7.3.6 Selecting a target disk/partition

1. Select a target disk or partition where you want to deploy the selected image. You can

restore data to its initial location, to another disk/partition or to an unallocated space. The

target partition should be at least the same size as the uncompressed image data.

All the data stored on the target partition will be replaced by the image data, so be

careful and watch for non-backed-up data that you might need.

When restoring a Windows system disk and select a target disk, the program compares

critical for the system start devices, found in the image registry and the target computer

registry.

If the chipset, motherboard or mass storage device are different, there is a risk that the

system will not be able to boot. Then you will be prompted whether you want to buy

Acronis Universal Restore. To find out more about this option, see

Universal Restore

. To buy the option, follow the link.

If you already have Acronis Universal Restore, the prompt will not come up and you will

have an option to enable Acronis Universal Restore later in the Restore Data Wizard.

2. When restoring an entire disk, the program will analyze the target disk structure to see

if the disk is free.
