restore windows 7 to new hd not working
Hi I am a newby here trying to restore my system but not doing something right. I have an acer aspire 5332 with windows 7 home premium on which came pre installed. The factory hard drive has pretty much failed but before it did I made 3 recovery dvd disks, an application driver disk. I have purchased a wd Scorpio blue 500gb internal hd and want to put the windows os on there.
I have formatted the wd new drive and created a system image on the drive using the whole disk space as 1 partition. I have then placed this into the computer and removed the old hard drive.
I have then installed recovery disk 1 and restarted hitting F10. This has booted into acer erecovery. I have clicked to do full system restore. I have then gone through all three disks. final message is restore complete restart computer to reboot. However on doing this it does not boot
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong
