Help needed after failed system re-image
My hard drive has been coming up with an error message saying I should back up my files for some time now, so I purchased a replacement drive in order to order to use a system image on. When making the system image, it twice failed with the error code 0x800070002, but on the third attempt it worked. When I began to apply the image to the new drive using a recovery disk however, it failed with this same error message.
Now whenever I try to boot up with the new drive I get the error message 0xc000000f telling me that I need to insert the Windows 7 disk. I have tried to so as at this stage I would be fine to just do a clean installation on the new hard drive but due to the failed system re-image, the windows disk will not boot. It seems to attempt to load the disk but just cycles back to the same error screen. I can still boot the recovery disk but this seems of little help.
I would be very grateful for any assistance that could be offered to me here, whether it be how to somehoe do the clean install of windows with my new HD or ideally how to successfully do the re-imaging if it is at all possible.
