EV>The Vista Notebook came with a 160GB HDD that had 3 partitions on it.   
   EV>A small proprietary partition, and the C: and D: both have 60GB+ .   
      
   EV>The C: partition has 1GB Free, the D: still has a lot of Free space.   
      
   EV>I bought a 1TB HDD, and I made a Backup with Acronis True Image (TI)   
   EV>after reading Leo Notenboom's article "How hard is it to change a   
   EV>laptop hard disk?"   
      
   EV>He says to make a CD with backup rescue media from the TI program so   
   EV>after I replace the HDD I can BOOT from the CD and Restore my Backup to   
   EV>the larger HDD, and also to TEST the CD before replacing the HDD with   
   EV>the new one.   
      
   EV>When I BOOT from the CD I see   
   EV>"cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge00:1c.3" .   
      
   EV>The rescue media comes on the screen but when I select Restore,   
   EV>I can't see the HDD I put the Backup on...Later I realized the Backup   
   EV>is on a USB 3.0 Drive, so I plugged in a USB 2.0 drive and was able   
   EV>to see it.   
      
   EV>I guess that happened because my TI program was bought in 2007 long   
   EV>before USB 3.0 came out and doesn't know anything about 3.0.   
      
   EV>So now to make another TI Backup on a USB 2.0 HDD and try it again.   
      
   EV>When I saw the Region 7 message on the screen, I thought that the   
   EV>rescue media was bad.   
   EV>After looking through some CD's I found one I had made for the Vista   
   EV>box and one I had made for the XP box but both of those gave me that   
   EV>message when it was loading.   
      
   EV>Today I tried the set of 11 Floppy disks I also made long ago.   
   EV>After the 11th disk finished I saw the message again.   
      
   EV>A Search I did had the Phillipine Islands and several schools in the   
   EV>Results.   
   EV>My notebook is set up for the Eastern Time Zone, so I wouldn't think   
   EV>P.I. had anything to do with it.   
      
   EV>Can anyone shed some light on why I see the message? Thanks.   
      
   Sounds like the region for the DVD drive is set wrong. I am puzzled how   
   that could have happened.   
      
   BUT Why you fooling around with a TI Image??   
      
   For instaling a new hard drive jsut have TI "Clone"(Make a bit for bit   
   copy) from the current drive to the new drive.
