    System Image restore to original disk finds the disk too small!


    I am trying to restore system image to the original drive on original hardware and it fails to complete with errors about the disk being too small.^The disk that is set as active in bios is too small to recover the original disk error 0x80042407."This is the original disk, been reformated , cleaned etc. Just can't get past this hurdle when nothing in my hardware has changed. A new install on the same disk works fine but then cannot do a system image restore either to that or a reformatted empty original disk. The system image is of the same drive, no other complications.Using Win10 X64 2
