restore question

Thread needs solution

I may have messed up my ability to do an Acronis restore and have two questions that I am hoping someone can be kind enough to help me with.

1st - I have been doing full backups but I never created a restore disk. Will that prohibit me from doing the restore.

2nd - Dell just delivered my new hard drive but it already has the operating system installed on it. Provided that it is the correct one (last one wasn't), is a restore even possible? If it is possible, should I do a backup (and create restore disks) before trying?

Thanks for answering my questions in advance.

Create the restore disk immediately. If you don't create it and test it it may well prevent you from performing a restore when needed. You can try the restore from within windows but you will in all likely hood need the restore disk. What if you can't boot from your hard drive? See Grover's Index for lots of help and guidance http://forum.acronis.com/forum/3426.
Yes it is possible to restore your new hard drive. See Grover's guide section 7.
