System Image File error
Ok, this is really gonna sound very very complicated. But I will explain to you one by one.
I have this laptop with Windows 7 as the operating system and with a capacity of 500 GB. My HDD was making loud noises and weird noises so I brought it to the shop and they told me to change the HDD because it might die anytime. So I did a full backup on my external hardisk, meaning that I cloned my laptop.
I changed my 500gb HDD with a 240gb SSD. And when I tried to restore my backup files into the new drive, there's an error:
"no disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found".
So I did some research on the internet and found out the reason of the error : it's because the image created was from a bigger drive than the new drive I put into my laptop. Even though my backup files are only about 100gb, I still cant restore it to my 240gb SSD because the image created was from my 500gb HDD.
Now I am trying to fix this, do you think this will work?
I am going to copy my backup files into an external hardisk with a capacity of 200gb and then backup from that drive and then I will restore it into my 240gb SSD. Will the backup file be considered as a backup from the 200gb drive or from the original 500gb HDD?
