Can I use ATI Version 11 for Windows 7?

Thread needs solution

I am using Acronis Trueimage version 11, build 8101.

Can this install and run on Windows 7 and create images?

And then can my VistaPE + BartePE plugin boot CD resore the Windiws 7 image?

Thank you.

I wouldn't do it. It is not supposed to work and you might mess up your system. You should upgrade to 2012, or you don't install ATI and use the recovery CD only for backups and restores.

I created a VistaPE boot CD with the ATI version 10 BartPE Plugin.

So if I boot the CD to back and restore, it will work ok? It doesn't matter then if it's Vista or W7 on the hard drive, the boot CD just backs up and restores data right?

As long as ATI on the recovery CD can see the disks to backup and backup to, you should be fine. For example, if some disk is a basic and MBR disk, you should see. If a disk is dynamic or GPT. you won't see it.
If the recovery CD see your disks correctly (for example, if you have RAID, it sees it as a single volume), then do a backup. If the backup completes, validate the backup. Then try to restore some files from the backup or mount the image from the CD to inspect it visually.

Not quite so. You might find that you have some alignment issues with the MBR/Track O using ati11 on W7.

I'd use a version that supports w7.

ati2012 is the version of trueimage home that Acronis now offers on its website--it is the current version. It was preceded by these versions:

ati6
ati7
ati8
ati9
ati10
ati11
ati2009
ati2010
ati2011

I have the Seagate GoFlex 3TB drive formatted as GPT. WinEXP-Pro sees the drive just fine.

However, when I go to use it on my wife's new WIN7 PC by booting with the Acronis 11 (TrueImage11.8101_s_en) boot CD, it displays the pictured drive. Really? 16TB? Houston, we have a problem.

First of all, will drives over 2TB work in Acronis? If so, what version?

Will Acronis 11 support GPT drives? If not, what version will?

Do I need to create a new Acronis boot CD to work with Win7 and my 3TB GPT drive? Software version required?

Thanks.

Are you taling about ati 11 or ati2011? One was produced in 2011, the other in 2008.

Does this help?

Acronis True Image 11 Home (English)
TrueImage11.8101_s_en

iirc, the older versions didn't support drives that large. The current version is ati2012, which Acronis says will support GPT but yu need the Plus Pack if you want support for Dynamic disks.

Thank you for that. I had a feeling I might be headed for an upgrade to Acronis True Image Home 2012.

ati11 was not designed to work with w7, I think you have to move forward at least to ati 2009 or 2010 for that. But those earlier 20xx series versions had some issues with bootstrap alignment, which brings you to ati2011 or ati2012.
