Restoring without restoring windows
Hi,
I've been reading up on the tutorials and I'm getting most of it, except for the part with the drivers. This seems rather tricky to me (restoring to dissimilar hardware, complete new pc, ...)
So I was wondering, what if I use my rescue media I made with windows itself to boot up my pc and install my OS. (or on a new pc, I install my windows copy of the same version).
That way I can load up all required drivers (from CD's or vendor's website).
Basicly this means my PC would be up and running now.
So now I can use my ATI rescue media to boot up and restore my backup (with universal restore from pluspack)
But if I make a full drive backup (so everything, no partition selection), can I do it without restoring windows or would you recommend to just put everything back? (meaning I would just get windows first to get the drivers installed and than replace it with the windows of the backup?)
Or how should I get the drivers on my PC with only acronis rescue media, a completely new custom made pc (without windows [so probably also without drivers right?] and a hard drive with my backup image? Because this option would be way easier, it just that I don't get the drivers part (which I can put on a usb-stick or on the external hard drive with the ati image).
Thanx for your time and help,
JM
