Question on use of Acronis True Image Home 2010
I have a Dell M1730 notebook setup as follows
1) Samsung SSD 64 gb - 1 partition with Vista 32 bit Home Premium installled. The system boot files also reside on this partition.
2) Seagate Momentus 200 gb - 1 partition with Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium installed- size 48 gb
- 2nd partiiton with data and backups - size 152 gb
My system currently works fine with a dual boot setup for Vista and Win 7. I would like to trash Vista and move my Win 7 installation from the Seagate drive to the Samsung SSD. Can I use Acronis True Image 2010 Home to accomplish this? I have a Windows image backup of both the Vista and Windows 7 partitions that is on the backup parition. Should I use that image backup to restore from or can I clone an active Win 7 partition over the Vista partition. Since my boot files will get wiped out, I assume I will have to use the Win 7 install DVD to repair the boot startup files ?? I will be executing this from the win 7 partition or will I need to boot TI from a DVD if I want to clone Win7 on top of Vista ??
Any advice would be appreciated :)
