I hate to be stubborn, but a friend is using Acronis True Image Home 2010 to clone his C drive (a WD SATA black) to an external drive (a WD 500 GB MyBook running on USB 2.0). He has done this (for the exact reason I tried to do it) to create a back-up bootable drive.

He will not be able to boot from that drive, so the Clone is rather worthless. Windows won’t allow normal boot from an external USB HD. He’d be better off making full disk backup images.
