    Hello Community

    I have installed Windows XP Professional SP2 with newest updates

    I wonder if Acronis True Image Workstaion and Universal Restore
    will manage to "transport" my current windows system to another
    mainboard with changing the CPU from Athlon to Intel and changing DDR to
    DDR 2 Memory., The Rest of the System Remains the Same

    Current System:
    C: "RAID 0" on two SATA disks (nForce RAID on Mainboard)
    D: DVD on Mainboard
    E: CD on Mainboard
    F: IDE HDD on Mainboard
    G: IDE HDD on Mainboard
    Motherboard Asus A8N-E with nForce4 Chipset
    CPU Athlon X2 4200+
    Memory 4 x 512 MB DDR 400

    Planned System
    (WILL UNIVERSAL RESTORE WORK ON THESE NEW COMPONENTS?)
    C: "RAID 0" on same two SATA disks (Silicon Image RAID on Mainboard)
    D, E on Mainboard
    F, G IDE connected with a PCI RAID IDE Controller (but single drives)
    changed: Motherboard Gigabyte P965-DS4
    changed: CPU Intel C2D E6400
    changed: Memory 2 x 1024 MB DDR II 800

    Now my question is if Universal Restore will manage to "teleport" my old
    windows setup, which runs really stable, or noto_O

    I thank for any ideas and comments

    Bye Anton

    Some people have been having problems with Universal Restore, but keep in mind even if it works perfectly, what it basically guarentee's you is you can boot up. You will still have work to do. Drivers etc.

    The question is if i can change the lower layer RAID Driver which is required for Booting Windows XP, you know the drivers which i also had to manually
    add to windows during installation procedure at beginning from floppy !!!

    The old Mainboard RAID 0 Setup uses SATA nForce RAID Drivers
    (nForce Chipset)

    The new Board RAID 0 will use Silicon Image SATA RAID Drivers
    (Intel P965 chipset)

    Any other opinions?

    You will absolutely have to change those drivers. In fact you may have to change them as part of the universal restore to even see the drives to do the restore. What else there may be I don't know. I've never used Acronis Universal restore by acronis so I don't know what provision there is to change drivers going in. I've only worked with other brands that do have this provision.

    You can use the .inf drivers from Silicon Image. Put them on a floppy, and direct Universal Restore to that floppy during the restore when it asks for the mass storage drivers.

    You may also direct it to another removeable drive I think, but have never tried it.
