EV>I've just thought an Image had to go to a HDD dedicated to only that   
   EV>Image file and nothing else could be stored on that HDD.   
      
   That is only true of a Dard Drive Clone. An Image, .tip file, can be   
   stored on and disk with enough space for it. As an example the Image   
   of my bor disk is 125.69 Gig  and is stored on a WD USB hard drive with   
   about 160 Gig worth of other files..   
      
      
   EV>After getting my copy of Acronis True Image 10 Home, version 10.0 in

   I have the 2013 Edition and and except for a fdifferent lok and   
   upgrading for later then XP windows worls as good as the earlier   
   versions.

   That sounds like you are running the Hard Drives in IDE emulation mode.   
   That slows down the speed of the newer SATA drives.   
   You should go into the BIOS and set the Hard drives to AHCI instead of   
   IDE
