Guest rb Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Got a Windows XP computer , with 60gb har drive hooked to it. I use Acronis as a true image backup to the USB drive. I have the full Acronis true image backup on the USB drive. If my pc crashes, and I put a new internal hard drive in (I assume I'll get it back from the shop with a fully functional bland disk): what do I need to do to get into the USB hard drive and run a recovery through the Acronis backup?

You create an Acronis Recovery CD now, then use this CD to boot the machine for the recovery process.

Lurking here a bit and was wondering if you can use the Acronis program CD to boot from instead of making a recovery CD? Thanks, Ray

Anyway - it's an absolutely trivial affair to burn a recovery CD.

The Acronis CD is bootable. However, there will be newer builds of your particular version, so you might as well burn your own CD. Another option is to burn a BartPE CD with the Acronis plugin.
