Ok so Acronis has been proved not as reliable as the others.
I have heard that newer version of Acronis have changed the format in which
the image has been made and thus some versions of Acronis cannot handle it.
Sounds a little like Microsoft changing file formats to push people
to upgrade. :(

I have used the free products from both EASEUS and Paragon (EASEUS Drive
Copy, Paragon Drive Copy, EASEUS Partition Master, Paragon Partition
Manager, etc.) in cloning Windows 2000, XPPro, and Windows 7 boot
partitions. There are collections of smaller, specific tools (e.g.,
XXCLONE with TestDisk) which together can accomplish the same job, but
either EASEUS or Paragon can do the whole job simply and easily. The two
free Acronis versions are for Seagate and Western Digital drives; they can
work if either the source or target drive is one of the two supported
brands Seagate or WD. But sometimes these have proved problematic for me.
I have never had a clone failure with either EASEUS or Paragon. Good luck.
