Machine independent restoration (M.I.R.)
O&O DiskImage-40
Whenever you want to restore or clone, simply enable the M.I.R. function before the restoration or cloning process is
completed.The automatic adaptation will do the rest.
For restoration on different hardware proceed as follows: The example here describes restoration from an image:
1. To restore an entire system or a system partition, you'll need to start your computer with an O&ODiskImage
bootable medium and perform the restoration from there. To boot from CD proceed as described in chapter Start
directly from bootable disk.
2. On the start page of O&O DiskImage click Drive restoration.
3. O&O DiskImage, by default, will always go the place where the last image was saved. If the image file pre-
sented is not the one you want, browse through your drives and enter the path to the image file.
4. Select the image file in the browser and click Open.
5. All drives contained in the image will then be displayed.
6. Click the drive that you want to restore ("play back").
7. Then select the target drive for restoration by checking the box next to it. You can either replace an existing
drive or create a new one: for example, in an empty sector.
8. Once you have specified all the settings, click Start drive restoration to begin the restoration.
9. Under Additional options, enable the setting Adapt to different hardware afterwards in the restoration or clon-
ing dialog.
10. You can then follow the other dialog prompts and restart your computer once restoration is successful.
Important: During restoration, the image overwrites your selected drive with the data of the drive contained within
the image. All data saved on the target drive is thereby lost and replaced by that of the image.
