    How to restore C: drive from backup?


    Hello all. I need help restoring my W10 system. System was running fine and then all of a sudden, it goes to Auto Repair mode. That fails, repeatedly. I tried various solutions but none worked. I eventually decided to do reinstall of Windows using downloaded Windows Installation Media. Install is successful. I have a full system backup (from EaseUS ToDo Backup). I reinstalled the backup software and initiated a recovery of the C: drive. The C: drive, after the Windows re-install, is MBR and the Boot partition. After the successful recovery from backup of C: drive, the drive is now GPT and not bootable. Diskpart will not allow me to convert to MBR because of pagefile.

    How can I use my system backup to restore my C: drive?

    :)

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

  3. Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?

    Questions on C:\ Drive Backup

    *Original Title: Backup C drive

    I have a Lenovo K330 PC which I bought in 2011 with Windows 7 Home. Since then I’ve upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and now to Windows 10 Professional. My C: drive no longer has the Lenovo rescue partition. I have a portable WD Passport with
    1 GB used to coordinate data between computers. I backup my data weekly on a removable 298 GB hard drive. I currently have no system backups. I see several backup alternatives:

    • Windows 7 Backup & Restore
    • Norton 360 Backup
    • Cobian 11 Backup
    My concern is my C: drive is 5 years old. When it fails I’m up a creek. I refuse to go to the "cloud." I tried Windows 7 Backup and Recovery on my Passport. When finished I got a warning that some files were not copied. Not
    what I wanted to see. Will it work?
