Dell recovery after using Acronis Universal Boot

Thread needs solution

Installed old system backup (windows 7 x 64 ultimate Dell xps 630i) onto new Dell xps8700 windows 7 x64 pro. Everything seemed to go good until it rebooted at which time the computer went into Dell recovery and put the original Dell system back on.
Ideas?

Not sure there is a work around for this one.

It appears to be a embedded security issue. Specifically because the source OS, though licensed it may be, was recognized by Dell as a different OEM installation, and moved to reset back to the OEM version on the new lap top. This type of security helps to prevent replication of the OS to unauthorized systems; though it does hit the legitimate users as well... :(

The driver in question is for USB 3.0. Tired everyway I could find to inject it, extract it etc. After 3 days I just hit ignore all, ignore didn't seem to do anything at all. It completed in due time and everything worked as it should with the exception of the drivers that had to be replaced.
Also, remove anything to do with dell programs so Dell recovery won't kick in.
