I have found many some similar articles to what I'm trying to do, but none match exactly. If they're out there, sorry for the duplication - just point me in the right direction.

I have a hard drive going bad. I am running True Image Home 10.0. I have created a boot disk (which only works in Safe Mode - otherwise it doesn't see the hard drive). I have a backup image from a couple months ago stored in the Secure Zone. I would like to be able to restore this image to the new replacement drive.

I'm sure this is easier than what I've been seeing here, so please advise...

The secure zone backup is fairly useless if it is on the same physical drive that you are replacing. When the drive fails the SZ partition is also dead.

If you have a spare hard drive, make a TI image backup to it. Don't make a SZ partition to store it in. Now remove the old dying drive, install a new drive in its place, boot from the TI boot disk, restore the image that is on the spare drive to the new drive. Done.

If you don't have a spare hard drive (you should get one) you might be able to install a new drive in your computer with the old dying drive still installed. Boot the TI CD, restore the image from the dying drive to the NEW drive, shut down computer, remove old dying drive, move the new drive to the cable/jumpering that the dying one had, reboot from new drive, done (hopefully).

TI can be complicated but it doesn't have to be that way.

I have a spare drive, so the procedure you laid out should work fine.

However, once the restore is complete, will the Secure Zone be restored as well? I know it has its issues, but this computer is used in a public lab, so having the image invisible and password protected is a must to keep it viable as a restore option.

Was it included when you created your backup image? If not - no.

If it was included, you should have gotten a warning when you created the task since backing up the ASZ is not recommended.

It was not. Guess I should have thought of that before asking. :-)

But, if I am going to create an image to the spare drive, I should be able to make a backup of everything, correct? What I would like is a mirror of the original drive copied to its replacement.

Barring that, if I just restore, can I assume that the only way to get the SZ is to run TI and set it up manually as if running the software for the first time?

While I’ve never backed up or restored the ASZ, I have done full, multi-partition disk backups and restores.

Backup the entire disk, including the ASZ, to the spare and then restore everything to the new disk. AFAIK, you should then be good to go.

If not then the "sector by sector" method would probably do it. This would probably take a longer time.

Yeah, but if the OP was going to go that route, might as well just clone.

I have a question related to this.  I had a 120gb Western Digital HDD that is making noises, but still boots and works just fine on my Gateway laptop.  I cloned it to an external 300g USB drive.  Took out the old HDD, then installed a new 250gb HDD in the laptop, booted with the TI disk, then cloned the external drive to the new internal drive.  When I reboot, it will not boot.  Just goes to a blank screen.  I checked the jumper settings, and they're exactly the same.  Is there some other way I should clone this disk to get it to work?  TIA!

Hello all,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Kim Miller, this issue happened because you cloned from internal HDD to an external. Due to difference in geometry, such drive will not boot. The simplest solution here is to clone between the same interfaces (SATA - SATA), or create a backup instead of cloning, and then just restore it to your new drive attached internally.

Please keep in mind that full information about backup procedure is available in 6 chapter of User's Guide, which can be downloaded here.

Thank you.
