Tarik, sorry but I don't recognise the Universal Restore panels in your video so more information is needed here:

What version of Acronis True Image do you have  / was used to create the backup images of your older PC?

What type of PC is the older PC?  What BIOS boot mode does it use to boot into Windows?
What version of Windows OS is installed?

What type of PC is the new PC?  What BIOS boot mode does it use?  Did it come with a copy of Windows installed or as just bare metal?

The BIOS boot mode can be found from within Windows if you can get to the desktop.  You need to run the command: msinfo32 then look at the right side panel for BIOS mode - this will say UEFI for any modern PC system, but for older PC's may say either Legacy or give the make / name of the disk drive where Windows is installed.

The BIOS boot mode is important, as when attempting to migrate a backup to a new PC, you need to boot the new PC using the correct BIOS mode for that PC so that the backup is restored correctly, and if necessary, that a Legacy / MBR disk drive backup is migrated to UEFI / GPT for the new PC if it uses that boot method.

The restore should be performed using Acronis Rescue Media to boot the PC, not using the Acronis Universal Restore media.

Hello Steve thanks for your answer.

Actually I use Acronis backup 12.5 for my devices. I dont use true image. But for rescue my pc to new pc I used my friend acronis universal store usb disk. I dont know which version of this.

 

The older pc bios is IDE/AHCI and using IDE mode but new PC bios is AHCI/SATA .

Im trying to rescue Windows 7x64. I use licensed version of windows.

 

How can I use this universal restore or some prooperties like this, I have some old PC's like as I explain, I should rescue to new hardware.

Thanks for your interest

Tarik, sorry but I have no experience in using Acronis Backup 12.5 (or any version of same) and the AUR version you are using is not the same as the one created by ATI, so I can only suggest raising this issue in the Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 Forum which is the nearest I can find to your Backup 12.5 product.

Tarik,

I watched your YouTube video. AUR errors on IDE, SATA, and USB drivers.  Some of those reference a Wildcat controllers.  The only Wildcat in data storage that I am aware of are enterprise data storage products made by the company JMR.

I have no idea how you would source drivers for such devices nor would I have any idea if SATA drivers are available for such a device.

The errors you see are generated because the drivers you have provided are either incompatible with the hardware you have or a compatible driver cannot be found for the hardware.

Device drivers must be in an .inf format for any tool like AUR to add them to an image so if you have provided drivers on formats other than .inf they will not work.
