    Version 10 build 4942

    Upgraded to a new Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook (Vista Ultimate 32-bit) and can not restore an image form within Windows.

    The machine reboots after initiating a restore from withing Vista Ultimate, but after the reboot it hangs in the GUI.

    There's disk activity for 20 minutes or so, but the restoration doesn't start. Eventually the screen locks up.

    Same if I boot from the Rescue Disk.

    I had no such problem on previous Dell Inspiron 9400 notebook running Vista.

    Do I need to upgrade to v11?
    Is it likely that the Dell junk partitions are causing a problem?

    Help!

    I never had ATI 10, but never had a successful restore with ATI 11.

    Do a search on this forum for mustang's free guide for vistaPE, make a vistaPE disk with ATI on it, following his guide, and forget about those ATI11 bootCDs forever. It won't fixc the bugs that are in ATI but it will avoid the problems with the linux OS that ATI puts on its bootCDs, which are most often the reason for problems where you can backup (in windows) but you can't restore (from the BootCD). You don't have to own vista to be able to build the vistaPE disk--you can get the vistaPE image free from Microsoft -- check Mustang's guide for details.

    I've imaged all partitions on my 1st HDD, but I'm only trying to restore the OS partition. I verified the image during backup and before trying to restore.
    Tried restoring from within Windows and using the boot CD.

    I'll give that a try, but I can't restore from within Windows or from the boot CD.
    Hacks me off. Never had a problem with ATI before that wasn't fixed with an updated build. Now when I really need it ... :mad:

    Have you tried the quiet acpi=off noapic option detailed in Section II of the PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST thread?

    Did you try the Safe Mode (SafeMedia) version of TI? On some newer computers, you can access USB hard drives using the Safe Mode version, though usually at USB 1 speeds. If the Safe Mode works and you have room for the image on another internal partition, you could copy it there and then restore to the OS partition at a decent speed.
