Acronis TrueImage Restore

[FeelLikeANut]

I'm hoping someone here has experience with Acronis TrueImage. I formatted my desktop and re-installed everything cleanly -- Windows, anti-virus, Office, etc. All the essentials for a basic system. Once I had everything perfect, I used TrueImage to make and burn a backup of the system to a DVD disc. Then I restored that backup on my laptop, so it should have a duplicate of my "perfect system." Now when my laptop boots, the initial "Windows XP" screen shows for a split-second, and then the computer just reboots.

Does anyone have experience creating a system image and restoring it on another computer? Or does someone at least know a better place for me to get help?

Thanks.

I believe the true image will only work on the exact same hardware spec, at least that was how it worked when I used it last (about 4 months ago).
