Using Acronis TI recovery CD

Thread needs solution

Info: Windows XP Home, TI Home build 9796, Dell Dimension 3000

I want to replace my primary 80GB hard drive with a 320GB drive. I have cloned my primary drive using a USB external drive. I also created an Acronis Recovery CD. Since I have never done this before I am at a loss as to what particular actions I have to take once I have disconnected my primary drive and connected the new 320GB drive. Specifically, just how am I going to go about getting  the operating system, programs, and data from the USB drive onto this new drive?

Thanks,

Hello Roger,

Thank you for using [[http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ | Acronis True Image]]

You should boot the system under Acronis Bootable Rescue Media. After that choose the Restore Wizard and follow the step-by-step guide. You can learn more on how to perform the recovery in User Guide for Acronis True Image Home 2009 available here, chapter 6.3.

Thank you.
