This reminds me of the HPA (Host Protected Area) Dell (and others) used to use 15 years ago. A portion of the disk becomes inaccessible. I've no...
In "This PC" what size is the G: drive. If you have any USB flash drives plugged in, remove them. Only have the external HD plugged in.
Before you start, change the Label of the external HD from New Volume to External. This makes it easier to identify in Diskpart.
Samy, thanks for the screenshots. That is weird. Maybe a Disk Management issue. Do you have a WinPE media, DVD or USB? I'd like you to run...
samy, Can you post a screenshot of Disk Management?
samy, I suggest deleting the partition. Then create a new partition, NTFS. If the new partition doesn't have a drive letter, assign one.
I use Robocopy for my data backups. It can do amazing things.
But it seems @Rilla927 wants to delete the primary files.
I'm confused. If you don't have two identical files, you don't have a backup.
This thread contains the relevant backup/restore scripts. Tested.
This tutorial on IFL branched into more complex areas. Most people using IFL will simply use standard IFL boot media to create and restore images...
The trial BIU doesn't have scripting.
I don't use UFDs for restores. I have an IFL partition on the SSD which boots and does the restore. Also a TBWinRE partition. You need BootIt UEFI...
Lots of distros. With BootIt UEFI you could have all of those OS on your HD/SSD. Boot which ever one you want.
Great. Many thanks. Out of interest, if your next restore boots into Windows and not the grub menu, you could use this to fix the Boot Option...
Try this. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\TeraByte Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite\TeraByte OSD Tool Suite Pro\win Right click tbosdtw64.exe...
moredhelfinland, Your BIOS wasn't naughty this time. Manjaro is first in the list.
I've seen it occasionally with my BIOS when restoring Linux partitions. But certainly not frequently. Changing the Boot Option Priorities fixes it...
To remove the obsolete entries you can select them and Disable. I suspect you have a "naughty" BIOS. When you restore an image your BIOS changes...
If you are still booting into Windows without seeing grub, don't do a restore, just get into the BIOS and check Boot Option Priorities.
Can you try this? After a restore and the failed grub menu, get into your UEFI/BIOS and find Boot Option Priorities. What are the first 2 or 3 items?
For what it's worth. IFL runs in RAM so as soon as the restore commences you can remove the flash drive. If you have --rb:4 you will restart into...
My mistake. Your script should be... sub main()<cr> exec("/tbu/imagel --r --uy --d:l0 --f:l0@0x5:^"/IFW W10/pb1*^" --sp:0x1,0x2,0x4,0x6 --wco...
Immediately after the restore the computer shuts down. You don't have to do it. Then press the power button to start the computer and I'm hoping...
--rb:8 is Shutdown.
