Atasas Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Thanks Lite,...if I'm not dreaming, acronis needs program to be installed for its restore disc to be functional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 nah :wacko: , could'nt get the Ghost, but neither one or "Drive Image XML" does the job ;) PSI cant remember unfortunatly the name of one, but it did the job by creating two separate bootable DVDs for the other new laptop (HP ) and afterwards uninstaled itself...

Administrator Lite Posted November 10, 2006 Administrator Share Posted November 10, 2006 I can't honestly remember. I'm sure you can just use the rescue cd to do all the stuff while your OS isn't booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atasas Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hm probaly my arms are both left handed ;) the story is as follows: windows restore does not let me create DVD as there is no wrirable drive; acronis can create image to external HDD (the one that I would burn with other PC) but how to be able to get that image to restore pc as to that state without ie OS operating, and especialy acronis not being there anymore? :wacko: Ill try to find the ghost, but I gather it wont recognise external hdd as no os is fully loaded?

Administrator Lite Posted November 11, 2006 Administrator Share Posted November 11, 2006 When you install Acronis on a PC you get an option to make a recovery CD. You can create it after its installed too. (you can install it on another PC if needed). Just boot from that created CD and do the stuff needed. I'm 95% sure this method will work.
