The MUCH better practice when performing image restores of OS disks, and the way to avoid that risk, is to boot your system from your Macrium Reflect Rescue Media, which would be on a USB flash drive or CD/DVD. It sounds like that's exactly the problem you ended up having. But second and much more importantly, when you start an OS disk restore that way, the Windows PE environment you're prompted to boot into actually boots from files that are stored on your C drive - which means that if the operation fails, those files will no longer be available for you to boot into that environment again in order to reattempt the restore. First, you can't actually perform the operation from within Windows, so it seems pointless to start it there. I personally am not a fan of doing that when restoring OS disks, for two reasons. However, since you said that you were told to reboot into Windows PE, it sounds like you started this restore operation from within Windows.
Was there any specific error message you saw during the restore? Did you try just running the restore again? If an image restore (or clone) where the OS disk is the target fails partway through, then as you say, it would be expected that the disk you were restoring/cloning onto would not be bootable, since the disk would be in an invalid state from having a partially written partition. Not sure if I did the same way using macrium it would work?Īre these 2 issues known with regards to Samsung 970 Pro? Am I doing something wrong? Luckily, I had also made a disk image backup using aomei backupper (onto same disk 2) and booting into my 2nd OS drive disk 3 I restored my main OS drive 1 using aomei backupper. I believe while back when I had attempted to clone my original ssd drive disk 3 onto the new 970 pro macrium didnt work properly either whereas Samsung's own magician software worked. When I manually restarted the PC as expected it wouldnt boot or work from the 'attempted restore drive'.
It restarted the PC and attempted to restore the drive 1 from the disk image disk 2 however it got stuck on 32 or so % and just froze. I accepted though whilst doing its process of windowspe prep it did say dismount failed but continued anyway.
It gave me a message that it needs to do it via windowspe and recovery media. I then attempted to restore that drive 1 from the diskimage file from the other drive 2. It had completed successfully just fine and I had verified it and it checked out.
I had made a diskimage to another drive disk 2 of the main disk 1 with the OS (and recovery etc partitions) whilst in it and using it.
