I am trying to make my two laptops identical. Laptop "S" (for source) is a Dell Laptitude with Windows 7. Laptop "D" (for desitnation) is a Dell Inspiron, used to have XP on old hard drive. I bought a new harddrive for laptop D. Clone the S image to the new hard drive via USB connector. Then I put the new hard drive on laptop D. When power on, it shows "Missing Operating System". Note I checked there is something on the new hard drive.

How to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dennis,

I understand the question and will do everything possible from my side to solve the issue.

The source of the issue is different hardware in two laptops. You should use Acronis Plus Pack (for home products) or Acronis Universal Restore (for corporate products) to solve the issue.

I have checked your account and see that you have Acronis True Image Home 2010 registered. I may recommend you to use our online store to purchase Plus Pack add-on.

Acronis Plus Pack is a separately purchased add-on that can be installed over Acronis True Image Home 2010.

Once the add-on is installed, Acronis True Image Home 2010 Plus Pack will have the following features:

Also check the following KB article which describes how to use Plus Pack to transfer the system to different hardware.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.

Hi,

I am lost in finding Acronis Plus Pack for Acronis True Image Home 2010. Can you provide the link for purchase? Do I get credit for already-bought Acronis True Image Home 2010?

Thanks.

"Missing operating system" means that either bios can't find MBR, or the MBR can't find the active partition, and OS doesn't even start to load. I'd rater fix it first.

Ok, got the Acronis Plus Pack installed in laptop S.
Again trying to make my two laptops identical.
However, I am lost in the instructions provided.
1. Can find teh WD2500BEVE driver. The only thing at WD website is Acronis's software and WD Diagnostic tool
2. Do I need to re-clone the hard drive after Acronis Plus Pack install?
3. please provide step by step instructoin (again the genreal instructions don't seem to agree with what I see on my laptop).

Again, trying to clone Laptop "S" (for source) is a Dell Laptitude with Windows 7 to a hard drive to be booted as primary/active for Laptop "D" (for desitnation), which is a Dell Inspiron, used to have XP on old hard drive.

You may have better luck doing Backup and Restore rather than clone. You will need a third drive like an external usb drive to hold the Backup Image. If you try this you also need to re-make the bootable Rescue CD so it has the Plus Pack features on it.
