That batch file works in my computer but not yours. Where do we differ? We have different images. My image is on a NTFS internal HD and yours is on a FAT32 USB flash drive. I'm using Win8.11. You are probably more handsome.
True, I'm going to try using an NTFS flash drive to see if that changes anything .. My OS on the test system is Win 8. Not sure on the handsome bit lol.
CJMFugazi, When do you see that error? Before the restore commences or after it has completed? I restored an image stored on the Macrium FAT32 UFD. No problems.
When restoring all partitions to the same HD, this is all that is required.... diskrestore.exe D:\Temp\abc.mring -r To restore the second partition only.... diskrestore.exe D:\Temp\abc.mring -r -p 2 To restore to a different HD..... diskrestore.exe D:\Temp\abc.mring -r --targetid newDiskID
Before it commences. This is really bugging me, as it seems you are not having the same problems as I am. I think I am going to start from scratch with a complete new image and see what happens - even though the image I have works perfectly fine for Reflect itself.
That is a good idea. It is a weird situation. Reflect restore works manually but not from the command line.
Well I did a complete new image saved onto an external HD (NTFS), re-wrote the Batch file and still the problem occurs .. I am now officially stumped.
CJMFugazi, I've given up. I'm only one step ahead of you and I'm not satisfied either. I wanted to completely automate the restore process, but couldn't. I used DISM to edit winpeshl.ini in boot.wim but despite having diskrestore.exe auto running from the boot disk, it "couldn't find the path" to the backup image even though the correct path was in the batch file. I use software that easily does automatic restores so I'll move on from auto restores in Macrium. By the way, timeout.exe isn't present in the Macrium boot.wim.
Sounds like it may be one of those 'things' that simply cannot be done . .which is a pain as all my images have been taken using Reflect.
No luck. "Unable to load image file". I could select the image manually and it worked but not from the batch file.
How weird .. I wonder does it have anything to do with not being able to locate the image file due to drive letter assigning. Perhaps put a small file onto the HD where your image is and then use FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\USBDrive.TXT SET USB=%%i:%USB% to set the correct drive letter?
The correct drive letter and path did show in diskrestore.exe but I got the error. I clicked the Browse button and selected the same path and it worked. Sounds like a batch file error. I used Active@Boot Disk. From a USB flash drive. You can put a batch file in a folder called BootDisk_Scripts and it will run when the WinPE has loaded. My restore.cmd in that folder was... CD /d %~dp0 C: CD Temp diskrestore.exe C:\Temp\def.mring -e -g -u --reboot The HD backup partition was assigned C: drive in the WinPE. I knew this because I'd previously booted the WinPE.
how about forcing a reassignment of the HD Backup to something like Y: and then try the restore, it could be that diskrestore is trying to restore to the same HD/Partition that the image is on.
How Weird!!!!! I currently have a ticket raised with Macrium Support on the issue, so any responses I get I'll pass on here.
Its $90 for 4 PCs. But there's only two of us. So choice is 2x single or 1x family of 4. And even better Brian K came to my rescue yesterday solved my issues with Terabyte. Wonderful chap. A champion of our Forum 4 sure.
the price has gone up a good amount over the last couple years. i also bought the family pack a while back for much less then 90$ then i just paid the upgrade price this time around instead of the full price for it.
only one i see currently is the 20% off one which imo is still a bit high compared to what they used to charge. i actually would love to get another family pack im hoping at some point they run the 40-50% off they did last year
