    I purchased a new computer.

    I loaded Acronis on the new computer.

    On the original computer I created a new image (which was placed on the new computer).

    On the new computer I tried to restore the image...it wouldn't let me since programs were running (basically the operating system)....it prompted me to reboot...which I did and it ran in "safe" type mode with Acronis Loader.

    Now when I try and restore image, I get an error E000101F4 that says " Acronis True Image has not found any hard disk drives"---why not?

    This post was made in April, and no solution has yet been posted. I have exactly the same problem and would appreciate a reply from Acronis Support.

    MEDDLER, it would help immensely if you could post some details about the old and the computer. Things like how many physical disks, how many partions, type of disk (IDE/PATA/SATA), internal or external, disk controller type, RAID'ed or not, if the new disk is recognized when you boot from a Windows installation CD, etc.

    Hello Meddler,

    As hinted at by MiniMax, I would hazzard a guess and say your (and CC in Denver) new hardware is significantly different to the old hardware. Therefore the image of the old system that you've restored to the new system will not contain the correct device drivers or registry entries. At the very least you will need to boot the new system from your Windows installation CD and carry out a "Repair" reinstall.

    Regards
