Acronis True Image 2009 HDD full backup restore to new SSD

Thread needs solution

I have an old XP laptop for which I have a full disk system backup made with Acronis True Image 2009 and saved on external HDD. The laptop HDD has failed, so I would like to buy an SSD (Samsung EVO) and restore backup to SSD.

I have an Acronis boot CD, so can run Acronis from CD. How do I save system image to new SSD? What preparations do I need to make for SSD before doing restore?

Many thanks for your help and advice.

The question might become whether your 2009 can see the new Samsung.

My suggestion would be to sign up for the 2014 trial version and you must register the provided serial number.
Once you have the 64 character serial registered, you can then visit your persoanl Aconis web account and
DOWNLOAD ONLY THE ISO FILE. The iso file can be burnt to a CD and create a new Acronis boot disk (version 2014) which it would have a better chance of seeing your Samsung.

Use the new 2014 trial CD to recovery your 2009 full backup and hope for the best. This CD has no other optiions enabled so its only purpose is special purpose restore CD.

Review link 3 below and look at item 1 and 2 inside that link. You try 2 first, otherwise 1 shoud work.
You will need to use the CD Tools/Add new disk routine and also choose the "REcover disk signature" as illustrated in both guides.

The iso downloaded file will need to be burnt to CD as an image. If a Win7 system is available, you can right click on the iso file and choose the "open with" option and open with Windows Disk Image Burner.

If using XP, it may be easier to download the free "ImgBurn" from the web.
