2 different Hard Drives???
HI, I have win 7 64 bit.. I cloned my Seagate Hard drive to a Western Digital portable drive, using Acronis. It all went fine. Not even 4 weeks later, I had a registry failure. I was not even upset knowing I had a full and total backup. When I went to put all the info back onto my internal hard drive, it asked for a " Tib" file. I could not locate it. After many calls and emails to both Seagate and Western Digital, which was no help at all, I found out that I could not put the cloned drive info back onto my internal drive.. why?? cause they are "dis similar"! Meaning I could not put the info taken off the Seagate, onto the Western Digital back! I had to do a total fresh reinstall of Win 7.
My question is this.. I want to use the program that comes with Win 7 to do the back up. I will be taking the information again off the Seagate Internal drive and putting it onto a Western Digital external drive. If.. anything happens, will I be able to transfer the info from the Western Digital external back onto the Segate internal with the Win 7 program? Thanks for the help.. I am so frustrated over all this!
