If you used Acronis True Image to create a backup of your disk, and your disk fails, you can use True Image to restore your data to your replacement disk.

Of course, you'll be unable to boot from either your empty new disk or your failed old disk. In this case, you'll need to use the ability of Acronis media to boot your system. (Bootable Acronis CDs can be created easily.)

Once your image is restored to your replacement disk, your system should boot normally.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. To format a disk using Windows 7 DVD. . .

Boot with the DVD. When asked, enter your language and country.

When the Window to Install appears, press Shift-F10. A Command Prompt Window will open.

You can execute Command Line instructions to format your drive.

P.P.S. Plan B . . .

Boot with the Windows DVD.

Begin the installation by clicking "Install Now."

Continue with the installation until the Window that asks "Where to Install" opens.

Select the correct location.

Near the bottom of this window, click on "Drive Options (Advanced)"

One of these advanced options will format your disk.

Note: I wrote Plan B from memory so it's only a rough guide.
