I have a Win2K machine with a 20 gb drive that I would like to back up
to a USB drive, then replace the 20 gb with a 160 gb and restore the
backkup from USB using Acronis 10.

Is this doable and what should I watch for and what is the procedure for
doing the restore and reboot?

Thanks

Re: Acronis and USB

Install the 160gb as slave, then use Acronis to clone the old disk to new.
Shutdown when complete, disconect origonal HD, configure 160gb as master &
reboot.
There may be a few more hoops if your 160gb is a sata drive
If its a Laptop & you have no enclosure to use with the 160gb then do as you
planed
The Acronis cd is bootable & can be used to recover the backup to the new hd
