| 1386116 | 2014-10-12 22:57:00 | Found your problem, (Had time this morning, duplicated it) The problem is because you have the backup on the One Drive. What you need to do, as per your pictures above in post 1, untick everything except E ( this is actually R - look at its size , about right for a image with data/programs etc), on the next window you will then see all the partitions, select the partition thats got the OS currently on it - It should be D - See Note below (assuming you want to replace it) the window after that, make sure its set to Primary (default settings) and it will put back the Image. BUT you'll find it wont boot, you will get invalid boot disk error, so you will need to boot from your WIndows 7 DVD, and repair the boot options by selecting start up repair. Note: You will find the system reserved will be C, your main Drive D and the other partitions something different to what you named lettered them. What a lot of people dont know, is when Windows installs, the system reserved IS actually C, but its hidden from windows so thats why Windows is seen as C, but in bootable CD's the real drive letters are shown. You would be better off saving your Disk Image to either another HDD or external HDD, saving it to the one drive ( even partitioned) is dangerous simply because when the drive fails (all drives fail one day) the image will be lost along with the rest of the data. If you were to have the image on an external HDD, you would select everything as you have in the second picture post #1 - this then puts back everything and it should boot fine right away. |

| 1386119 | 2014-11-12 04:49:00 | Just out of curiosity, I tried this: From Active@ Disk to Image, I selected only C:\ (System Reserve partition not selected), image file location: D:\Active@ where D:\ is a partition of the same HDD as C:\. When restoring, I selected only C:\ and it went through smoothly and booted to Windows 7 without any issues. However, I don't know if I were to use the PC for sometime, will there be any changes made to the 'System Reserve Partition' and whether or not it will be able to restore correctly? Could it be that Active@ is not capable of backing up and restoring more than one partition at a time? |

| 1386120 | 2014-11-12 05:28:00 | It certainly can and does. On my desktop I always image just C and the boot partition whereas on my netbook I always image C7D drives as it has so little stored on it anyway. Never had an image fail always tested after creating. | gary67 (56) | ||

Never had an image fail always tested after creating. :+1: The problem appears because the backup was on the same drive as the Original OS. ( as posted in #11) On separate drives no problem. |
