Problems with backup

The worst scenario: I have made complete full backup of my C drive (primary) to another drive H and all went beautifully, and have since I purchased the program some time ago, doing full BU's and incrementals per schedule and so on . The full BU, *.tib is there in my H drive. Several days ago the C drive crashed...wiped out ...nothing at all left there, black screen etc etc ..... I re-installed Win Xp home to the C drive and go to restore all the files from the full back up in H to C, and I can't because the Acronis application says I need to re-install it since it is not functional in the H drive. So I now have a full back up in H that I can't get to load to C. What to do?

Hello,

since your issues are with Acronis, your post will be moved to the appropriate forum.

AH good. So, do you have a suggestion as to how to restore my back up (*.tib) from the H drive (where Acronis application will not work) to the new primary drive C ?

 

No, i'm afraid i don't. I don't use this software but i'm sure someone with the help u need will be along.

Thank you.

 

Hopefully you made a boot disk and can boot into ATI from it to do the restore. The other possibility I can think of if you did not make a boot disk is maybe you know someone that uses ATI close to you that would let you borrow their disk to get you going again. If not maybe someone has other suggestions....
