2 disks, recover to 'other'
True Image 2011:
I have 3 hard disks in this system, 1 is only data. 1 is a windows disk (w7 32-bit) and the 3rd is w7 64 bit.
I have backups of the two system drives on an external (eSATA) disk.
The trouble is: w7-64 has crashed (no surprise) and I would like to recover it. I can only run w7-32 bit O/S and as it boots, the drive letters are all shuffled around (not a problem for me because I can identify them - they are named for that reason). But it is a problem for Acronis (I think) because if I click recover (on the image for w7-64) it is going to recover it right over w7-32.
Not the end of the world, but certainly the end for that installation.
Perhaps I could have planned this better, like having a version of windows bootable on the external drive. That way I could plug in the target hard drive on the internal SATA and it would be identified as C: and D: as it was when I backed up.
DO I need to do something like that - or can I force recovery to different drive letter/paths than the backup as it was done?
Clear as mud?

thanks Pat. I knew there was something I forgot (making bootable media).
