I believe so and again thank you so much for your invaluable time and help in tracking this down. This thread will hopefully help others if they...
Bookie is out of pocket. I did the following using the Copy operation in IFW (only slightly concerning thing that may have scuppered it was IFW...
Went down the bookies and they gave me 70/30 against ... doing it now
So is it not a good idea to make sure this driver is present before doing the imaging? OSD tools seems to be pretty useful in that case....
But surely when windows boots normally it accesses the nvme ok but from a restored image it's still going through the same boot process. I'm...
Thanks Brian , I have to take it all back :-) You know I've done so many tests and operations that I've confused myself over which combinations...
So sadly I cannot confirm that this is the problem or the fix unless I buy the package. There are several things that come to mind. 1) What about...
All that amazing space and the outback yeah! I seem to have had some success. First step is probably irrelevant but I did the following: From...
Plenty of family there but I've never been and would love to actually.
Ok that might be a good place to leave this then . can you just tell me how to uninstall BIBM gracefully from the SSD as I'll stick the nvme back...
Good on ya mate :-) Good to see that some governments handled it in a timely fashion. We are somewhere between America and some parts of EU that...
hmm, When bootit boots and you have : BOOT | MAINTENANCE | DIRECT BOOT Boot = inaccessible boot device Direct boot (choosing SRP-2a) = Recovery...
No but currently the m.2 out of the sytem. I didn't really do anything other than install BIBM but now intoead of the EMBR error I am back to...
Win 7 is always successful. It was Win 10. In my initial post I thought I had done it successfully but later on as we were going through various...
No I don't think the inaccessible boot device actually prints a number Except that I did the test which was from the 850 to the 860 and it still...
Ugh this is going from bad to worse. After the second restore I tried swap off and swap on but not getting inaccessible boot device despite the...
Yes - it was looking so hopeful up until now....
Ok
I didn't see anything in the IFL boot other than IFL itself. I think I ticked some options such as align and that might have done it since there I...
Not the 850
ok so now that edit got me back to INACESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. Going back to BCD edit to see if I missed something
n Ah ok .. I just expected it to boot as it did from the partition on the nvme but of course I had to do that then. BCD edit looks ok but what...
Hehe not so fast - spectacular fail when restoring to the 850. I think I can guess the solution however, I don't quite understand how it happened....
Thanks yes I realised this as that unallocated space shows as one block and I knew there were 2 partitions in it. I will be mindful of this to be...
Thanks had just sussed that I had to use fill but thanks for the explanation. I'll try the copy image now to the 850
