Does Acronis Disk Director 11 Home play well with Acronis True Image 10 Home?

Do you mean TI 10 (4,942) or TI 2010? I assume TI 10.

I ran a quick test on this and it did let me create a CD with both programs selected. However, DD 11 failed to load from the CD. Since the DD 11 media builder takes over, it may still be using some of the old files or getting something mixed up.

Have you considered using a flash drive with Grub4DOS and booting the ISO files? This allows you to easily update each program as necessary while still using just one device.

No, but I will give it a try

I have a CD with TI 2010 and DD 11 that I created with Windows 7 (in the same machine), I am going to install in my Windows XP SP3, TI 10 (4,942) and then use the CD to run DD 11 do you think it will work? in others words a CD created in Windows 7 works with Windows XP SP3?

You may ask why I want to install TI 10 (4,942) if I have TI 2010 and TI 2011, well TI 2011 has still some bugs, TI 2010 is fine, the problem is with TI 2010 I can not backup my entire disk or I do not how, each time I install an OS, I make a partition of 10 GB of unallocated space ie:

My SATA HDD has a size of 149.1 GB or 152625 MB

152625 MB Disk 0 at id on atapi [MRB]
C: Partition1 [NTFS] 142384 MB < 142315 MB free >
Unpartitioned space 10240 MB

Using TI 2010 Wizard to backup my entire system and check sector by sector or something like this, in one step the wizard ask me which HD I want to backup, I can not select the HD and I have to cancell the operation
If I do not check the sector by sector the Wizard let me select the HD I want to backup, but my unallocated space is gone

I do not know what I am doing wrong if you have any idea plase help me

For this I have to install TI 10 (4,942) and backup my entire system, once I have the image, I will try again with TI 2010 or TI 2011 and I let you know where I am having problems creating the image
Thank you

There shouldn't be any problems using the DD CD created from Windows 7 on the XP system. The CD created by Media Builder should be the same regardless on the OS being used during its creation.

Why do you want to back up the unallocated space? In most cases, it's not necessary. For that matter, it's not usually necessary to do a sector-by-sector backup. Both of these options make the backup take much longer and the file much larger.

TI 10 doesn't normally include unallocated space. With TI 2010 and TI 2011, you can included unallocated space if you want to by selecting the appropriate checkbox:
