Rollback RX v10.3 Issues

You must choose an Entire Drive restore to see those Options. When you did the backup did you create an Entire Drive backup by putting the tick in the HD0 line? To do an Entire Drive restore, select your backup image and put a tick in the HD line. The two partitions will show ticks too. If you created 2 partition images instead of an Entire Drive backup, no problem. Let me know and we'll do the restore differently.

 

I am sure I did an entire drive backup. I suppose I can do it again.
I am booting with the image to windows boot disk, not the image for DOS boot disk. Does that make a difference? I also did the backup from within Windows.

 

No, that's fine. IFW disk.

dot in Restore (Normal)
find your backup
On the "Select the drive or partition(s) to restore:" put a tick in HD

Do you see HD with 2 partitions below it on the above screen? Or do you see the word "Partial" at the end of the HD line?

 

Sorry, I missed the screen you are talking about. I see it now. so, thanks, and I am doing the restore now. oops

ok, here is the partinfo information after backup and restore of pc2

 

Sorry, bad news. PartInfo is the same. OK, let's do it a different way.

Boot your IFW disk again
in IFW, click Settings, Geometry. Make sure you have ticks in...
Align Partitions on 1MiB Boundaries
Align MBR for BIOS Auto Mode
(there will be one greyed out tick too)

Restore (Normal)
Find your Entire Drive image
On the "Select the drive or partition(s) to restore:" screen
Select the SRP only
On the "Select where to restore the partition(s):" screen...
Right click the SRP and click Delete
Right click the Win8 and click Delete
Now you only have Free Space. Select the Free Space and continue
On the Options screen only have Log Results to File selected

Restore (Normal)
Find your Entire Drive image
On the "Select the drive or partition(s) to restore:" screen
Select the Win8 only
On the "Select where to restore the partition(s):" screen...
Select the Free Space under the SRP and continue
On the Options screen only have Log Results to File selected

I hope this will be the final attempt.

 

Good luck but I doubt it will work to fix PartInfo.

On the "Select the drive or partition(s) to restore:" screen you should have 3 empty boxes. HD and the two partitions. Remove the ticks if the boxes aren't empty and then select the SRP. You will then also have a greyed out tick in HD but Win8 won't be selected.

 

nope only one empty box. I will try the backup again tomorrow and make sure I do as you recommended.
thanks

 

For an Entire Drive backup...
On the "Select the hard drive or partitions to backup:" screen
Put a tick in HD 0
You should now see 3 ticks. HD 0, SRP and Win8.

 

what should the settings for the backup be. Froggie had me vary the settings to backup with rollback rx installed.

regards

 

just noticed your answer above. Getting tired. Backup is underway and I did see 3 checkboxes. So, we will see on restore.
thanks again

 

I am doing an "entire drive RAW" backup . That is what I am supposed to be doing, right? and In Windows. with no rollback.

 

No. Not RAW. In Options only have ticks in ..

Omit Page File Data
Omit Hibernation Data
Log Results to File

Use Enhanced Speed - A compression.

 

Here are my settings (No Rx)

 

Boot your IFW disk again
in IFW, click Settings, Geometry. Make sure you have ticks in...
Align Partitions on 1MiB Boundaries
Align MBR for BIOS Auto Mode
(there will be one greyed out tick too)

Restore (Normal)

On the "Select where to restore the partition(s):" screen...

ok, backup went fine. Now when I boot to the IFW boot disk, I have options to uncheck on the select drive to restore.

I have included your instructions above. I am confused at this point. Are you telling me to check srp and mbr1 (win8 part)? Then go to the next page (where to restore to) and remove the srp and win8?

then with correct options checked, do the restore?

 

here is the new partinfo. the 8 meg unallocated space is still there.

 

Yes, I know it is confusing but you have to do that to get to the "where to" screen. Then you have to restore the partitions individually to Free Space. If you restore them together it won't fix the partition offset issue. Did you restore them individually as two restores?

 

No I didn't restore them individually. However, I did use my partition manager to resize the partitions to the point that there is not unallocated space. Do you think that will work? i used Easeus Partition master.

 

Can you post another PartInfo?

 

here is is. Sorry for the long thread. Will start another in future.

 

Still no good. The offset for the SRP is 64. It should be 63 for cylinder alignment.

For the Win8 partition, 722928 divided by 16065 is not an integer so it isn't cylinder aligned either.

Sure, see you in a new thread.
