Restoring to a multi-partition disk

Thread needs solution

Original hard disk is a 120Gb SATA, and has one partition containing Windows XP. I want to transfer/copy/clone this working partition onto a bigger SATA disk which is already partitioned. There are in fact 3 partitions on this disk, with the second partition being 300Gb and currently unformatted.

Will Acronis True Image v11 do this job? Or do I need some other application?

I am aware that having done this I will need to adjust the BOOT.INI to reflect the different partition number.

Hello Roger,

Let me answer your question.

With Acronis True Image 11 Home you can back up your Windows XP partition and then restore it to another partition on the different hard drive. But as you've mentioned you'll need to modify boot.ini file.

Please let me know if you need any assistance, I'll be glad to help.

Thank you.
