Problems with using True Image 2009

Thread needs solution

I am basically pretty new at this, so if I sound stupid you have my permission to blast me, but at least tell me what I am doing wrong?

My situation:
I installed acronis true image 2009.
Wanted to move my OS etc onto a backup then move it on to another drive.

First drive was an 80 gb WD IDE.
Drive I want to move to is the 640 gb WD caviar black sata.
I am running windows xp pro.

After I backed up using the software. I just restored it onto the 640 gb HD. I ran Acronis on 2nday computer I had and I used two external drives.

No problems until I tried to use the computer.

Constant blue screen of death errors after 10 mins into usage.

I tried restoring it basically to a 74 gig partition with the MBR onto the drive.
Didn't restore MBR and created a 640 gig partition.

Still blue screening.
Windows error is telling me it has something to do with a driver error. It told me 3 solutions:

Check for a windows update. Did. Nothing
Check for a bio updates: No bios update for my MOBO lol
Check Disc Utility: Which I am doing and did do: Didn't work out.

I'm pretty new to this, so there's alot I just don't know. Feel free to educate.

Thank you for time.

Hello Piratepanda09,

The thing is that you have restored an image to a dissimilar hardware and this caused that BSODs.

In order to migrate (restore) the image to a different hardware you need to use a Universal Restore add-on that is a part of Acronis True Image 2010 Home Plus Pack. Note that in order to use Plus Pack you should have Acronis True Image 2010 Home installed.

Acronis Universal Restore is a module that allows changing Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL.dll) and install mass storage boot device drivers into the system.

It installs boot device drivers (e.g. hard drive or RAID controller drivers) into the system during the recovery process, so that the operating system can boot from this boot device. If there are proper NIC drivers present in the folder with the drivers, Acronis Universal Restore will copy them into the restored system and will schedule their installation on Windows boot-up.

Acronis Universal Restore is applicable for:

  • Instant recovery of a failed system on different hardware;
  • Migration to a machine with dissimilar hardware;
  • Real-to-virtual and virtual-to-real computer migration for system recovery, testing and other purposes.

You can purchase an upgrade to Acronis True Image 2010 Home and Plus Pack in our online store.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.

Regarding dissimilar hardware restore, does the source machine have to be running ATI2010 (with or without plus pack) or can the .tib be generated by earlier versions of ATI, e.g. 2009 or version 8? Thanks...
