You actually will run into another problem .. when restoring an Image to another computer (which has different hardware) you have to use the Universal Restore option which works only with the Workstation version of True Image, not the Home version.



The reason that the CD doesn't see the Image on the external drive is that the CD runs in Linux and it doesn't have the drivers for the chipset in the enclosure.



A workaround for the "different hardware" situation is to make another Image of the old system after you change the display adapter to Standard VGA. This new Image should then be restorable to the different hardware.



A workaround for the CD not seeing the external drive is to download the Trial version of the latest True Image, and make the bootable CD. This CD should be able to restore that version 7 Image. Just in case it cannot, after you install the Trial version and after you have the Display adapter changed to Standard VGA, make an Image with the Trial version (you have to do this from the installed software as the Trial CD will only let you do a restore).



Hope this helps.
