Hello! I own Acronis True Image Home 11.0 on Windows XP and want to migrate from my hard-disc to a solid-state-disc. Which means:

Backup my hard-disc (only hard-disc in system, 160 GB, 90 GB used, with boot-partition)
Replace the hard-disc with the solid-state-disc (128 GB)
Restore the data to the solid-state-disc, so that the computer will boot from it.

The other hardware will not change. What do I need for that?
Is Acronis True Image Home 11.0 enough?
Do I need to upgrade to Acronis True Image Home 2010?
Do I need to buy the "Plus Pack" of Acronis True Image Home 2010 to do the migration?

Hi Werner

ATI 2010
Plus pack only if you need to migrate from one system to another.

Thanks for your reply!

Is it possible to store the whole system on an external USB-harddisc? Will the USB-harddisc be recognized by the ATI 2010-Bootdisc?

Uh, the plus-pack can migrate a Win XP from one hardware to another? I don't need it at this time, but it might be very usefull to know that.

Hello Werner,

Let me assist you.

You can store images created in Acronis True Image on almost any PC storage device: local hard drives, network drives or a variety of IDE, SCSI, FireWire (IEEE-1394), USB and PC card (formerly called PCMCIA) removable media drives, including CD-R(RW), DVD+R(W), DVD-RW, magneto-optical, Iomega Zip and Jaz drives.

And all above locations will be available from the bootable media.

I may suggest you to download a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2010 in order to check how it works on your computer. The functional limitation of Acronis True Image trial version is that you can only restore and validate an image when you run the program from the bootable media. Windows version is functional for 15 days only and it does not have any more limitations.

Please reply to this thread if you have any additional questions.

bin, thanks for you help.

Thanks for your reply, very good service here.

I want to know as well what the "Plus Pack" does exactly. Is it possible with that for example to migrate a Windows XP from a notebook from one old notebook to a new one with complete different hardware without re-installing the whole applications and keeping the windows-settings and so on?

There could be a little more to it. Your new SSD might use a different drive offset than your old HDD. If you simply clone or restore your HDD image to the SSD the performance of the SSD could be noticeably impaired. ATI currently does not have a way to correct this problem (details here: http://kb.acronis.com/content/2699 ). Here is a thread that talks about it some http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3823#comment-4877 .

@bin, Dogma: Thanks anyway - very helpfull information.

Hm, I still think about waiting to buy an SSD - I find the technologie very attractive, but it seems a) to expensive in money and b) to expensive in time you have to invest to get a running system.

I recently got an Intel SSD. I did a fresh install on it since I was moving from XP to Win7. I got an 80GB with the intention of putting the OS and programs on the SSD, and data on a traditional HD. Although it's hard to compare directly since the two OS are different, I will say that the SSD is MUCH faster. Boot time is about half of what it was (could be the OS), but time to load programs is what I really notice. Things like Photoshop that used to take 20 seconds to load fully are now ready to go in about 4 seconds. FWIW, I did the full Windows install on the SSD (from initial CD insertion to fully running after reboot) in six and half minutes. It's quick!

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Puh, that sounds really greate.

My "problem" is that I need a small notebook computer - so I can only install one disc. I now have a HD with 160 GB which is almost full, so I would need a 256 GB SDD, which is just still very expensive (it costs more then a new notebook...). Or I have to get rid of some of my data (and they say you should leave 20% of the SDD free), so for a 80 GB SDD I could use just 64 GB. And I still don't know if I want to migrate to Win 7 - Vista was a desaster and Win XP just works for years now ;-) But with XP, you have to do a lot of tweaks to get a SDD running long and efficient... So I still don't know what to do.

I can see how the laptop would be a limitation. Did you see these that are just coming out? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2364129,00.asp Supposed to be a hybrid with most of the benefits of SSD, but without the prohibitive cost and limited capacity.

The next thing will be a hybrid car with hybrid SSSSDDDD and hybrid lives included at discount.

Some good info above from all, I shall hopefully be in the market for a new desktop and may be a netbook soon, so I am interested in the latest developments.

The reason SSD's are quick are mainly due to no mechanical things (obvious) and the recent way in which they deal with fragmentation - which is soon to be a thing of the past it appears - to techy to go into for my fingers. Long live keyboards though!
