Help with standalone version of True Image 2010 -- shutdown and boot

Thread needs solution

Hi, all!
I am a newbie andI did the following:
1. Used a USB disk to create a bootable media with True Image 2010 Plus Pack.
2. Used the bootable media to back up the operating system (windows 7 ultimate) of one PC (PC 1).
3. Used the bootable meaid to restore the image to another PC (PC 2) through Acronis Universal Restore.
4. Failed to enter BIOS in time. Therefore, PC 2 booted with the bootable media again.
5. Shutdown PC 2 by clicking the option provided by the start page of the bootable media.
6. Pressed the power button of PC 2 and changed it to boot from the hard disk. Then, PC 2 booted into the operating system and installed drivers.

Everything seemed okay so far.

In steps 4 and 5, are there any problems?
Or are there any differences between doing so and booting into the hard disk successfully immediately after the recover on PC 2 is complete?

Thanks!

That shouldn't matter at all. What should matter is that you resotred to a diff machine andt he hardware might not use the same drivers. Did you reboot and see if the machine worked okay?

Also, instead of entering the BIOS you could have just removed the bootable media -- assuming, of course that your BIOS is set as most are to try booting from the optical dirve first and the hard drive second.

Also, if you have a single-user license, you might have violated the ATI license by using it on two machines.

Yes, the OS works perfectly.
I used Acronis Universal Restore, which is intended to damp images created from one PC to different hardware. This is the basic function of Acronis Universal Restore.
I used the standalone version. I did not install ATI on both PCs.
