    It's clear you don't have a driver on the WinPE for the storage device you're trying to use. When you disabled IRST, and the System switched to AHCI, your currently installed LIVE System was not set up for AHCI. If it's not too much trouble, I would turn off any IRST references in your BiOS (that's usually for a RAID configuration) and rebuild w/W11 into an active AHCI-based System. If your not gonna use any sort of RAID configuration, that would be best.

    Enabling AHCI resolved the issues. Thank you!

    I use MR as my primary backup image tool, so I haven't used or ran Hasleo since April. Upon running the application today, I ran into an error message (attached). It then asked me to save a log file. Should I reinstall the program or is there someplace where I can send the log file that was created/saved?

    @Alexhousek - since I've seen references to that error in Hasleo's Forum, I would start by updating the version you are using first to see if you still have the error. If that doesn't work, you can send your screengrab and that ZIP file to support@easyuefi.com.

    FYI--updating the Hasleo version worked. I will note that the update required that the previous version be uninstalled first.

    @Alexhousek - The uninstall of the previous version will not affect any task definitions you may have set up prior to the uninstall.

    hi, i would like create a system backup but i need some info.
    I linked the screenshoot of the steps, for me is much easy to explain ;)

    https://postimg.cc/GTHX6Lj5
    i cant select recovery partition

    so i select disk/partition backup for this task
    https://postimg.cc/McSrX8Wn

    if i need restore the system in the same location but avoid "Dati" partition
    https://postimg.cc/Mcm3QrTd

    Does the restore process clean the "Dati" partion ?
    Unallocated partition mean that the partition will be deleted ?
    i want keep this :thumbd:

    The process you are describing will destroy the "Dati" partition. I have asked the Devs for a change in this area but it has not been forthcoming to date. The only way to avoid this issue, currently, is to use individual partition restorations... that process is not destructive to existing partitions unless the partition mapping is different between the image and the target disk.

    @al3xwild

    I have also been in communication with Hasleo about this issue some months ago, after not noticing the fact that a partition would be destroyed. They said the feature would come in the next update, and apologized ever so humble, as only asians do, that it was not present in the program now.

    I wonder if the last item includes fixing the "partition destruction" discussed here in the thread, that would really improve the usage of HBS.

    It's easy enough to test... I'll let the thread know.

    Thanks @pb1 and @TheRollbackFrog for your help with the change log!

    Appreciate that, sounds like they have made some good improvements.

    I wondered also about the restore partition issues that have been mentioned. When I do restores, I usually just restore the OS partition
    unless I have a reason to do a complete disk restore such as me screwing something up. :D

    I hope Hasleo improved this feature.

    Looking forward to your thoughts TRF. You guys have a great weekend!

    Tested and nothing has changed in this area. When you do a disk/partition image and don't select all the partitions, that's what winds up in the image. When you do a restore, your choices are DISK or PARTITION. PARTITION only lets you restore 1-partition at a time, and if it's to the original disk, it will not affect other partitions on that disk. Using PARTITION mode will allow you to restore all your partitions, one at a time, to the original disk in a non-destructive mode.

    When using DISK mode restores, you get what you ask for... all the partitions in your image are restored to their original locations IN A DESTRUCTIVE way, meaning they're all restored but any other partitions on that same disk are wiped, after all it is a DISK restore. Any partition on that disk not included in the image will be wiped upon restore.

    Sounds like logical behaviour when you explain it like that. Possibly just needs a few warnings on what is to happen with your selections.

    Looks like we have a few options to booting with WinPE. [Official] Best Free Windows To Go Creator Wizard Helps Create Portable Windows 11/10/8/7! (easyuefi.com)

    Important results. I normally implement DISK (ALL Partitions) Restores and haven't had any issues despite the DESTRUCTIVE way. However i do see and favor now individual PARTITION restores avoiding the potential affect of destructing other partitions after restore.

    But doesn't individual Partition Restore take more time should you after first single partition restore repeat the process on a another partition within the same Disk?

    Well, that was unfortunate.
    As long as this is present, this soft will have a hard time to become wide spread among mainstream users, which i suppose they want since it is going to be paid in the future

    About the disk restore, the thing is, it does not even do a FULL disk image, as it says in the gui, so when it wipes everything it did not back up, it does something extra besides what it initially did. Something one do not have to expect that it should do. So this behaviour is inconsecvent and surprisingly destructive for a backup program.

    A warning, at least, should be prompted in some way.

    I'm confused. If you have 6 partitions on the Disk and you backup all 6 partitions and then restore all 6 partitions, that can't be a problem?

    :p @Brian K - of course it's not a problem:D.

    The basic problem is that when doing imaging (not file'n'folder stuff), Hasleo offers only 2-modes... System and Disks/Partitions. When restoring, it offers only 2-modes... Disk and Partitions. Imaging options are...

    o System: The usual partition group required for successful System BOOTing (EFI, MSP, OS & WinRecovery) automatically selected, no changes allowed.
    o Disks/Partitions: Allows the selection of whole disk or subset of partitions.

    Restoration options are...

    o Disk: When restoring a Disk/Partition image from above, all selected partitions are restored but in a destructive mode, i.e., any other existing partitions on the target disk not part of the restoration process are destroyed. It's restoring your partition subset as though it were the whole disk (and that's what a "disk" restoration is supposed to do). Whe restoring a System image, an option is offered (and set as DEFAULT) to return those partitions to the original disk without destroying any previously unimaged partitions. This works as described.
    o Partitions: allows the individual selection of any single partition in any image to be restored, it does not allow multiple selected partitions to be restored... and this single partition restore to its original location is also non-destructive.

    As you can see there is a bit of inconsistency here. Users would like to take images of any kind (whole disk or partition subset) and return any selected subset of partitions in that image to their original locations non-destructively. Currently this may only be done via the Partition restoration mode one partition at a time, rather than a selected group of partitions like is done with a System image.

    The tools are all here, they're just not offered in a flexible manner...
