Hi no luck , we tried to restore the drive image to 1 partition without luck i will retry today , i will create image of the partitions and no of the entire drive thanks Brian
In post #1003 I said you couldn't unlock the BitLocker OS and use IFL. This is wrong and I did use dislocker in Linux to unlock the OS last year. The experience must have been so unpleasant that my brain compartmentalized the information. I made notes so for what it's worth, here they are (unedited)... sudo apt-get install gcc cmake make libfuse-dev libpolarssl-dev ruby-dev cd dislocker cmake make sudo make install DOESN'T WORK THIS install WORKS You can install polarssl and dislocker on Ubuntu 16.04 by following TuxDiary - dislocker: decrypt BitLocker encrypted volumes. Open the terminal and type: sudo apt-get install libmbedcrypto0 libmbedtls-dev libfuse-dev If git is not installed on your system you can install git by running the following command. Open the terminal and type: sudo apt install git Then you can install dislocker from source using git. Open the terminal and type the below commands. git clone https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker.git cd dislocker cmake . make sudo make install Now you can start using dislocker. It works fine. Mounting a Volume for Standard Use Much like mounting an E01 image under SIFT the mounting process for the bitlockered volume is a two stage process. Therefore you will require two directories to exist in the /mnt folder. I have used /mnt/bitlocker and /mnt/usb. In order to use the volume for normal everyday use I use the fuse driver along with the normal user password: sudo dislocker-fuse -V /dev/sdb1 -uPassword -- /mnt/bitlocker This creates a new block device at /mnt/bitlocker/dislocker-file, to which access is handled on the fly by the fuse drivers. If the user password is unknown it is possible to use the recovery password with the -p option or a BEK file with the -f option. Once this has been done you can then mount the new block device with the standard mount command: sudo mount /mnt/bitlocker/dislocker-file /mnt/usb -o loop Once mounted the volume can be accessed via the /mnt/usb directory and can be read from and written to normally. Another web site... root@kali:~# dislocker -v -V /dev/sdb1 -p275374-090651-082764-392205-130460-581966-062942-402083 -- /mnt/tmp root@kali:~# ls /mnt/tmp/dislocker-file root@kali:~# mount -o loop,ro /mnt/tmp/dislocker-file /mnt/dis root@kali:~# ls /mnt/dis/my super secret file.txt.txt $RECYCLE.BIN System Volume Information root@kali:~# cat /mnt/dis/my\ super\ secret\ file.txt.txt You got it! abc sudo dislocker -v -V /dev/sdc1 -u11111111 -- /mnt/tmp If the user password is unknown it is possible to use the recovery password with the -p option or a BEK file with the -f option. Once this has been done you can then mount the new block device with the standard mount command: sudo mount /mnt/bitlocker/dislocker-file /mnt/usb -o loop Once mounted the volume can be accessed via the /mnt/usb directory and can be read from and written to normally.
Hi Brian no , seeing i have not seen my friend i had no time to try it again thanks i will keep posted
Brian 3.12 is out may i ask you some questions? 1)Added /trim (TRIM) option to restore and copy operations. --> (what does it means?? ) perform a trim before the restore ? 2) just for curiosity , to restore a drive image to smaller drive , what settings should be used? thanks full changelog image for windows 3.12 Spoiler: Fixed regression introduced in 3.08 that could cause a deadlock at the end of a IFW GUI operation. Added /trim (TRIM) option to restore and copy operations. Expanded the Update Boot Partition (/ubp) option to include all NTFS partitions as well as active partition on the target drive. TBWinPE Builder: Fixes and enhancements. TBINotify: Added button to settings to turn off fast startup.

Mantra, I can't speak with authority on question #1, but I believe it does as you surmise... TRIM all SSD blocks about to be restored (Macrium REFLECT does this). The operation insures that the SSD doesn't wind up carrying around all that leftover DATA that was not TRIMmed by the OS prior to the restore operation. It's a very good feature...
The last few versions of TBOSDT Pro (included with IFW) have improved the ability to boot other OS partitions on GPT disks. For example, say you have IFL, TBWinPE/RE, WinPE or Linux partitions on a GPT disk. From your Win10 OS you can choose which of these partitions will boot on the next restart. You can also setup IFL, TBWinPE/RE to do auto backups/restores on the next restart. So a Win10 restore can be accomplished by single clicking (without a UAC prompt) a tile in the Start Menu.
Does anyone have any idea what this means. This is a new error I got this morning when I was trying to create a system disk image.
I did that but I'm still getting the same error screen. IFW seems to not like my new Kubuntu partition. Any ideas why, or how to fix it?
hi are you running with the last update of windows 10 ? do you skin under w10? can you post a screenshot with you settings ? i had a similar issue but i fixed in the settings
Nate, is that the 59.67 GB partition? It shows as RAW in Disk Management so something is drastically wrong with the partition.
Oh, from the other Unix board thread? If that's the case then I have no idea what "attempt" that was from (I've been trying several differt versions of the dual-boot.) Both Win10 and Kubuntu boot now, although I'm not using the EFI method.
It's fixed now, and working properly. I wish I could tell you what it was that solved the issue for me. I do know it was not IFW settings or Windows settings, since those remained constant. The only thing I can think of it that there was some disk configuration it did not like; the Linux partition being before a Windows partition perhaps.
Hello, First a little background... On my old legacy BIOS system, I used IFW as my primary backup solution and Macrium as a secondary. In November of last year, I got a new system and it is UEFI. Due to both the busy holiday season and health issues, I have only been using Macrium on the new system up to now. I just installed IFW today and I am beginning whatever learning curve that is required to use it on an UEFI system as I have only used it on a legacy BIOS system previously. Now for the questions... Is there anything in IFW settings that I need to be concerned about or change? Is there anything in either the backup options or restore options that I need to be concerned about or change? I have left the IFW settings at default. I added "Create Sector Hash Files" and "Create Metadata Hash Files" to the backup options. I also added "Metadata Based Restore" to the restore options. Are the changes I made correct to do fast incrementals/differentials? Any other settings and/or options that I need to change? I do not think this makes a difference but my OS drive is a SSD and the drive that I backup to is a standard hard drive. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated...
puff-m-d, Sounds good. In Settings, General tab, I also have "Use Directory Data in Metadata Hash". In Settings, Geometry tab, put a tick in "Align Partitions on 1MiB Boundaries". This is for restores and not anything to do with Backups. With an OS on a GPT drive, Entire Drive backups/restores are the easiest method.
Hello @Brian K, Thanks for the reply... I initially was going to select this setting myself but the user manual was vague to me as far as its explanation. I assume that I leave "Align MBR for BIOS Auto Mode" checked also? Do I remember something about some setting/option for restoring first track that should be checked?
It's not essential but seems a good idea. Yes. You only need this if doing a partition restore to a new drive. Not if restoring a partition to the same drive or restoring an Entire Drive image to a new derive. In IFW/IFL Settings, make sure these are selected, they probably will be defaults... Automatic Scaling Restrictions Automatic Boot Partition Update Confirm this... Align Partitions on 1MiB Boundaries for IFL
Has anyone tried ProtectIt? I never selected it. It really isn't something that I would expect to need. I have my images on a second internal hard drive, and they also backup to a third internal hard drive with Bvckup 2.
I tried it but don't use it anymore. You have to create your images in the \TeraByte_TBI_Backups folder. http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/ucf/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2742
I didn't think it would be the sort of thing that I would be interested in, Brian. I try to keep light and minimalistic. I travel light.
