Trying to Restore to a Replacement SSD
My SSD failed and I received an exact replacement. I can't figure out how to use either the True Image 2015 or recovery disk to restore to the new disk.
I tried to create a recovery disk but it wouldn't work. I didn't load drivers from an existing machine so it couldn't find them. I tried using the Linux image and it failed. The WinPE environment was confusing to use and I wasn't sure what drivers to copy and where for either image.
I loaded Win7 onto the new disk as well as True Image 2015 but I couldn't get that to work. It wouldn't offer me the new C drive as the destination.
How can I do this without going crazy. I'm not a newbie but I found your directions very confusing.

Mike,
Check out my signature link item #3 below. Inside that link, item 2 illustrates a "disk option restore. The guide is for 2014 but the 2015 CD is very close to the same.
What type backup do you have? Is it a "entire pc" backup which is a full disk image backup,
or is your a partition image backup which is a backup of mullitiple partitions?
If a partition image backup, does your backup include ALL partitons including any hidden or non-lettered partitions?
