I assume that you booted the machine with your TrueImage 6 CD and that TrueImage (not Windows) had a problem with the disks connected to your machine. I suspect that TrueImage is unable to deal with SATA disks. Have a look at the Acronis site or check out the Acronis FAQs. You are currently in a Windows newsgroup but if the problem occurs with an Acronis boot disk then it has nothing to do with Windows.

Or at least version 6, you probably mean. Version 11 can, at least to some extent. (Version 6??? That's gotta be pretty old by now). > Have a look at > the Acronis site or check out the Acronis FAQs.

Guest AJR Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Re: Acronis True Image Boot Disk Acronis will reassign drive letters depending on the drive/partition configuration. When restoring via the Acronis boot CD - select the source location (regardless of it's drive designation - in this case "J") - restoration will be correct to the original drive/partition.

Can anybody give me an explication and >>> soloution? >>> Thanks The source letter assignment doesn't matter - it is the physcial layout that the program sees. It will restore " that file" to "Drive 2: partition # 1" and THAT letter needs to match what XP willl see when it boots (disconnect external). So if your backup image WAS the first partition and now you want it to be the third - that won't work. But if was first (C:\) and now first (C:\)- will work fine. --- as for J and C: I don't understand your layout /question: is this a drive letter assignment issue ? Need more info for that: 1 Internal drive properties/layout 2. BIOS boot order 3. External drive properties/layout the IMAGE file - it WAS backed from C ? The 750gb SATA - is the new drive in the new PC. It has 4 partitions ? Works fine without external drive. You have an INTERNAL disk on the new PC - if you boot XP without the external drive it is C:\ - Correct ? And you WANT to restore a file FROM the external drive - to REPLACE the C info ? And your PC sees the EXTERNAL drive as C ? or the image as C: ? ??? If Acronis is messed up with letter assignments, go into BIOS and change boot order so that internal drive is first . OR Is the internal drive BLANK at this point ( which is why it boots external eventually) ? Disconnect external drive - boot CD. CD will see internal as C - correct ? THEN hook up USB drive.
