vista can i image with it9

Hi
i'm planing to install vista sp1 on my pc
i would love to know if i can i mage it with true image 9 , i have this version , i have the last build


if yes , it's better the recovery cd to make the job?
thanks

 

NO mate i think its version 10 version 11 is l8test!!!!

 

If you install Vista as a dual boot with XP then you can continue to use TI 8 from XP to image your drives/partitions.

You can make the image from Windows or the rescue cd, it makes no difference.

 

I plan to install to a new laptop , only vista
so i can't use ti9
i have to use ti11 so i must upgrade it or ti10 is enough ?

is there a freeware to backup vista , because i want to make a trial
can ghost 2003 backup it?

 

10 support Vista. RE Version 11, it's a crap shoot what it does and doesn't support because it's so bugridden.

 

well thanks

which others program can i use to image vista?

thanks
can i be sure that ti10 supprot as well vista? is not buggy ?

 

I actually did this just yesterday .... with the recovery CD Ver 9 build 3677 incorporated into a BartPE cd. Both Backup and Recovery were successful.

 

but acronis answer that ti9 doesn't support vista

 

What they meant was that you cannot instal ver 9 on a Vista system. But if you already have the bootable Rescue cd ..... it will work as long as it sees both your internal drive and the external where you have the Backup.

 

TI 10 also has numerous problems under Vista, rendering it unreliable. That is what led me to try various others.

Isn't there a problem requiring a repair if the partition was setup with Vista?

 

Funny you should mention that ... I was expecting to have to do the repair, but the winlogon.exe error didn't show up. The laptop booted right on to Windows. I don't know if it was because this was the Sp1 of Vista or if it was because the restore was to the same drive the backup was from. In any case, "I ain't complaining".

 

I would guess your partition offset was already "XP standard" or TI 9 restored the partition as it originally was instead of moving it like TI 10 and 11 will. Another possibility is that the BCD file was already setup to boot Vista from the "boot" partition (the Active partition).
