TI 2010 and Windows 7 x64
Has anyone been able to successfully CLONE their drive using TI 2010 and Windows 7, the 64-bit version.
I plan to upgrade to Win 7 the weekend after it comes out and want to make sure that I can this combination already works. I know that Acronis is advertising this software as "Win 7" compatible, but I would rather hear from real users to confirm.
I have this combo (win7 64 bit and TI 2010) and cloned a drive and got the error:
win7 0xc000000e required device is inaccessible
When I put the cloned drive in another computer (with basically the same hardware).
I think this has something to do with it:

And there are at least 3 threads here dealing with this problem, all require some complex workaround.
Im going to try making a bootable disc as suggested and see what happens, I just cloned it then removed from the old system and put in the new.

The stop error is produced by Windows because a required hardware device is missing. The reason that you're getting this error is that "basically the same hardware" isn't good enough. You cannot normally expect a Windows installation from one set of hardware to work on a different set of hardware.
The article that you linked to has nothing to do with the stop error. Plus, it's riddled with errors. The article says that the Windows 7 boot partition is 200 MB; it isn't. It's 100 MB. It also says that the partition contains the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). It does not. WinRE is contained in the Windows 7 partition. I got about that far in the article and stopped reading. The rest is probably just as inaccurate.
If you had problems with the boot partition you would not have been able to boot Windows at all. The fact that you get far enough to get a stop error is proof that the low-level boot process is working. This isn't your issue - you have a missing device or device driver caused by dissimilar hardware. To overcome this issue with an imaging product like TI normally requires what's called a "Universal Restore" option (included in the Plus Pack).
Hummm .... Same motherboard, cpu and 8G of ram. Same nividia 9600 video card (and nivida drivers are universal). Only difference could be the drives, one is hitachi and the other maxtor. Maybe one computer has a CDRom and the other dosnt, Ill check that also.
Well let me check out the plus pack and see whats up.
Ok Im going to buy the plus pack; hopefully that will set things stright.
Sam:
Are both disks IDE or both SATA? Do they both run in IDE mode or in AHCI mode? If there are differences in the settings between the two PCs then that could be the reason for the stop error. Also, if that's the reason, it's relatively simple to fix.
