Would appreciate some feedback on HDD Image Backup software for the New Rig
in my Sig. I've been running Acronis True-Image 8.0 on the Main Rig for some time
(Xp-Pro Sp-1 & FAT-32) with no problems backing up or restoring C: drive.

On the New PC, Acronis seems to create images OK of C: drive , but when I try to
restore the image, Acronis tells me it "can't see any hard drives". Don't know if
this is because the "DOS" restore program can't work with SATA drives or can't
work with NTFS, or both - or it it just me?
 
Probably due to SATA or AHCI? if you are using that, definitely sounds like controller issue.

I use Drive Image XML for backup and restore and Bart PE for DOS access. Bart PE has to be built adding Drive Image XML and the proper driver support for the disk controller. I learned about this stuff from Bing in the storage area. Best part, this is free software.

Thanks! I downloaded them last nite & will try them out. Will also see what else
I can learn over in the Storage area (maybe should have posted there first).
