Windows 10: Reflect Free incorrect screen

Machine--Lenovo T61
Windows 10
Source: SSD
Destination: Mechanical drive removed from wife's Dell, now used as an external backup storage device.

For the initial T61 image I used the external drive as it was configured when in the Delll as the single drive--note partitions.




After the initial image I realized how chopped up her drive was with partitions.
I ran a complete NTFS format on the drive.
I then did a second image of the drive (now first since I formatted the first)
Here's the view upon completion



Reflect now properly shows the destination as a single partition.

However, when you open the xml file to edit or start another image, the drive's partitions are the same as my first inline image and still shows all the partitions that were removed by formatting.

Is this a bug or is the destination image static with the initial definition?

Welcome screen shows "Username or password is incorrect"

Whenever I start my Surface Pro 4, it reflects the error screen as"Username or password is incorrect". I need to click on the only option which says "OK" and sends me to windows spotlight lock screen to sign in.

 

Can i upgrade win 7 home to win 10 PRO with the media creation tool now that the november update is out?

thanks for the response. After making the media creation tool ...the finish screen says I will need a win 10 product key to change editions. Is this now incorrect and not updated to reflect the November update changes for win 10 upgrade?

 

Before you formatted the target drive, did you delete the partitions ie: all of them ?

 

NTFS format only formats logged in drive - it does not remove hidden partitions. You should use diskpart clean command to wipe drive.

 

I believe the xml file is a record of the previous image process and is used as a shortcut and is showing the previous information. Set up a new image process and save that to a new xml file.

I didn't realize the limitation of format.

I've read the command line parameters but I'm not sure I've got it right. Intention--clear all, end up with one large space.

From an elevated command line:

Run from active drive C: on target drive D:

syntax:

c: dispart D: clean [all]

?

Alternatively, could I use the following Crap Cleaner screen?

 

To change disk partitions you need to use a tool like diskpart at the command line or the free and excellent third party program MiniTool Partition Wizard Free. Then you need to delete all the partitions you don't want, and expand the ones you do want to suck up the newly-freed-up space. Alternatively, you can use diskpart clean to remove all drive partitions, then use diskmgmt.msc to create a new, single, volume with all available disk space in a single partition.

Thanks, I did end up using the MiniTool Partition Wizard but appreciate the information on the other method.

 

Glad it helped. MTPW is a great tool: I use it all the time on my many and various PCs.
