Trying to Restore to a Replacement SSD

Thread needs solution

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.

Hello Mike,
as far as I understand you are speaking about your system disk.
If you are going to restore your system to the exact the same model of SDD and use it in the same environment, you don't need any additional drivers (no Acronis Universal Restore required).

Basically you just need to install your new SSD and then follow this instruction: http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/documentation/ATI2015/index.html#1…

Thank you,

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?
