I just got the WD edition of ATI with my new Had Drive and can not copy/clone my existing drive to the new one the way I expected with this tool.
I am trying to understand if the full Home edition of ATI 2011 will let me do what I need, since I got a link with my version of ATI from Acronis, advertising it at a discount for me to buy.
Unfortunately Acronis must be too successful to let folks like me get a phone number to call and ask. So I'm hoping I can get input here.
My existing hard drive is full and I need to create a new, bootable replacement disk with more capacity. Old drive is 40 GB, new drive is 160GB.
My OS is XP Professional, SP3.
My existing disk (formatted years ago by a friend) has 3 partions: C: NTFS (Primary), D: NTFS (Logical), E: FAT 32 (Logical), plus some 2GB of unallocated space (no explanation). D: and E: are in one extended partition. There also are strange gaps between some partitions?? No idea why.
On the new drive I want again 3 partitions, larger in size, all primary and all NTFS.
What I want to do is to clone the C: and D: partitions to the new drive as is, except larger in size. The E: partition has only data and I want to copy it to a new NTFS partition on the new drive. So here I want to go from FAT 32 to NTFS.
Limitations found on the WD version of ATI:
1) The "Add New Disk" function only lets you create new partitions. No other functions. No copying or cloning. Thinking this is the first step to do, I successfully created my new partitions the way I want them.
2) The "Clone Disk" function surprised me because it completely ignored what I just did in step 1 and the only option is to erase everything again and start over.
EXCEPT!! now it faithfully wants to preserve the silly gaps of the old drive, wasting lots of disk space, will NOT allow me to change the FAT 32 into an NTFS partition and it will NOT allow changing the Drive Letters (I am under the perception that I need to maintain the Drive letter (C:, D:, E:) to get a bootable new disk. It instead assigns G,H,I.
btw, all above was done in Manual Mode, not automatic.
After repeated calls to WD support, I finally learned this is not the tool I can use.
Now I am wondering if the advertised full edition of ATI Home 2011 will let me do what I need?
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
Thanks.

Make a backup image of your current drive to another hard drive or external drive. Restore this image to your new drive. See http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3426 sections AA, BB,CC etc.
