Recover on Windows XP with 500GB SATA Drive
Hello,
Please help, I am having issues recovering the Backup Image that I just created using a 500GB SATA Hard Drive.
I did an Image backup of the entire SATA HD (250GB). The 250GB SATA HDD is having issues so I am planning to replace it with bigger SATA HDD (500GB). I am successful with the backup of the image but I am having issues with recovering it. The Acronis 2013 doesn't recognize the HDD, it's not showing up in the option where to recover the image. I went looking in the BIOS, and the BIOS can recognized it, but Acronis doesn't. I tried using the Acronis 2016 but it is not working either, there is a warning about PAE Disabled.
Please help,
Thank you very much,

Hello Steve,
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. It worked! Did the full image backup first of the original 250GB HDD, then removed it and installed the new 500GB HDD. Using the ATI 2013 I added a new disk and formatted as an MBR. Since the original one is in MBR Format. Recovery went well. Thank you very much again. I tried that to different machine too with Windows XP but has an HDD Adaptor (IDE to SATA). Since IDE is not available anymore and we only have SATA. It worked also on the set up.
Thank you very much,
