Chapter 5. Restoring A Disk (Partition) From An Image; Selecting An Image To Restore From - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 8.0 User Manual

Chapter 5. Restoring a disk (partition) from
As mentioned above (see "Running Acronis True Image"), Acronis True Image can
be run in several ways. However, disk restoration is always performed just one way.
We recommend that you restore disks using Windows, only using other methods if
Windows doesn't load.
The boot disk (e.g. a CD) from which you loaded the program does not keep you
from using other CDs with images. Acronis True Image is loaded entirely into RAM,
so you can remove the bootable CD to insert an image disk.
To restore a partition from an image, Acronis True Image must obtain exclusive
access to this partition. This means no other applications can access it at that time.
If you receive a message stating that the partition can not be blocked, close
applications that use this disk and start over. If you can not determine which
applications use the disk, close them all.
