Hi
I am trying to restore my hard drive using Acronis true image version 8 but am totally stuck.
Basically my hard drive (an 80gb SATA drive) has problems (windows xp is corrupted). I have taken the laptop to a service centre and they couldn't do anything except reinstall the OS. Rather than doing that and losing all my programs (some of which I no longer have the cd's for) I decided to simply get a new hard drive installed. So I now have a new 250GB SATA hard drive in my laptop.
I have an Acronic image of the old hard drive on an external hard disk made before the problems arose. It's in 12 parts. I want to restore that to this new hard drive but I can't. I don't have an Acronis bootable CD. Will I be able to restore my old hard drive to this new one? I can't access the old hard drive to make a bootable CD because that one doesn't work properly. Is there any way I can do this?
I would really appreciate some help on this as I'm currently in the middle of fieldwork in a remote indonesian island and there's not really anyone I can ask to help me here!
thanks
Nancy
