2.3 Acronis True Image installation
To install Acronis True Image:
1. Insert the installation CD into your drive.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. After making your installation choices and copying Acronis True Image files onto
your hard disk, you will be prompted to create a
bootable diskette or CD-R/W.
(You can omit this step if you have purchased the boxed product that contains a
bootable CD). While Acronis True Image creates disk images in Windows, it
might be necessary to restore the image from a bootable disk. Therefore, it is
strongly recommended that you create one. However, you can do that after the
installation as well.
After installation of Acronis True Image is completed, you should restart your
computer.
