Guest Phil Shulman Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 I have 2 separate Windows 10 Pro installs on a partitioned 1TB hard drive. I used a partitioning tool and reduced the size of the first install to a 200GB partition and the second install to 150GB. I then ran created a single system image of both Windows installs (drive C & D). I am now trying to restore them to a new 475GB SSD. I used the Windows 10 USB boot and with Diskpart, I created a new partition and volume, formatted it with NTFS and then ran the clean command on the new SSD. When I boot up with the USB Win 10 disk, I run into problems with System Image Recovery. It correctly finds the image I wish to restore, from a second external USB 500GB drive. It only shows 2 disks - the newly formatted SSD disk and the USB Recovery Disk in the exclude Window. When I click Finish to start the restore, I received a System Image restore failed error and when i click on Details, there is a pop up window that shows: No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found. There is a list of things to try, but none of them work. Looking for suggestions on what steps I might be missing. Its the first time I tried to restore 2 windows installs from a System Recovery and am wondering if that just does not work. More... Quote
