Yeah, thanks Picco
I have also an (already again old) image of my C-drive stored on another HD (with Partition Saving, a very nice program too), but had a separate partition for documents, from which I made irregularly backups... That partition wasn't backupped as a whole (image) sadly.
About what I did wrong:
I didn't have all space partitioned on my HD (just don't like very laaarge partitions) but wanted to make one addition partition in free space.
I did it within Windows, but after restart another partition wasn't visible anymore.
I thereafter runned 'testdisk', but did that wrong, such that only that partition was made visible in the partition table. I couldn't boot to windows, but luckily still to linux (have a multiboot system)
There I runned testdisk again, but now my documentspartition (another one) wasn't found anymore, only an empty partition with the same size as the documents partition originally was.
I then checked the option that that partition also had to be in the partition table.
Thereafter rebooted to windows, but there the real mistake begun:
CHKDSK found the seemingly empty partition and began to mess up the MFT
So far thus mostly mistakes. Thereafter I'm very glad that I have restored with 'PC Inspector File Recovery' most of the lost files... But not all, sadly
But I'll look for Acronis too...
Can you extract single files from a made image with that program?
