Chapter 3. Restoring a Disk/Partition
from an Image
Partition or disk restoration from an image is a more complex procedure than
storing. When you store a partition, you can do it directly under Windows or
from a bootable CD. But your system is assumed inoperable in general.
If you need to restore individual files only, you’ll be able to work directly
under Windows.
However, if your system or a system partition (usually the primary one) is
damaged, it gets more complex. In this situation there’s only way to restore
everything: booting from a diskette, created with Acronis TrueImage, or from
a bootable CD with Acronis TrueImage.
You can run Acronis TrueImage from a CD and then replace a bootable disk
with an archive file CD, containing the image of a partition to be restored.
But an archive file can be possibly stored on a special back-up hard disk. In
this case you’ll have to connect it to PC.
So, the main thing for partition restoration is the availability of a bootable media
(a diskette or CD), created with Acronis TrueImage, and also the access to an
archive file with a partition image (on a hard disk or removable media).
After you ran the software from a diskette or a CD and got to Acronis TrueImage
welcome window, the further steps should not be of any difficulty to you.
