Help Recovering Backup
I have Acronis True Image 2010 and diligently backed up my hard drive to an external USB drive. Now I need to recover the backup but I am not finding the process as easy as it says on the box "restore your entire PC within minutes with just a few simple clicks". It's asking me all these questions I don't understand even after reading the help file. It seems to want to make a new partition and looked like it was going to default write over the external USB drive so I didn't proceed. Then it wanted to write to D: but surely the destination needs to be C:
C: is grayed out
Is there an easy You Tube tutorial or something covering recovery process for this version?

Thanks Steve, I have Windows 7 and have used both the boot disk supplied with the software as well as my own rescue boot disk I made.
I watched some videos and what I'm not sure of is how to recover over the C: drive as that is grayed out in my case?

Michael, due to the age of ATIH 2010 I can only direct you to the user guide for this product which has detailed information on performing a number of different recovery scenarios - all in Chapter 10 of the user guide.
See http://www.acronis.com/en-gb/download/docs/atih2010/userguide/
If you are still having problems then please try to capture some screen images of the steps you are following (using your phone or a digital camera) and post these to the forum (reduce the image size using a tool such as IrfanView to make it easier to upload, especially if you have a HD camera/phone).
