updated version on a stand-alone hard drive. BEFORE I could get a bootable disk after this save, the computer and power supply crashed.

The new system is due here this a.m. - how do I go about restoring the hard drive (I have the original bootable media from TI 2009 AND I have a bootable disk from last week before I loaded TI 2009 - probably a Win7-64 bit backup). Do I download (upgrade version or new full version) TI 2011 BEFORE I start the restore on the new system?

Thank you in advance for helping me!

Roseann,

If you have your ATI 2009 license number, you can go to the Acronis web site, register your license number when you open your account, and you can download an ISO image to create a bootable recovery disk.

If you cannot do that, then you can download the trial of 2011 on another computer, create a recovery CD with that and restore your image.

You should make sure that you validate the image you made. That way you know its good before trying to restore.
