Alwill Lost time is never found again. Premium join:2002-09-25 Sydney, OZ	reply to gwwalks Re: Acronis TI 8 Personal - Free Giveaway Thanks Doc but I'm afraid that when I uninstalled V8 to make way for V11, the contents of the former's folder were completely nuked; and I can't uninstall the latter at this time as I am working with Acronis Customer Service in an effort to resolve a problem I've encountered :-( However, whether SnapAPI would have done the trick now would have been most interesting to find out having regard to the date of the thread you linked (late 2004, not long after V8 was released). Should I come across this file in my travels, I'll contact you. -- Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy - Anonymous

Should I come across this file in my travels, I'll contact you. I did come across a newer thread at Wilders (it may be too new) 2007 version and the file name changed (I'm still looking for the earlier version though), but this one is named "SnapAPI_l_s_e.zip" instead of "SnapAPI_s_e.exe" that I'm wanting (to try it out as a test on V7 and V8 ATI on older hardware). Anyway, when you read the Wilders 2007 thread, there is a link to the newer, different named file at Acronis. I would post the file link here, but direct links are frowned upon (Forum Rules) to zipped and executable files as it doesn't give readers a chance to read up on what they are getting. The link at Wilders works very well though. Regards, Doctor Olds -- What’s the point of owning a supercar if you can’t scare yourself stupid from time to time?

jmorlan Hmm... That's funny. Premium join:2001-02-05 Pacifica, CA ·Pacific Bell - SBC	reply to gwwalks Can I use this to create an image of one drive and restore it to another? E.g. I've got a failing drive on one computer and I'll probably buy a new desktop with a new drive to replace it. Instead of reinstalling all the software, could I just restore an image, even if the drive specifications are different? -- If America has an official philosophy, it surely includes the belief in individualism, competition, private property, democracy, freedom, and a deep faith in education.

What version do I need to clone the old drive to the new drive on the new computer? Will the OEM version of XP complain or fail to boot?

salzan Experienced Optimist Premium join:2004-01-08 WA State 1 edit	Some have reported running a repair with XP to be successful after restoring or cloning to a new computer. I have not done this so I can't verify it. The workstation version of TI will do it with a plug-in that costs an extra $29 + the cost of the workstation version. The problem is that the HAL needs to be rebuilt to suit the new computer. MS Sysprep is one method of doing this or there are registry entries you can import before you create the image. edit: added link: »www.mostlycreativeworkshop.com/A···e11.html

salzan Experienced Optimist Premium join:2004-01-08 WA State	reply to jmorlan Just to add, you will probably have to re-activate XP if you use Sysprep and you'll need to get around the OEM issue but perhaps if you use the key from the new computer..(assuming it ships with XP). OEM adds a whole new dimension to swapping the OS. Perhaps someone else can chime in on the activation routine in a case like yours.

jmorlan Hmm... That's funny. Premium join:2001-02-05 Pacifica, CA	Thanks. Just to be clear the old drive has XP Home (Gateway OEM). The new one comes with Vista Home (Dell OEM).

howie Premium,MVM join:2003-04-08 Little Falls, NJ 4 edits	Trying to restore an image from your old machine to your new one may be an invitation for severe headaches, even though some claim that they have done this. Just bite the bullet and do a fresh install or use VISTA (gasp!) I'm assuming that your new hardware has available XP drivers although this is not always the case with new Vista machines. In addition, using an OEM Gateway XP disk to install XP on a Dell may not even be possible or activateable (sp?). Let us know how you make out. [EDIT] I remember one member here couldn't even use XP because of the Vista OEM BIOS. Gateway would not supply him with an older XP compatible "downgrade" (file to flash the BIOS) so XP was not even an option in his case. BTW, best of luck with your new PC. -- N.Y.

salzan Experienced Optimist Premium join:2004-01-08 WA State	reply to jmorlan I agree with howie . I think with 2 OEM setups that trying to cross over is a potential huge headache. I'd get a replacement for the failing HD you have and use the old machine for something else. A clone would work fine in that instance.

jmorlan Hmm... That's funny. Premium join:2001-02-05 Pacifica, CA ·Pacific Bell - SBC	reply to howie Resurrecting an old thread here. As pointed out elsewhere this free version of TI8 would not save images to networked drives and thus was not useful to me. I have since installed the free Seagate Disc Wizard which is a lite version of Acronis TI 10. It will save and access images on networked drives and it will explore and mount those images which was not a feature I noticed on the free version of TI8. However the Seagate version is missing incremental and differential images and a few other useful features. Right now I'm using it only for creating occasional manual full images. Nevertheless I am seeing the following service set to start automatically and running: Acronis Scheduler2 Service In addition I see two running processes: DiscWizardMonitor.exe TimounterMonitor.exe For occasional use I can get rid of these processes and service? -- "He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that."

If you're doing it from within Windows, you may need the service and processes. However, if you're using the boot CD, you can disable at least the scheduling service. edit: after checking, I see that I've disabled both the processes in startup as well. I only use the CD for imaging and restore and I have no Acronis services or processes running. (TI 10)
