I wanted to restore my computer using a backup image because I believe there was a security breach on my computer. I went through the repair disk and attempted to do an image restore. After 5 hours of the restore, the progress bar was at no more than 5-10%. I google'd the problem and found out that AHCI mode can cause the process to take a very long time. The solution was to change the SATA mode to IDE and then continue with the upgrade.
I changed the SATA mode to IDE, then saved the BIOS change and restarted the computer to verify that the SATA mode was still in IDE. I then restarted the image restore and after 4 hours, the progress bar is still at about 5-10%, and the change seems to have made no difference. I've tried the restore on both IDE "compatible" and IDE "enhanced", both of which are still taking a very long time to complete the restore (after 4 hours, for each, being about 5-10%).
The drive that I am trying to restore is an 256 GB SSD connected to a 6 gb/s SATA port. The restore image should be around 100-125 GB. The restore image is stored on an internal 500 GB HD also connected to a 6 gb/s SATA port, but the 500 GB HD is only 3 gb/s.
The motherboard that I am using is an ASUS P8P67 WS. The firmware is 1212.
So to recap, I'm having a slow image restore to an SSD, and changing the SATA mode in BIOS from AHCI to IDE doesn't appear to be helping. If you've been adding up the hours from this post, you can see that I've been working on this for the better part of 12 hours. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you.
