Yes. This shouldn't be a problem going form one sata drive to another--the diffs are handled by the hardware drivers of the restore program. However, older versions of ATI might not have enough drivers to handle the newer drives. In that case, you'll neeed a newer version. Time ruins all hardware.

A problem for you if you are trying to move a system disk image (rather than a data file image) to a different machine is that all the hardware will be different and the Windows setup in the image won't have the right drivers for the hardware on the new machine -- you will need to do a universal restore in that case, which allows you to add in the correct drivers, assuming you have them.

Thanks for the information and of course as you say I will have problems with my desktop booting into windows which is exactly what is happening.
