![]() So I threw in a multi-boot system with Windows XP, Debian 4.0, and Ubuntu 7.04. To get Acronis up and running took me a few sessions, and I’ll explain what happened along the way! Of course I made this fresh install on the first drive of my four year old Compaq (it has two hard disks: a forty Gigabyte (C: or hda), and a two hundred GB (D: or hdb)) I didn’t want to make it too easy for myself, or for Acronis.
