    Is the original drive still in the computer?
    Did you make a Ti boot cd?
    You made a post, so can you network to this other computer with the broken one?
    If you can network:
    Copy the cd's to a shared folder on the working computer
    Boot the new hdrive computer with Ti disk
    Aim your restore to the tib files in the shared folder
    Sometimes tib files can be read better from a folder on a hdrive when they can't on cd

    Or

    If you can install the original hdrive back where it was
    Put the new as a slave or 2nd channel master
    Use the Ti boot cd to just clone the original drive

    Hello turkeytangle100,

    Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

    Please make sure that you use the latest build (937) of Acronis True Image 8.0 which is available at: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/support/updates/

    To get access to updates you should create an account at:
    http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/
    then log in and use your serial number to register your software.

    Note that you should create new Bootable Rescue CD after installing the update.

    Please be aware that to restore the image archive spanned over a several CDs you should insert the last created CD first (actually, CD that contains the last volume of the image archive) and then follow the wizard's instructions.

    If that's not the case then please do as noonie has suggested and copy all the files from all CDs to one folder on any local or network hard drive you have the access to. Boot the PC having the issue from Bootable Rescue CD created using the latest build (937) of Acronis True Image 8.0 and try to restore your image once more. Please inform me about the results.

    Thank you.
