| | Error - Windows cannot restart into recovery environment When I use the backup utility in the control panel, and try to restore an image, at the point where I hit restart, I get the message - windows cannot restart into recovery environment. Has anyone ever seen this message (it's the first time I've seen it). Anyone have any ideas what may be causing it? |

| | Hi brian, thanks. I am familiar with how to do backups and restores (at least the basics of disc image backup), I've done them many times but I can't figure out why in this case I'm getting this error now. |

| | Hi, thanks for the info. I saw this article but what it refers to is trying to boot into repair from the manufacturer DVD. Where I actually get the error is within windows itself going through the restore system image wizard. When I click restart I get the error. Also, I didn't install from a manufacturer DVD, it's an OEM Windows 7 home premium disk. |

| | Don't see anything in event viewer related. Thanks for the help. I think I am going with acronis true image home 2011....i just saw it on newegg for $4.99 after rebate! Unfortunately I can't trust the windows backup. It has always been reliable on my htpc, I don't know why it's not on my desktop. |

| | Funny, many in the forums said Windows Backup & Restore, though limited, works reliably. Personally, I use TI2011. Even though it's becoming more bloated, backup/restore has always worked flawlessly via the boot cd. If you can get it for so cheap, why not. |

| | I should actually correct myself. I am a little concerned only because of this error message, BUT, it is possible to boot into recovery using the Windows 7 install disk and do a restore (which I did and it works). For whatever reason, I get this error if I try to initiate the process through windows. So I wouldn't say the backup in itself is unreliable. Just seems like there is a bug (possibly) in the process in windows. |
