Question about clone

Hi!
I´m download the 15 day Test Version (11.0 B 8.027).
In my winXP SP2 System ther are two 250GB SATA Disks installed. First with system and data and the second is free. I want to clone the 1st to the 2nd disk. I click the "Harddisk-Tools" and "Clone Disk". But the Assistent doen´s show me the disks. I can only add the disk, but the program will delete the content.
Is such task not possible with the test-version?

Thanks for all answers!
best regards
wilfried

 

Are you using TI in Windows or booting to the TI CD?

I don't think the trial version on the CD will clone a drive.

 

The trial version CD will only allow you to restore an image not clone.

 

Hi!

I download the 15 day test version from the website:
http://www.acronis.de/homecomputing/download/trueimage/ (german version)
I want to see how it works before buy the software. Does anybody know what other functions are not available in the 15 day test version?

thanks a lot

Have you already got a system backup strategy in place and is it capable of restoring your hard drive to its current working state?
If not I would tread very warily indeed. Version 11 has only been out a few days. It has quite a few user identified bugs, not yet confirmed by Acronis. I have not yet seen any reports from someone who has done what you propose. The choice is yours.

Scheduled backups will not work from the CD also but this is true for the purchased version as well. See this post for the trial version limitations https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=700804&postcount=2

 

The trial version cannot create a Rescue Disk. Cloning is way better done via Rescue Disk than from within Windows. It is faster, . . . has a much better GUI, and is less prone to crash, freeze or fail. Just remember - when cloning from the Windows OS, the system must reboot and go into a sleazy looking command prompt mode that does not give you complete and accurate in progress info. So, why not just use the boot media and bypass the OS and its concomitant problems completely?

 

Wrong! The trial version can create a Rescue Disk. It is only capable of a restore.
