Hi everyone,

I have been trying to restore to a system image located on my had drive, i boot up into the recovery tool and select system image recovery, Once the box opens up it begins searching for an image to restore to. But every time i get an error saying windows can not find a system image on your computer. It says attach the back up hard drive to the computer and try again. It will never detect my backup image, but it detects my hard-drive. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The folder with the image is called Windowsimagebackup. there is nothing else on the hard drive but that.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you try to boot from the drive ?

Have you tried Macrium Reflect ?

I don't know how that would be done.

I suggested Macrium because you could make a new image.

It won't detect your image.
I meant trying to boot from the drive the image is on.
I thought if so the image would install.

Macrium is so much better than the Microsoft way.

Windowsimagebackup should contain a .vhd file. Mount it with disk management.

Take an image of the mounted drive with another imaging program. Macrium will work, I use Aomei Backupper as it is simple and fast.

Restore the new aomei or macrium image you just made.
