Is the trial version a full version for a short period of time? Other software is ghost or setting up WDS but that's a bit over kill for one image lol.
With older versions of ghost you may need to create the 100mb partition and image that then the rest of your disk.
When imaging to a bigger disk on same hardware no need to worry about drivers.
Yes, it's a full version for 30 days. I have a full purchased version of Acronis TI 11, but that doesn't work on Windows 8, which is why I downloaded the trial.
I only really want the image for a backup purpose incase something was to happen with the SSD in the laptop, and I was to put it back in (highly unlikely I know, and everything on there is backed up onto the NAS anyway).
So I could just use the software that came with the SSD to clone the Win8 drive onto the laptop drive, and not back it up.
Or, I just bite the bullet, and buy a new 3.5" drive and clone straight onto that (and I won't need a fitting adapter then as well)
