| 1386106 | 2014-10-11 23:24:00 | Senario: Win7 Ultimate SP1 1 TB Seagate HDD with the following partitions: C:\ 292GB D:\488GB R:\150GB Created Image with Active@, stored in R:\Active@ verified image OK Now, I have encountered a problem and wish to restore from the image created earlier but only find that I'm greeted with the following message: 5975 Here is the Souce partition I selected: 5976 What have I done wrong? |

| 1386107 | 2014-10-12 01:24:00 | First, you have booted off the CD to run it right? Second, you say the image is on R: which is 150GB. The selection I see there is not 150GB and Header and System are not partitions you should touch - so that is not the SOurce. Source is where you have the image stored. Destination is the partition you wish to overwrite - which would be C: I imagine - 292Gb. |

| 1386108 | 2014-10-12 01:54:00 | Boot off the Active@ Boot Disk. Select the image you wish to restore and you should be good to go. If you try to do it while you are running Active @ after a normal boot into Win on C: it cannot write to C: because you are already using C: to run the program. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1386109 | 2014-10-12 03:19:00 | I know it looks not quite right. But when I selected 'Image to Disk' , Image to Disk Wizard -Locate Source Image File opens up and could browse through to select the image I created without any problem; but, after I clicked Next, the 'Select Source Disk or Partition opens up as shown in my first snapshot above, there's no other options - the R:\ where my image file is not visible. * I did booted Active@ from USB and tried from CD as well gives same results. |

| 1386110 | 2014-10-12 05:38:00 | Dont know if I'm reading the explanation correctly or not, ( nice day, few drinks outside in the sun weeeeeeee :) ) But once you get to the point of selecting the Location of the Image, in this case Drive R, you should see a folder called DiskImage (unless you renamed it) you double click the Folder, in there will be a Image file, once you select that next and you'll be presented with the Picture you have above, if you tick everything / Drive Like its shown it wont work if only restoring one partition, as selecting the drive option as you did will do just that, the complete Drive, As its trying to put back the complete drive. Select Only the actual drive/partition you want to restore,as shown below 5977 Once you have selected Only the partition, on the Next, you'll get the option as to where to put it. This is an example of My PC here: ( in the photo it will be drive C) 5978 Just make sure you dump it in the right partition other wise it can really ruin your day :) Been there - done that :o |

| 1386111 | 2014-10-12 09:22:00 | OK, so the mistake I made was, I selected the the whole HDD rather than the just the partition itself. It's a bit confusing here, this is supposed to be 'Select Source Disk or Partition' and the 'Source' partition (where my image sits) is not visible! Will try it again tomorrow. |

| 1386112 | 2014-10-12 18:58:00 | Is the Drive R, an external USB HDD or a internal ? | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1386113 | 2014-10-12 20:44:00 | R:\ is just a partition of the main and only 1TB internal HDD. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1386114 | 2014-10-12 21:04:00 | Hmmmm OK So when you click on image to Disk, and browse for the Image, does R not show up as mine does ( drive V) ? 5979 |

| 1386115 | 2014-10-12 21:16:00 | When I selected 'Image to Disk' , Image to Disk Wizard -Locate Source Image File opens up and could browse through to select the image I created. It shows up when I clicked browse to select the image file and I've no problem in locating the image file. |
