Is a Bootable Media disk exclusive to the machine on which it was created?
Is a Bootable Media disk exclusive to the machine on which it was created?
I backed up Machine 1 and created a bootable media? I then replaced the HDD with a new one and successfully used the Bootable Media disk to restore to that drive.
I then backed up Machine 2, an entirely different machine (different hardware, OS etc.) . Then I tried to use the disk created on Machine 1 to restore Machine 2. No success!
Hence the question.
Thanks!

Thank you Ekaterina for your reply.
That would probably explain what we were seeing. I had loaned the "Machine 1" disk to a coworker trying to restore "Machine 2". It is a Win XP machine and following the restore it will not boot correctly. It makes it to the XP splash screen then shuts down.
Being new to Acronis we are learning as we go. Thanks for your help!
Best Regards!
