I read something on acronis website that seemed to mention that you could only
restore an image on hardware that was the same as when you imaged the hd.
You are remembering that wrong.
Not exactly wrong
Yep, its nothing like as black and white as that.
- you can restore an data image to another system usually without a problem.
So the original is just plain wrong.
However, restore an operating system image to alien hardware is fraught with danger.
Nope, the worst you have to do is a repair install after the image has been restored to different hardware.
It should work but do it at your own risk.
There is no risk at all, it just wont boot if the hardware
is different enough and a repair install will fix that.
Certainly don't try it with anything before Windows XP.
You've got that backwards. Its the NT/2K/XP family that has the problem.
The Win9x/ME family was always much happier to have the hardware
changed behind its back and be able to handle that gracefully.
Changing the entire hardware between reboots (which is what you are doing effectively) is madness ;-)
Nope, trivial to do with the OSs that have a repair install.
