Windows system image restore failed. The parameter is incorrect. Error code 0x80070057

But you are sending me back into my original problem. If I boot from USB installation disk, I got the error at the end of restore

System Image restore fails: "0x80070057 the parameter is incorrect"

When trying to restore my Windows 10 system disk from a System Image, I received the error message "0x80070057 the parameter is incorrect". The restore was c95% complete at that point and the auto-repair offered by the system could not recover.

After that failure, I could not reboot from the system disk.

After some research, I made a second attempt to restore the System Image and selected the option to repartition the system disk. That attempt failed with the same error message, having almost completed.

I'm:

- running Windows 10 Home Edition with the latest updates applied

- booting from a System Repair CD

- attempting to restore from a 10 day old System Image stored on an internal HDD

- restoring to an internal SSD

I've found several references to the error on this forum and on others too. However, none of the offered solutions seem applicable or accessible in my particular predicament.

Is the situation retrievable by restoring the recent System Image? If so, how would I circumvent this error?
