    Are you using the most current TBWinRE script (ver. 1.4)?

    Does booting into WinRE on the system work correctly from Windows 8?

    You can send me a PM if you want to and I'll try to help get it sorted out.

    Do "bcdedit" and "find" run okay from the Command Prompt? I notice you're using a different language version of Windows.

    Installed IFW 2.82 on a stand alone machine, Win7 Ultimate, standard BIOS.
    Created a WinPE ISO-file.
    Everything works fine doing a backup with default settings out of the box.
    The scary part:
    Too many confusing options.
    I'm hesitating to try a restore.
    Are those default settings "safe"? :doubt:

    guest,

    I just use the Default plus Validate options. (But you don't have to use the Validate options) The other Options are specialized and if they make no sense then you don't need them.

    Thank you for Feedback :thumb:

    The WinPE does not have any help files,
    makes it a bit more difficult to use.

    I'm a seasoned user of IFL/IFW and I'm still confused by the options too. I never have to use them, but I still wonder why they exist. Certainly there must be a reason why TeraByte included them?

    I'd love a more anecdotal explanation of them, and why you would use them in certain circumstances. About the only ones I use in backups is the align to 2048 and New Windows MBR since I have an SSD running Win7.

    I thought that when Windows 7 is installed on any hard drive (traditional or SSD) that the alignment to 2048 is the default. If you Restore a Windows XP Image to a SSD, I know that you must align to 2048 or Windows XP won't work properly.

    Please correct me, if I am wrong.

    That is correct if the installation is done to an unALLOCATED HDD.

    If a clean install is done to an existing partition, the alignment will be the same as the existing partition.

    No, XP wil run fine on a mis-aligned SSD, the SSD just won't perform as well as it can. This is also true of any OS installation done at a non-1024 alignment.

    A quick question about Image for DOS/ Linux...
    I can back an entire drive to a set of CD/DVD's. I can restore my entire system by booting from the first disk and so on. However, if I attempt to back up to an external USB hard drive, it will not let boot from that drive to start recovery. My BIOS is set to boot from USB.... is there something that I am missing?

    henryg,

    Your USB HD is not setup to boot IFL/IFD. It can be made to do so if you desire. Do you have BIBM?

    But practically, it's easier to boot an IFL/IFD disk and browse to the image on the USB HD.

    Brian, thank you for responding.
    So what you are saying is that I can can make a bootable USB flash drive just to start the recovery process?

    Thank you!
    So basically, I can use "makedisk.exe" to make a bootable USB flash drive.... Boot from the USB flash drive and then point to the external drive.

    to restore to a different pc , should i run osd

    remove all the drivers or remove all the drivers outside ACPI ?

    and the new drivers should download from my motherboard extract in a windows partition?
    i watched the video but it's the best

    i'm using image for linux , and where does it backup the registry?

    thanks

    mantra,

    The easiest way is to boot an IFL disk and run TBID Tool (second icon). I start with "Select a TBI Image File to restore". Use the options outlined in the video.

    The only driver you need to install is the Storage Controller one. Windows will boot and then reboot. The Windows drivers will install over the next few minutes and then it's time for your custom drivers.

    I put the Storage controller driver on a UFD but a Windows partition is fine.

    In IFL, right click on the desktop and choose TeraByte Explorer. You can access and edit the registry but not back it up. You can do a registry backup using savereg.tbs (but not in IFL).

    That means the Storage controller drivers are incorrect.
