Acronis UR will work 60% at the first attempt when restore to a dissimillar hardware by specify a Chipset driver or storage driver. And for some type of machine, the restore always works fine.
For example, the DELL 630. I have restored a VM image , a HP compaq d530 image, a DELL 170 image. And every single time, the Acronis UR replace the driver correctly and the DELL 630 laptop just boot up fine. After log in, I need to go through those non-boot-essential PnP drivers, and install them so that I can clear those question mark in the device manager. I still need to run the chipset driver setup again, because it has a set of devices depend on.
The other 40% time I have failed at the first attempt, but I get it boot up eventually. These model are DELL optiplex 330, and DELL D620.
Two type of errors have occure to me.
First, it is that restore progress bar is not moving any more when it has only 7-12 second left. I force power off the machine and power on to interrupt and it actually boot up fine. So this error can be ignore
Second, the restore operation is successfully as the pop up says, but windows XP will reboot itself after seeing XP splash logo briefly. I found the Acronis log has a warning about can not locate a file. The correct steps right now is:
1. Make a disk to disk restore, which will delete the target disk; partition to partition won't delete disk or MBR.
2. see if there are error in log, if yes, launch the recovery again without test the booting
3. maek a partition to partition restore without select MBR; resize the partition necessary to take all space on target
4. specify the drivers
5. if this is not working, then do not specify the driver from USB key, but specify check box on "search removable medium" in next page; In this way, I let Acronis to search driver instead of providing driver from my USB key
6. If the log has not entry, it is working. Give it a power boot.
