true image 2013 universal restore on a new Gigabyte Motherboard GA-Z297X-Gaming 3

Thread needs solution

my mother board went out, so i went and purchased new board GA-Z297X-Gaming 3
i plugged backup drive in, inserted acronis boot disc, true image opened up i chose restore/made sure universal was checked, and about 3/4 way through the restore process i get this error

Device pci\ven_8086&dev_8c82&subsys_b0051458&rev_00 for windows 7 not found on HDD or in removable media after i choose ignore (4 times) then i receive apopup stating resotre was successful, i then remove acronis disc, reboot and windows get to the starting windows screen and instantly i receive bluescreen of death (very fast flash..unreadable) and then windows ask if i'd like to repair/restore..does no good.

i then went to gigabytes website and grabbed their intel chipset driver but it's an exe. so i then tried to extract the .exe by using 7zip as suggested elsewhere on the forum, but all 7zip does is show a bunch of files.. no driver folder. (see photo below)

is there any hope to use my image, or will i be stuck having to install a fresh copy of windows all because of a motherboard replacement?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

When using Universal Restore it is required that you have drivers for new hardware on media either on CD or USB stick for the Universal Restore app to install during the recovery process. That would have gotten you by the error messages.

The error you quote is not a chipset driver but rather an SATA controller driver.

You may be able to get the machine to boot if you go into the bios and change the SATA configuration to IDE mode which should allow Windows to use generic drivers to boot.

Enchantech, ty for reply
thats what i did, i went to gigabytes site grabbed ALL drivers ( http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5383&dl=1#driver )
they were all zipped, i then unzipped them all and threw them on usb drive (but all of them were .exe's ive spent HOURS looking for these drivers that were not .exe's, and also tried universal extractor, and 7zip.

I'll give the ide a try thanks for your recommendation.

i went to gigabytes site before trying restore, grabbed all new drivers, extracted them (however they are all .exe's, then ran univeral restore but it still gave me an error.
I'll try ide trick, thanks Enchantech for recommendations
