    How to restore system image backup


    Ryan,

    To restore from a system image by booting with an installation disk or System repair disk -


    1. [Boot from the disk]
    2. Select language, formats & keyboard,
    3. Select Repair your computer,
    4. Troubleshoot,
    5. Advanced options, [and see note ***]
    6. System image recovery,
    7. Accept the latest image identified by the system or, if you have multiple images saved on your backup drive, use Select a image to chose the one you want.
    8. The rest is entirely menu driven. Whilst there are some options that can be chosen, the defaults are normally off for all these and should be accepted.

    I am not familiar with use of a Windows 10 "Recovery drive" but I would expect only the opening steps to be any different. Everything after selecting System image recovery would, I expect, be the same.

    If you get any untoward events such as warnings about formatting drives, please take a photo of the screen and post it here.

    If, when booting from an installation disk etc, you are interrupted by this dialog, just select No. The only time I have seen this dialog was when I was restoring a system image straight after having installed a new Windows 10 version.

    *** Do be aware that your normal drive letter assignments do not [temporarily] apply when booting from an installation disk etc or using the onboard restore facility ["WRE"] so from the Advanced options you can select Command prompt then use Dir C: then Dir D: and so on commands to look at each drive in turn to figure out what each one is temporarily called [ignore the X drive, it is a virtual drive controlling the computer during this procedure]. When you have finished, type Exit to close the Command prompt and it will take you back to the Choose an option screen where you can select Troubleshoot, my step 4 above.

    Windows 10 System Image restore did not restore D partition

    My SSD in my Lenovo Yoga pro failed and before I had it replaced, I made a system image backup using Windows software. After much struggle, many hours of scouring blogs for answers, I managed to get the system to boot from my recovery usb drive and restore
    the image I created.

    However, the restoration process did not restore the D partition, even though I backed it up.

    Can I get the restored system to partition the drive properly without doing the boot from USB again and starting over?

    Did I miss a step when I did the restore?

    Thanks in advance for any help - it is extremely frustrating to use this backup system.
