7.6.2 Recovery using vhd files created by Windows Backup

You may have vhd files if you used the Windows Backup utility included into Windows Vista and

Windows 7 for backing up the system hard drive.

If you purchased Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition after using Windows Vista or

Windows 7 backup utility, you can recover your system hard drive from those vhd files using Acronis

True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition.

When you need to recover your system using a vhd backup file, proceed as follows:

1. Arrange the boot order in BIOS so as to make your rescue media device (CD, DVD or USB stick)

the first boot device. See Arranging boot order in BIOS (p. 78).

2. Boot from the rescue media and select Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition (Full

version).

3. After Acronis True Image Home 2011 Netbook Edition starts, click the My Disks link under

Recover on the Welcome screen.

4. Choose the vhd backup file to be used for recovery by its creation date. When the required vhd

backup is not shown, click Browse, choose Windows Backup Archives (*.vhd) in the "Files of

type" field and locate the backup for recovery.
