Transferring image file to another system?

hello all
I would like to know what do I need in order to transfer my existing images to another pc with different geometry and configuration since right now I am running a AMD, IDE drives, machine and will be running an Intel CPU, SATA drives with an entirely new set of drivers. Do I need to create a bootable DVD and store my images there?
Do I need Universal Restore?
Thank you

 

If, by "transfer my existing images", you mean just to store them on another pc then just do as you would any other file. But if you mean Restore the Images on another pc then you need to make the bootable True Image cd made from a Version of True Image that will take the Universal Restore add-on. You will also need the drivers for the computer being restored to and have this available during the Restore process.

Universal Restore does not work with all versions of True Image. What version do you have?

 

version 91.3886
But my question is do I have to create a bootable DVD? to write or restore the image to a new SATA HDD? Can TI and UR do it from a bootable image and resize partition? Thanks

 

Your answers aren't totally clear on whether you want to actually restore an image to the Intel machine and then run the resulting OS or whether you just want to store old images on the new machine. For the latter, Windows copy works fine, if it is the former case then:

The traditional method is to boot with the TI rescue CD and restore the image stored on whatever device to the "new" drive. For a while now TI has allowed you to create images on DVDs and include the components to make the DVD bootable but I've never done it.

TI allows you to resize partitons on restore.

You are going to have some work to do to use an image of an AMD/IDE drive on an Intel/SATA machine. TI's Universal Restore is supposed to accommodate such things and it is an addon license for TI workstation which I believe you version number indicates you have.

Others have done this fiddling with drivers and Windows repair. It it were me, I'd be doing a clean install - lots of times, the hard way is the easy way.

 

I want to run imaged partition on a new Intel/SATA machine I know that that implies a lot of work with drivers and updates, then again running a new installation and all applications may take me days to do it.

 

Hello vareniky,

There is an option to resize when restoring partitions.
