| 794335 | 2009-07-24 09:45:00 | Maybe this'll help:) www.acronis.com Thanks but I have read that page already. As I said, " I have read several times about incremental vs differential... ". I was hoping that a kind PF1er would give me an answer in simple terms, e.g. "Differential backups are a pain because they...." |

| 794336 | 2009-07-24 10:09:00 | Okay back to the original topic:) Got a brand new 500GB hard drive today, fitted it in my PC, powered up with the Acronis disc in tray, pointed it in the general direction of my old 160gb drives backup (.tib) file that was on an external, clicked ok a couple of times and 45 minutes later I had a fully working computer. It reinstalled "C" and "E" drives (Total 160GB) exactly as they had been previously on my failed 160 drive and left an "unpartitioned space of about 330gb that can be used for whatever. Thanks for your replies:) |

| 794337 | 2009-07-24 10:21:00 | Terrific. Glad it went smoothly for you minster. Acronis has to be the one of the best programs I have (freeware excepted). It is a huge relief and nice satisfaction to get everything back on a new hd, quick and easy. | Strommer (42) | ||

Thanks for your replies:) That's exactly what I needed to know. :) Except in my case I only will only have a 100gb C drive and will then have to partition the remaining about 400gb - I guess I can manage that... |

| 794339 | 2009-07-25 00:05:00 | You can expand your drive again with something like Gparted. | Blam (54) | ||
| 794340 | 2009-07-25 21:12:00 | A question for Blam - and anyone else! Thoughts from through the middle of the night! Could I/should I just install Windows XP Pro (OS) on the new drive when it comes and is installed (and that way I get to partition the way I want) and THEN reinstall my Acronis C Drive back up from the external drive? And apologies to Minster for hijacking your thread, but my questions sound sort of similar - I'm just a few days behind you... |

| 794341 | 2009-07-25 21:28:00 | R.M. Just throw your 100GB acronis file into your new drive and when finished you can just go to, Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management Open Disk Management @ left and you will see and be able to resize/partition your spare space how you want. Just right click on the space you wish to change and follow directions Hope this is what you need:) |
