Alright, I'm going to do my best to describe this and what is going on.
First, I have several drives. My C: drive 32gb SSD mSATA for my OS. The G: drive which is a 60gb SSD I use for my games and such. My E drive which is 256gb HDD used for frequently accessed pics, music and programs and a 1TB X: drive for programs, games, music and backup files that aren't used often. for this purpose the X drive is non existent.
When I create an image it tells me my G: drive (separate drive all together from my C
is a system drive and has to be backed up in the system image. I load the image on to my E drive since it's the faster of the 2
I shut down the computer and remove the mSATA 32gb SSD and the 1TB storage drive and plug in a 232gb HDD (which is to be the new C: drive) I boot via restore disk and it recognizes the image and the new drive (image is of both my old C: drive and my G; drive). I go through the process only to have it FAIL saying "System image restore failed, no element could be found 0x80070490. I read this could be because it's taking 2 drives and trying to put it on one.
So, I disconnected the G drive and tried it again, this time my E drive became the D drive but it still had the image on it and recognized the image, I try it again and it returns "no disk could be used for recovering, the system disk could not be found
I took all the drives out and reconfigured. the new C drive in port 1, backup E drive in 2. CDROM in port 3. Same thing. I put EVERYTHING back to the way it was except the 1TB and the G drive and try to boot. won't boot. I hook up the G drive again and it boots fine.
What's going on. my C drive and G drive aren't in raid so why is it saying my G drive is a system drive and won't boot without it (there is nothing on this drive except for my games to my knowledge)
Is there a way I can do this? or do I need a 3rd party software to do this? All I want to do is upgrade my 32GB mSATA SSD to a larger SATA HDD
