I have an old 1TB (slow) WD drive with following four partitions (with Win 7 64bit installed as Operating System):
1. System Recovery
2. System
3. Drive C
4. Drive D
[5 MBR ]

On an external eSata drive, I have created one image file for the drive and it includes all four partitions in one file.

Before I restore this image to my new 2TB Drive, do I need to create all the above partitions or will Acronis 2012 will do that propotionately automatically?

Do I need to make sure I click on any options before restoring the drive?

Thanks in advance.

Print yourself a snapshot of the Windows Disk Management graphical view so you know
exactly which partition is first; 2nd, etc.
which is the active partition
and the sizes and used space of each partition.

I would suggest you look at one of my guides. Click on the first line of my signature below and locate index item 3-BB. Look at the Compaq example. As your partitions do not all have names, you will have to use their sizes and used space for identification. Do NOT use drive letters as they may be displayed differently in the Linux CD.

Option 1:
Boot from the TI Bootable Media Recover CD and use the restore procedure as shown in the guide. Target disk installed in place of the original.
Option 2:
An alternate method to the guide would be to select and restore each partition before installing the next partition.
a. select and resize (if necessary) and restore the first partition;
b. and then without rebooting, select and resize (if necessary) restore the 2nd one and do the restore;
c. and then without rebooting, select and resize (if necessary) restore the 3rd
d. and then without rebooting, select and reszie (if necessary) and restore the 4th.
e. Without rebooting, restore mbr and Recover Disk Signature.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3: Disk Restore
Another alternative would be to checkmark the disk as to what is to be restored and TrueImage would do the resize of partitions. The problem with this method is you have no control over the partition sizes. You could attempt this method and when you get to the last summary screen where you choose either to Proceed or Cancel. You could look at the sizes being assigned to the partitions and choose the cancel option if the TrueImage sizes are not acceptable.
-------------------------------
Read the guide and get a feel for what is needed. If TrueImage makes the wrong choice for the active partitions, be prepared to change it to the one you know is the correct one--as per our printout.

Remember it is only practice until you click the proceed button. Once you click the proceed, it is too late for cancel so be careful of your choices.

After the restore, shutdown and reboot with only the new disk attached.
