Acronis True Image Home Universal Recovery
I purchased Acronis True Image Home 2010 and bought the plus pack to go along with it. Ive been testing the software trying to learn its features. I am very interested in the Universal restore function.
I built a Windows XP Image onto a Dell Optiplex 745 and backed it up to a USB drive using the Acronis bootable media. I then took a Dell Latitude D630 and booted to the Acronis bootable media and ran a recover. I selected the .TIB file from my USB hard disk and chose universal restore. I had previously downloaded and extracted all the drivers for the D630 onto the same USB hard disk that the 745 backup was created on. I selected the Path for the extracted drivers. At this point I have tried several different configurations trying to get the system to boot. I tried selecting the primary partition and the MBR and track 0, I also tried this config with and with out recovering the disk signature. I tried selecting only the Primary Partition. In all cases the recovery runs with no errors and I reboot the machine. I get the windows loading screen and then I get the old BSOD and a boot loop. When I hit F8 and tell the machine not to reboot on sys fail the error is a no accessible boot device. I talked with a friend of mine and he told me the Dell Storage drivers are like pulling teeth to find the right one. Any suggestions?? Am I missing something else?? Thanks in advance.
