Re: [Thinkpad] Acronis Vista restore & "generic volume installed" alert?

I've seen something like that, if not the exact same thing. With both XP and
Vista, whenever I move a system to a new hard drive, on the first boot it
says it has found new hardware and wants me to reboot. I don't recall
anything about a "generic volume", though.

This happens whether I image or clone the drive, and regardless of what
program I use to copy it. It happens even if the new drive is the exact same
model as the old.

Other than the slight annoyance of one extra reboot, it's never seemed to
cause a problem.
