Using TI 2009 (9709) on Win 7/64 and it works.

Thread needs solution

Here is how I make TI 2009 Home (9709) work on my new Win 7/64 machine. I use a bootable Bart-pe CD that I created on my old retired XP Pro sp3 computer. The Bart plugin is an Acronis download for paid owners. Maybe someone has done this with the Linux cd?

There is nothing fancy about this method except for the fact that it backs up TIB images and restores them with the result being bootable Win 7/64 hard drives.

I didn't even try to install the TI on the new computer so I'm limited to manual backups however I never did play with schedules, T&D, etc.

I boot the cd, run TI, save a TIB file to an external USB hard drive and I'm done until I need a restore.

Yesterday I decided to try doing a full restore to an older sata drive I have sitting here. The only tricky detail was when defining the destination of the restore, Win7 has created a small (first) partition (no drive letter) that is 100 MB (not GB) that is the active partition. TI wanted to make this partition fill the entire hard drive. I said no, make it small. Don't forget the check-box for making it "active".

The Win C drive is the big Win 7 partition and TI got this right, the same size as my original.

I ran the restore and as it counted down the remaining time, it pauses at one second remaining, for a long time. Let it happen, and finally said it was done and then it strongly requested an immediate reboot or else. Do the reboot, however get the Bart cd out and let your pc boot to the new drive, into Win 7.

It booted fine however Windows then asked for "just one more reboot" to deal with a different drive hardware, and then I had a perfectly good hard drive identical to my original.

My external sata drive bay runs from USB or ESATA. I've used both interfaces however the ESATA is way faster. My restored data was about 30 GB, the actual image TIB file is 16 GB, and the ESATA restore time was 6 minutes, even with the long last second ticking away.

Maybe next year I'll upgrade to TI 2011 when all the bugs are fixed.

ATI 2009 installs and runs fine on Windows 7 64-bit systems. I'm currently running build 9809 and have used builds 9709 and 9796 on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The bootable media CD (created from the Bootable Media ISO) also works fine when restoring ATI 2009 images and data file backups. You may want to rethink purchasing ATI 2010. Why waste the money?

Thank you for the information, I had thought that 2009 wasn't usable on Win 7/64.
