    If you image the drive to another drive, yes. If you make a back   
    up image, that's a file, not a copy to another drive. So it can   
    go on anything big enough to hold it.

    Keeping up with changing operating systems, all the while trying

    EV> My computer says something about SATA on the motherboard   
    EV> IIRC, but on Boot Up I see something about IDE on the   
    EV> screen.   
      
    I have a computer with both SATA and IDE plugs. This one uses   
    SATA, but I plan to add IDE for storage drives.   
      
    EV> On the side of the TIH 10.0 box it says:   
    EV> "Supported hardware- P-ATA (IDE), S-ATA, SCSI, IEEE1394   
    EV> (Firewire) and USB 1.0/2.0 drives, PC card storage devices."   
    EV> HTH 73   
      
    IOW, just about everything. Only now everything includes USB 3.   
    SCSI seems to have disappeared. Don't see much firewire either.
