I am trying to restore my tib backup to a different machine and the support tech provided me with the following KB article http://kb.acronis.com/content/4000

According to the KB:

"You have drivers for the hard disk drive controller or chipset drivers for the new computer. These drivers are critical for booting the operating system. You can download the drivers for your motherboard on the Vendor's web-site. Please note, if you downloaded the drivers in *.exe, *.cab, *.zip format, you should extract them first. The driver files should have *.inf, *.sys or *.oem extensions."

I have a dell workstation and the drivers are in exe, how would i be able to do the conversion???

Thanks!

Chances are, you run the executeable (.exe) and it will unzip/unarchive the files. It should ask you where you want to put the files. Just create a new directory and point the dialogue box to that new directory.
That is what HP's drivers do.
You're doing a universal restore so I recommend you burn those file to a CD/DVD. I also recomend they be burned at the root of the disk.....aka, no directories, unless there are directories.

Thanks
