I have Acronis' T.I. Home 2010 & a bootable rescue media made on Jan. 9th 2012.

I presently have my backups stored on a USB WD 1.5TB external drive.

Backups & rescue media were made from another computer (comp. 'A') running WinXP Pro.
What I want to do is to take the back ups off of the USB drive and put them on an internal drive in computer 'B'.
Comp 'B' is also running WinXP Pro. But does Not have Acronis installed on it.

What is the easiest/best way to go about this??
Should I just install T.I. then down load the backup, OR..........
Do I need to format the drive in comp 'B' first > install T.I. > then Backup ???

Thank You!

It does not matter which computer was used to make the bootable media CD.
Acronis does not need to be installed to use the media.

The bootable media can be used to restore any TI backup to its original computer which originated the backup.

What matters is the internal target disk. Are you restoring the backup to the same original computer. If the answer is no, then you will also need to have the Acronis plus pack in order to install to dis-similar hardware. If the answer is yes, you can restore to the internal disk and the disk does not need preparation and can be blank and unallocated. Legally, the software is intended only for the computer on which is was installed.

if the backup is being directed to a single partition on a disk with other partitions, then the target space should be pre-partitioned (format not needed) to its intended size which must be sufficient to hold the used space (plus more) of the backup file.

Thanks for your response GroverH!

Let me see if I got this straight. First, What is Acronis plus pack?
What if I hook up the ext. drive to comp. 'A' then take the HDD out of comp. 'B' and put it in comp. 'A' ?
Then boot from rescue disk and follow dialog boxes to recover from ext. drive.......correct ?

Now IF that works, Would I then have two WinXp pro's installed on the int. drive from comp. 'B' or will it overwrite ?

The next question would be, When I recover from a backup, will the org. backup still be there (i.e. copy) or will it be removed from the drive ?

Ultimately, when all is said and done, I would like to have one computer (comp. 'B') running XP Pro., single HDD, no partitions, BKup ext. drive, T.I. 2010, And most of the other crap I have on comp. 'A'.
Then........Comp. 'A' will be running Win 7 x64, 2 int. drives, partitioned, and a backup that will be able to be hot swapped.

Thanks again!

Forget about computer A as it does not need to be involved.

If Computer B is to have XP Pro, then put the target disk into Computer B in its intended boot partition. Target disk is the only disk needed in computer B.

If backup is stored inside external disk as a *.tib file, then attach the external as a usb to computer B.

Insert the bootable media CD into computer B and boot into Acronis TrueImage.

Using the bootable media CD, the first step will be to use the "Add disk" option found in the utilities menu.
This function will be used to clean the existing partitions off the target disk. Use the delete partitions opiton. We want the target disk to be blank or unallocated with no partitions to receive the restore.

To begin the Recovery or the Restore

Choose Recovery and use the TrueImage program to browse the external for the specific *.tib backup file. Select the backup file to be restored.

When selecting "what to recover", checkmark the disk box to be restored.
as shown in this example
http://forum.acronis.com/sites/default/files/mvp/user285/guides/disk-re…
When selecting the target disk, be sure and choose the correct disk (blank disk) as the target.
http://forum.acronis.com/sites/default/files/mvp/user285/guides/disk-re…
This example is just that. Do NOT choose "recover disk signature" if your computer had dual boots at the time of backup creation. Only choose "recover disk signature" if the computer was the same then as it will be after the backup.

Upon a successful conclusion,
Remove the CD and shutdown.
Disconnect the external
Reboot with only the new disk attached.
Computer should boot if the backup contained all your boot files--which it should.
