Not really sure that I need the 3rd partition, but think there might be some advantage to keep only system and apps on the new C drive, and use the 3rd partition only for data.
ACRONIS BOOT CD 2009 HOW TO
Is it possible to increase the C partition size, and add another partition for data making 3 partitions on the new drive? Can you tell me how to do this? Or did I make a mistake in not originally imaging as a disk? I understand I should keep the diagnostics partition at 63MB. Now I'd like to write these partitions to a brand new 500GB drive. I chose the partitions backup, not the "disk" backup, but imaged the only two partitions on my present C drive: 1, an unlettered 63 MB Dell diagnostics FAT and 2, a 149GB NTFS partition holding system, apps and data. I followed your instructions, downloaded the ISO file and created a new TI boot disk, and per your article with Grover, imaged both partitions of the SATA C drive onto my internal D drive, and, for good measure, onto an external USB drive as well. No need for regular backups etc., as I BU all new data to the D drive regularly. Would that be easierthan using 2009 Home? (There have been users noting problems with it as well.) Would it need to be installed, or could I do everything from the boot disk?Īll I want it to transfer everything to the new drive, and keep the old for disaster recovery.
ACRONIS BOOT CD 2009 INSTALL
I also have a 160 GB D drive, with enough space left to hold all of my current C drive contents - system and data.ĭo I need to actually install Acronis? Do I need to make a Bart PE disk? Should I use the Seagate software - it seems to be a simpler, if limited version of an older TI version.
Minimum system requirements: To take full advantage of Acronis True Image Home 2009 you should have: Pentium processor or higher.
Can I simply boot from the Acronis disk, and use it to clone directly, or do as Grover suggests, and make a backup image first, then clone from the image to the new drive. Acronis True Image Home 2009 also allows you to create a bootable CD that can back-up and restore a disk/partition on a Windows XP or Vista-based PC. I have the still unopened Seagate box, with its DiscWizard CD.īecause of all the problems possible that I've seen posted, and afraid of breaking my current system, I'd prefer not to install my (boxed) TI Home 2009. Running XP Pro SP3, and would like to clone my 160GB C drive to a replacement 500GB HD.
