Cant restore to sata drive
Hi, Is there anyway ATI 11 (8053) can restore to a SATA drive that has replaced an IDE drive of the same size. The motherboard has been changed also to a known good one. Ive gone from an ide drive to a sata along with a new mobo. The bios recognizes the new hard drive, but acronis does not. The backup was made with the boot cd from the ide drive and I am attempting to restore to the sata from the boot cd. The backup image was made to a usb hard drive and acronis can see the image when trying to restore, but it appears the sata drive doesnt exist. I fear ATI cannot restore in this instance because it has no drivers for the sata drive? Please help.
I have the old ide hard drive which works ok, can I connect the old drive to the new mobo ide connector and then clone it to the new sata drive, or would I have the same problems? Yes Ive read the kb article that says there are no problems doing that but then it als says you can restore to sata from ide also?
Thanks
Hi, and thanks for the response. The version of ATI is 11, but i have legit registered versions of 9, 10,11, 2010 with plus pack and 2012 with plus pack. You can see I have several pcs. but i dont have ati2011. Just to be sure we on the same page, my issue is restoring to the sata, backing up to an external usb hard drive is no problem , and the usb drive and backup file is visible when I try to restore, the sata hard drive is the one missing.
I know that I had possible problems with going from ide to sata (even though there is a kb item stating different) and changing the motherboard at the same time, but i dont believe im the first or only one to do this? I must thank you again for your help as my possible problems could be from the hardware or software
Sorry but ive now got another question, will the 2012 boot disc work with ati version 11 backup files? if so i can easily try that? The 2012 boot disk was made on a win7 pc, will that matter if im playing with a xp pc
What I have done since posting is to refit the old motherboard, and ide drives. As the old motherboard has both ide and sata connectors im going to try and clone the sata from the ide, and then see if my new sata mobo plays ball with the now newly cloned sata drive. I know I will have an issue with mobo drivers, and to a much lesser extent video and sound, but im comfortable addressing that. Does this procedure stand a chance.
Thanks again

Yes.

Absolutely

You can use the CD on any machine. It has been produced independently on the machine.

When you use the bootable CD, you can restore the data with the SATA drivers in the image or inserted with UR, while the disk is in IDE mode. Just switch the controlled back to SATA before you boot! As long as the CD detects the drives, whether in IDE or SATA, backing up or restoring will work, as long as you do everything from the recovery CD.
IF the recovery CDs' don't detect the drives, either in IDE or SATA drive, you will have to try a BartPE-based disk (if you have XP) or a WinpPE disk (If you have VIsta or Win7).
It doesn't matter on what pc an ati bootcd is made-- it's the same content no matter what. If you don't want to install ati2012, you can log into acronis.com, go to updates and download an iso to burn to disk to make a bootcd.
When you backup formwithin windoes, ati uses windows drivers under windows. when you rstore, it boot into linux, either on the pc or from the bootcd and uses the frives acronis has provided for linux. So you can back up the sata with ati11 if it operates under your os but for restore you need something newer (ati2012) for newer sata drives and w7.

Hi and thanks for your help. I have a registered (activated) copy of 2012 on a win7 pc. If i download the iso and make a boot cd, will it work on my other xp pc, or is there some sort of "activation" thingy stopping this. I take it the iso has more "features" than the boot cd i made when I installed 2012?
There is no activation with the CD. The downloaded ISO is at best a more recent version of what your installed 2012 creates, most likely the same.
Sometime the downloadable iso uses a diff loader and has diff drivers -- the ati program itself will be the same as what's produced with the latest verrsion of ati.
Well, its fixed. I downloaded a iso of version 12, which is the copy installed on a win 7 pc of mine, and this cd was able to see my new sata drives, and i managed to restore easily. I am really surprised at the speed at which it restored from the cd rescue disc (the backup was on a usb hard drive) I think the backup made with the version 11 rescue disc took about 3 hours, whereas the restore with the v2012 dvd took about 45 mins?
The only hassle turned out to be big brother not wanting to reactivate xp, because I changed so much, but thats fixed also.
A big thank you to Pat and Scott for their assistance. Incidently whats the ramifications of using the 2012 rescue disc on a different pc than the program is activated on. Dont hit I hate blood, especially mine.
You should have a license for each machine on which you use the ati program. Some folks use the bootcd and never use the install under windows. The install program requires activation, the bootcd does not.
