Windows 10: System Image

Hi. I have a SSD in my Acer Aspire E 17 laptop and I am trying to restore a system image to it. I continue to receive an error stated the following: No disk can be found for recovery. I have read some articles and they say that the SSD has to be twice the size of the image. The SSD is 240GB and the system image is 43.24GB. I do not understand what the problem is. Can someone please assist me with this problem. Any help will be appreciated. deanie 44

System Image failure with error: The system image restore failed. Error details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)" on Windows 10

Here's my issue in a nutshell. Had an issue with my HP Envy 17 Leap Motion. I have Windows 8.1 upgraded to 10. Made a system image disk on an external hard drive and sent the unit back to HP for repair. HP had to replace the motherboard and some other small
issues. Got the system back and attempted to re-load the system image disk and got the following messages - "The system image restore failed. Error details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)"

Tried to do a recovery and got this message:

"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired

A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.

Error code: 0x000000f

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device, contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer."

(btw...I have installation DVD and a USB recovery drive)

Next it was suggested I reset the PC. I got this message:

"The drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again."

Have no clue how to do that.

I hope I've give you enough information to offer a suggestion.

System Image Restore Does Not Find System Image In Drive, External Drive, Etc. Windows 10 Pro V1709 64 Bit

Hi Luis,

This might be caused by a corrupted file. Do give us an update once you're done with the disk cleanup so we can provide further assistance.

If the issue persists, if it is the system image for Windows 10, try downloading a new installation media that you can use through this
link.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.

 

You dont say what your using for this a 43 gig image could be compressed so could be a lot bigger or its looking for a blank partition it woulldalso happen if you are trying to run it in windows as it couldnt overwrite a live system you would need to boot from dvd or usb

 

Delete Windows partition (N drive) first.
