Operation Manual

 Specify the partition size, which by default equals the original size. Usually there is no free

space after the partition, so allocate all the unallocated space on the new disk to the second

partition. Click Accept, and then click Next.

12. Carefully read the summary of operations to be performed and then click Proceed.

If your original disk contains a hidden partition created by the PC manufacturer, please proceed to

MBR recovery. You need to recover the MBR because the PC manufacturer could change the generic

Windows MBR or a sector on track 0 to provide access to the hidden partition.

1. Select the same backup again. Right-click and select Recover in the shortcut menu. Choose

Recover whole disks and partitions at the Recovery method step and then select the MBR and

Track 0 box.

2. At the next step, select the destination disk as the target for MBR recovery. You can also recover

the disk signature. Refer to Selecting target disk for MBR recovery (p. 74) for details.

Click Next and then Proceed. After MBR recovery is complete, exit the standalone version of

Acronis True Image 2016.

When the recovery is complete

Before you boot the computer, please disconnect the old drive (if any). If Windows "sees" both the

new and old drive during the boot, this will result in problems booting Windows. If you upgrade the

old drive to a larger capacity new one, disconnect the old drive before the first boot.

Remove the rescue media and boot the computer to Windows. It may report that new hardware

(hard drive) is found and Windows needs to reboot. After making sure that the system operates

normally, restore the original boot order.

Acronis Universal Restore

When you recover your system to dissimilar hardware, the target computer could fail to boot. This is

because the new hardware is incompatible with critical drivers included in the image. Acronis

Universal Restore will help you make the target computer bootable. Refer to Acronis Universal

Restore (p. 149) for details.
