![]() Yeah, I just did this on 2 or 3 machines. What if you need to recover it and you didn't? ![]() Good question, if you plan to have the original HDD and this new HDD in the same system at the same time, windows might barf. so if you plan to use any of these applications then recover it. Some applications, MS Office, maybe windows itself, Roxio, Acronis itself, and probably a whole lot more record the VolumeId when you install their stuff and if the number is changed, then it complains, sometimes to the level of not allowing you to run the application any longer. There are supposed to be no two HDDs in the system with the same VolumeID. It's supposed to be a unique # in any particular system. The VolumeID is an 8 digit hex number where the first part of it is the date / time and the last 4 who know what and who cares. My past uses of TI confirm that when I checked the block, the VolumeId copied over to the restore disk, but if TI is doing something more, ?I'm not aware of it. If so, and I think it is, then yes you might want to click on the Recover Disk Signature so it will copy the NTFS Volume Serial Number ( which I'll refer to as the VolumeID) to the new disk. Is the "disk signature" the same as the NTFS Volume Serial Number? OK folks, let's try to clear up the muddy water here.
