Restore Data on IDE to SATA Drive

Hi,

I used Acronis True Image 10 to clone the OS (Vista) on an SATA drive (120GB) to an IDE drive (120GB). Now, when I try to clone the OS on the IDE drive to the SATA drive, the computer does not boot. All I get is a blinking cursor. It's as if the bootloader is missing.


How do I resolve this problem?

 

Hi, That happen to me once but all I did was restart the computer and it loaded , though it did take a while but it did finally loaded . I believe there problems with ATI and Vista . I know whenever I do backup restore image or cloning I get errors afterwards . I even notice this with using the rescure disk too. I wouldn't be surprise as to why there hasn't been a new build in a while now because of problems with Vista and I bet they ( ATI ) are working on a fix , though sometimes it can be a while before they do , which I hope they do .

 

You might try the procedures listed in My guide to Manual Cloning using the TI Rescue CD. This is work in progress but it might help.

 

No, that's wrong.
How can a booting Ti rescue CD have knowledge about the installed OS?
TI knows the filesystem but not the OS.

I think it has to do with SATA and the old kernel of Ti10...

But perhaps it is described in Grover's manual
