Recovered Image not Identical to Original
I am new to disk imaging. I downloaded the current trial version of True Image Home 2010. I have a laptop that I need to clone to another identical model laptop. I successfully created an image of the disk on an external drive and using the Acronis rescue cd (second laptop's drive was blank) loaded the image to the second laptop. Booted the new laptop and it came up perfectly. I then moved a USB Enet adapter and a PCMCIA card from the first laptop to the new laptop and rebooted. It had no problem reconizing the devices but when Widows XP Pro SP3 started I heard the startup music. I had the sound muted on the laptop that I imaged so that is the first oddity. Also my custom software requires that the wireless adapter and the Firewire be disabled. So they are disabled on the original laptop via Device Manager. So just checking various things on the cloned laptop the wireless was disabled but the Firewire was Enabled - how can this be? Thanks for any help.
