Boot a Real Disk, with VM.

[mobiledudes]

I have a hard drive which I need to perform a system backup on (good hard drive) I'm just going from IDE to Sata and on different hardware. The old hardware no longer works.

Thank you for any help that you can provide.

I don't understand what you are asking for. Please be a little more clear.

The hardware on a old POS died. My customer gave me the hard drive to see if I can clone it to a new system which has different hardware IDE to Sata and also I cant boot from it because I dont have the same hardware configuration I thought maybe I can boot it in VM or any other method and then install EaseUS Todo Backup and then I would be able to do a restore with "recover with dissimilar hardware." on the new hard drive etc.

Install it into either its new machine, boot into the Imaging tool direct from CD or slave it to another PC, either way avoid booting the drive itself.

Image it then restore image using the Dissimilar setting when its in its new motherboard

Its quite straight forward just time consuming

Or, just image it to the new drive then use FixIde on the UBCD4WIN to take care of it. Should boot right up when done.
