But am worried about things like does it have a rock solid uninstaller if it comes to that. I am hearing a lot of good opinions of Macrium Free here. Others should be jumping in with more expertise I would think so. This will restore the OS, applications and data contained in the critical volumes (volumes required for Windows to run).īut will it be the same with out the Recovery Partition as that is no longer of use to you as it is set for that drive I would think. Note that this will format and repartition the new disk and restore the volumes contained in the image. Now choose 'Format and repartition disks'. On the next page select the time period of the image you want to restore to. Choose the recommended system image or choose a different one if you wish.ĥ. Connect the disk which contains the backups.Ĥ. Boot into the repair disc / Windows installation discģ. You can use the system image created using Windows 7 backup to restore to a different hard drive. Since this has a HP Repair Partition plus possible hidden partition I would say no but then again nothing is impossible : WD has Acronis Software for download and other tools available :

You do not mention what you used to make a image. If wanting to clone need to buy 2 at the same time make/model and format them the same and if research some come with Cloning Software Tools.
