Re: SP failed to create bootable Win 7/64 drive

The answer to your question is here: http://forum.storagecraft.com/Community/forums/p/2556/12260.aspx#12260 There is a different procedure for restoring the small 100mb partition. If you were to restore the C: drive only it would boot up after the restore, but the other partition takes just 2 more steps...

Re: Procedure for backing up and restoring Windows 7 100mb and C-drive partitions

[quote user="Brian K"]Reboot. You still get the Windows Boot Manager screen but there are 2 choices. Windows 7 and BCD Compatible Boot Option. Don't choose Windows7, choose the second option and Win7 will boot.[/quote] This is because you have 2 boot entries in your BCD, one is pointing...

Re: Vista - simple restore!

Hi Mike This should be straightforward, but there can always be unexpected issues as there are very few computers that are identical. If at all possible, I'd suggest using ShadowProtect V3.5 if you are not already. The code used to patch the BCD data is updated in that release, and you also have...

Re: Question re. switching partitions for images

Thanks Mudcrab. Bill U Let me see if I can answer some of your specific points you raise above. I understand what you are trying to do - no explanation required on why. Most of the machines I have are multi-boot and nearly all of the volumes have been moved around, not only on the same machine, but also...

Re: Incremental Backups on Windows 7

From the looks of the log files, both the incremental and full restores completed successfully. However, the issue in both cases is the BCD. In all the tests I've run, I have not come across a situation where ShadowProtect was unable to patch the BCD, but if such a problem was going to occur, it...

Re: Reimaging Vista Ultimate to another volume within a dual-boot, multi-disk PC.

[quote user="mike1157"] OK, I found the program I needed, SavePart, and got the drive letter of Vista changed from J: to C:. It now boots fine. I just have to reconnect the other HDs, and whatever is assigned to them I can change later if necessary. FTTester, I really appreciate your input...

Re: Reimaging Vista Ultimate to another volume within a dual-boot, multi-disk PC.

[quote user="mike1157"]I discovered something else a little later: When I set the Vista partition active XP STILL BOOTED. [/quote] Yes, because you have boot files on both the Windows XP and the Windows Vista partition. If you mark the Windows XP partition active, it will load the bootmgr and...
