Sysprep allows you to replace only Plug-and-Play device drivers (sound cards, network adapters, video cards etc.). Microsoft System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) will not resolve this problem.

This is because the new hardware is incompatible with critical drivers included in the image. Trying to move the system to a new more powerful computer will usually produce the same result. However, if you change the motherboard or use another processor version, a likely possibility in case of hardware failure, the recovered system could fail to boot. You need to re-create bootable media in order to make the newly installed Universal Restore add-on operational in the bootable recovery environment.Ī system disk image can be restored easily on the hardware where it was created or to identical hardware. Acronis True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack has its own license and is installed from its own setup file. Universal Restore is part of the Acronis True Image Home 2011 Plus Pack which must be purchased separately.
