    System Restore not working properly


    I would highly recommend Macrium Free Macrium Reflect Free


    Windows restore points are at best a bit flaky. Imaging with Macrium to an external drive is quick, easy and safe. Restoring is also quick and easy and safe. Macrium is used by many, many members here with confidence. Acronis is also an option.

    Typical imaging time is 10-15 minutes (with verification) and 8-10 for restore. Yes, it's longer than creating a restore point, but it is also virtually bullet proof. Backing up is an essential part of any computing. Worth the time to get a reliable one.

    Tks. An imaged disc is a bootable disk when loaded? I would need to do to a USB stick has my little travelling laptop does not have a cd/dvd drive.

    Yes, the native imaging will work. It takes a longer time, and you will overwrite the previous one each time. Something like Macrium allows for as many full system images as you want, limited only by space available. Backup plan of Daily/Weekly/Monthly is easy to set up and allows going back to any point in time you have an image for. TC

    System Restore not working properly

    I've actually tried Macrium and it always fails for me. It gets about 25% done, some times more, some times less, and then I get a "Backup failed" message. It also goes excruciatingly slow. I exhausted myself trying to troubleshoot it and finally gave up. (I considered it may be the drive so I plan on getting a new one and giving Macrium another shot, as I liked the options it offered.)

    Your specs say you have a desktop. Slightly confused. Anyway, no the image is not a bootable OS image. The native image from using the supplied Windows tool is not bootable, either. Macrium will let you create a bootable thumb drive which can then be used to restore an image from an external USB hard drive.

    Yes I do have desktop that is running Win 7 but recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite "netbook" for travels.

    Once again thanks to everyone for your valuable inputs, much appreciated. *Biggrin

    Sounds like you're using a USB 2.0 drive, or write caching is not on, or SATA bus is slow. It's not the software.
