I have Acronis True Image version 8. It's an older version, about 5
years old. This version allows one to clone drives.

In my new comp, I have SATA drives. I'm wondering if this version of
TI will clone this type of drive. I seem to get the impression from
reading some posts in forums that there is a difference between
cloning IDE or SATA. drives.

Acronis 'support' is non-existent.

Not in that sense.

If either of your drives is a Seagate or Maxtor, then you can use
DiscWizard to clone them. DiscWizard is an OEM version of Acronis True
Image. If your drive is another brand, you may be able to use ALT-T-O
(Technical Override) to clone it.
