Acronis True Image settings

gort · 27 May 2008 at 11:33

I used Acronis True Image to make a copy of my OS onto another drive.
Thing is, what settings do I use so that BOTH OS will show up on the boot selection screen on start up?

Isn't this down to the (hidden) boot.ini file on the root of c:

It should list your partitions and drives etc. As long as this is restored it should work I think.

That's the thing, all the data is on the other drive but the boot.ini still only shows the one drive to boot from.

Sorry, miss-read your original question.

Take a look at this page, it describes boot.ini. You'll need to add a new line with the details of the other drive. I've not edited it before, so good luck!

Thanks for the link, manually edited the boot.ini and it's sorted.

Cheers!
