@Brian K I also found out how to boot a cloned USB drive without running the IFW usbboot script. You have to enable USB drivers to load early...
@Brian K I finally got my VHD to show in my F11 boot menu. Just to refresh you, my cloned VHD is sitting on my H: normally. I have already...
So....what do I have to do to make this work for me? My clone of C: doesn't show in my F11 menu.
So you made a new vhd, simulated C: failure, created uefi partitions on a new disk, copied the new vhdx to the main partition, attached the disk...
I vaguely remember that we may have to boot into the VHD and then run "bcdboot c:\windows". That may do it.
Yes, you are right. My VHD is not showing after pressing F11 and getting into the boot menu. I did get the choice when the Windows boot menu comes...
That's interesting. I'll let you know what happens here later.
My VHD is another internal so it should be there. I'll try tonight when shutting down.
Yes, I agree, I was saying that IFW knew the image was from a C drive backup and did not want to restore that to a currently running C drive, the...
That may be true. I would have to test it by taking out my m.2 C drive I guess. Pressing F11 (for me) should bring up my boot device menu at...
I made a boot menu item using this command "Bcdboot D:\windows" where D is the VHD drive letter when mounted. I get the menu just before Windows...
@Brian K I'm trying another method of backup using a VHD as a restore disk sort of. I created a VHD on another m.2 drive, cloned C: to it with...
Brian. I tried the clone/copy again on 2 more drives and it works fine. I also tried to do the fix manually instead of running the script. From...
Is that a bug TB should fix?
So even when my system is uefi, IFW still worked OK. Should I have purchased IFU instead of IFW?
That could be fixed easy but Tom has his reasons I guess. Maybe because of the disk signature collision. DS probably doesn't change the signature...
I meant to ask you what's the difference between IFW and Bootit uefi?
Even to an external usb drive? What's the theory behind that?
I did the copy mode with the script after just like you said.
Anyone tried restoring a Win10 image to an external usb drive and then tried to boot from it? I just got it to work using IFW. I would like to see...
Great, thanks. I'm reading your thread about failed uefi restores to a new drive -...
Well, success! Thanks a lot for all your help Brian! No problem this time, although last time I went into the BIOS to select the boot drive, but...
OK, I just updated my BIOS to the latest. It was 2 versions out of date. It went well. Question - I read that to make a clone (or an image?) that...
Brian, I got delayed editing a video so I'll try tomorrow.
Thanks, I'll try it tonight
