3. If the target hardware has a specific mass storage controller (such as a SCSI, RAID, or
Fibre Channel adapter) for the hard disk, you can install the appropriate driver manually,
bypassing the automatic driver search-and-install procedure.
Use this option only if the automatic search-and-install procedure was unsuccessful.
Acronis Universal Restore uses three sources for drivers:
- the driver repository - a folder or folders on a network drive or CD specified in restore
options. If you have not specified the driver repository in advance, you can do it at next
step.
- the mass storage device driver specified by the user at the current step
- the Windows default driver storage folders (in the image being restored).
The program will find the most suitable drivers of all available drivers and install them into
the restored system. However, the driver defined by the user, will have the priority. It will be
installed, with appropriate warnings, even if the program finds the better driver.
When restoring the system to a virtual machine that uses SCSI hard drive controller, be sure
to specify SCSI drivers for virtual environment in the Specifying Mass Storage Drivers
window. Use drivers bundled with your virtual machine software or download the latest
drivers versions from the software manufacturer website.

7.3.12 Setting restore options
1. Select the options for the restoration process (that is, pre/post restoration commands,
restoration process priority etc.). You may Use default options or Set the options
manually. If the latter is the case, the settings will be applied only to the current restore
task. Alternatively, you can edit the default options from the current screen. Then your
settings will be saved as default. See
7.4 Setting restore options for more information.
2. Click Next.
7.3.13 Restoration summary and executing restoration
1. At the final step, the restoration summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click
Back to make changes in the created task. If you click Cancel, no changes will be made to
disk(s). Clicking Proceed will launch the task execution.
2. (For Acronis True Image Workstation local or standalone version) The task will appear on
the Active tasks pane of the main window. The task progress will be shown in a special
window.
You can stop the procedure by clicking Cancel. However, it is critical to note that the target
partition will be deleted and its space unallocated – the same result you will get if the
restoration is unsuccessful. To recover the “lost” partition, you will have to restore it from
the image again.
If Acronis Universal Restore finds no HAL or mass storage device drivers compatible with the
new hardware in all available sources, you will be prompted to browse network share drive,
floppy disk or CD to select missing drivers. On starting Windows, it will initialize a common
procedure for installing new hardware. At this point, you will be able to specify drivers for
devices, if Windows cannot find them automatically.
