Ok...this is odd!
A little off-topic but I tried to shrink my ssd (which is 512 GB with 405,05 GB free and the size of available shrink space is only 4324 MB !!!!). Please see the pic! | My System Specs |

That is normal. The MFT (master file table) is sitting high up in the partition and Disk Management cannot move it. If you want to shrink more, you have to use the bootable CD of Partition Wizard. That can move the MFT. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

Ok whs, I will see that later thanks!
About the restore process..!
I got this message (please see pic) after booting from the DVD, and I pressed NO!
Went to the main Macrium Restore screen and I choosed the image I wanted to restore and I draged to the partition I had created before! Et voilá, restore complete and sucesseful (The folders I removed from the partition were there after the restore  ).
One thing I found (confirmed!) is that the USB 3.0 do not work for the restore process, only for the backup.
Thanks a lot for all this  .
Is this the expected behavior right?
Now let me see what is happening with my ssd !
Cheers,
paulo

About your tip "Test the rescue CD, now, make sure it works"...(sorry I'm a newbie) how can I do that? Any sugestion? This CD only works to my computer right? I've finished to install Macrium in my desktop at work too!
Cheers,
paulo This rescue CD/DVD has:
standard usb and ide and sata drivers. Same as Windows 7 install dvd.
so should work on any computer.

Hi,
After pressing NO, no USB was installed and I could restore from a USB 2.0 external hdd! But if I use a hdd connected to a USB 3.0 I cannot see it ans, of course, cannot restore from/to it!
I do not know if that message (picture) is normal or not, but in my system it appears in all the experiments I did!
Is any possibility to use USB 3.0 for the restore?

Look at your restore screen, click on restore upper left. You have the choice of the drive to choose from and all the images. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

With Macrium 5.0.4995 (and later), the USB3 is supposed to work. I have not yet been able to test that because my systems here in Germany have no USB3. When I am back in FL in Nov., I'll check it out.
Maybe someone else who has USB3 could clarify. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

paulo usb3.0 is possible if you use macrium 5 and use the winpe rescue disk (not linux) | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number ACER ASPIRE 5742G OS Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits 7601 Multiprocessor Free Service Pack 1 CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz Motherboard Acer Aspire 5742G Memory 4,00 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series Sound Card (1) AMD High Definition Audio Device (2) Realtek High Defi Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 x 32 bits (4294967296 colors) @ 60 Hz Hard Drives WDC WD5000BEVT-22ZAT0 Macrium Reflect Free ...I'm in :-) problems?
