Help! From Beyond!!!

Hello. I have a really "dumb" question. I backed up my hard drive about 2 months ago with Acronis True Image. I have a total of about 14 cd's copied. I had a "crash" yesterday (damn hijacker changed all my registry keys) even though I have the best protection in town! Anyway, if I purchase the Acronis True Image 8.0 will it read all my back up files and put them back on my hard drive? When I backed up everything I was using the trial version. I meant to purchase but had forgotten to do so. (silly me). Will the True Image 8.0 help me to recover? Thanks! Guys! I really appreciate your help!

I think there are no problems. You can try a restore.

 

Re: Help! From Beyond!!!/Reply

Yep! Tryed a restore. All restore points were taken also by this hijacker. I had to "delete" all my hard drive files, everything. I am now starting "fresh".
So will True Image 8.0 help restore my personal data?
Thanks! Kristina

 

Ok. Make a fresh install and then you can browse your image (you must copy it to your HD) and simply copy the data you need, but be shure they are not infected.

 

Thanks! Ale! (that's such a romantic name!) But I need to purchase True Image 8.0 for it to "read" my data. Correct? Because I don't have the program on my computer. (I will make sure they are not infected.) Are my questions silly? I did a clean install of my Windows XP this morning. Ale, you're a great help. Kristina

 

You're welcome, Kristina. Yes if you purchase TI, after the install you can make immediatly an image (before some virus or other). I made an image with only Win XP and SP2, then I installed all my progs and made another image and now I make a new image at every important change or new installation.

Thanks again, Ale. I will try everything you suggested. Thanks for being such a great help. Us tall blondes have trouble comprehending sometimes!! Ha! Ha!
Hope the weather is nice in Italy. Wish me luck!
Sincerely, Kristina

 

Hi Kristina, now it's rainy here!
Good luck for your new install. By the way I use an external USB hard disk for my images, but if you have only one maybe is better to have your images on another partition on your HD. If you need help I'm here!
Sincerely, Ale

 

Ale, I'm going to purchase TI and will let you know how it goes. That's a Great idea about putting in a partition on my HD. I was going to do that before, but didn't get around to it! (wish I had!) I will post to you tomorrow about what happened and If I do need some help, I will come and look for you. It is 4:18 pm where I am.(Texas). Thanks again, my friend! Kristina

 

Kristina, maybe is better you register to forum, so you can PM me and we don't go off topic
Bye

 

Ale, I am now a register member! Will fill out details later. Thanks for your help. I'm going to try and "refurbish" everything now. Hope to hear from you soon and I will be in touch. Thanks Again, Kristina

 

Ok, good idea.
Here are 12.03 am
Bye

Funny thread! Looks like Kristina really knows how to work the system! But then I could be wrong. You know how us good looking muscular type guys can be at that sort of thing!

Yeah, it was just over the top!!! It should be stickied as a classic. Isn't it nice that online, we can appear to be anything we want to!

 

Except for clever.... (no personal offense - just came to my mind when reading other postings here)

 

Or civil.... judging by a number of your other posts on this forum.

 

Let's stay on topic and away from the personal comments folks. Thanks.

Hello all,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis True Image (http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimage/).

It seems to me that the problem is resolved... but I should clarify one thing.

If you create an image using any version of Acronis True Image (Deluxe, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, the trial one or the standard one, Server edition or not, using Acronis bootable rescue media or under Windows) then the image will be recognized by any later version of Acronis True Image.

Thank you.
