Hi all. I need a help.

I have ATIH Plus Pack. I 2 computers. First of them have IDE HDD, second SATA HDD.In first computer installed windows xp sp3. From first computer, which have IDE HDD, i have made backup, and now i want to restore it in my second computer, which have SATA HDD. In process or restore to sata hdd, i check box "Use Acornis Universal Restore", and i know, that if we use universal restore to restore from ide to sata hdd, we need choose path of sata drivers and controllers. But i dont know how to do it. I dont know how drivers whill be in folder, which file need to choose, or how?

Now, i want, that someone can show me structure of folers of drivers with screenshot . That will be very big help for me, becouse it very imporant for me.

How you understand my question.

Thanks you.
Best Regards : Felo

Before you even begin, you will need to know what brand and model of SATA controller you are running on the target system, and whether it is running in AHCI mode or not. Once you gather that information, we will be able to help. I usually place a folder on the same drive as my backup files with the appropriate drivers in it, and have Acronis look in that folder for driver files when using Acronis Universal Restore.

My SATA Drive brand was WDC. For example i have correct driver. But i dont know it work AHCI, or IDE. I tryed to change it from BIOS, but i can get this setion to change it.
