Hi All,
Is it Acronis True Image WD Edition Software able to clone Win7 32bit edition to new hardisk? After clone, will Win7 able to start without any problem?
I bought a new larger hd & plan to move my Win7 to new hd & format my old 1.
Thank you.
As long as drive is WD, then it looks like a good choice.
Cloning normally will copy the MBR, but in case it doesn't boot your Win7 DVD Repair console or Repair CD, click through to recovery tools to run Startup Repair at least 3 separate times to make sure the MBR is intact on Win7. This will always work as long as Win7 is marked active.
Look at the copy and paste from the user manual below.
I take that to mean that it isn't enough for the source drive to be WD brand and that in fact the destination drive must be WD brand.
I have used the product successfully to make images, but have not yet done a restore.
All my drives are WD, so I cannot say for sure if it would fail if a restore or clone were attempted to a Seagate, for instance.
Given the wording, I think one would be foolish to assume it will restore to other brands, but I'd certainly like to see someone step in here and say they have successfully done so.
Friends,

if you have different HDD manuf, just hold alt/T/O
