Gerhard,

The answer to your question is 'possibly'! What type of image did you make, full disk or partition type?

What drivers were missing?

What type of drive is the new drive, for example is the new one a Sata rather than an IDE type or is it one of the new Advanced format drives which the old one wasn't?

How old was the image you recovered from?

I'm assuming you hadn't changed OS's or any other hardware between making the old image and needing to recover it.

As Colin says, you have not provided sufficient information for us to know.

I have done many "bare metal" restores to brand new replacement drives, and have never needed to add drivers. Once booted, everything on the new disk was identical to the old disk at the time of backup. BUT, I did full disk backups (which includes all partitions including hidden ones) and restores.

Dear Colin, thanks for the reply.
The image backup of all partitions was one day old.
The driver missing, I noticed in the taskbar speaker icon was crossed out.
In Device Manager, I found some other drivers that were missing:
processors
Audio-video-game-controller
some, but can not remember exactly.
I then "Search for driver software" own PC, install the drivers.
Which lay on the computer, so no problem.
I hope my english is understandable (with the help of Google), otherwise I have to learn English;-))

You have me puzzled Gerhard, I can't think why or how this could happen.

Is the sound/video controller an add in card that comes with its own licenced software? I can understand software that has locked it's licence to a harddrive needing to be re-installed, but not a device driver.

Did you use "Universal Restore"?

Gerhard,

Did you also purchase and install the Plus Pack? James F is asking this because this can ask for drivers if the 'Use Universal Restore' option is ticked. If you haven't purchased the Plus Pack, then this won't have been the cause of your problem.

Had you set up a Secure Zone, Acronis StartUp and Recovery or if using Windows XP activate the Large Disk utility available in True Image?

Colin, I have the Plus Pack installed.
Secure Zone, I do not know.
I installed the missing drivers.
Everything works again except for an update of DXO Viewpoint.
