... I'm back and the test went well. It took 11:59 (see snip).
Two issues only to report; I will include in the next post.

Issue #1 -- Power Save Mode: Approximately 7 minutes in to the first two attempts, I received a message that stated "Entering Power Saving Mode" (see snip). I do not understand why this occurred. I turned off hibernation and ensured my Power Options were set to "Never." I'm not really sure how I got through this: During the second try I kept moving my mouse around but that didn't help. On the third and successful attempt I turned on my external HDD at 5 minutes in and then instead of just moving the mouse around I actually slid the Macrium bar (circled in yellow in the snip), every 10-15 seconds.
There's probably a better way to deal with this, so if you know what it is, please advise.

Final post about the test, regarding Issue #2 -- an ApplePhotoSreams.exe error. This showed up the first time I booted back in to the newly imaged C: drive, and again when I tried to access the iCloud control panel. I'm not sure what happened, but I rebooted one more time and it disappeared and has not returned. Should I be concerned?
If not, other than the Power Save issue, (which I'm still open for recommendations), I'm good, and ready to move on to my wife's laptop, a Dell XPS M1330.
Thanks for all of your help!

The issue #1 I do not get. Was that whilst you were operating from the WinPE CD.
And regarding issue #2 I am completely lost. What is this rotten Apple stuff.

Yes, I used a WinPE USB... and the Power Save messages occurred approximately 7 minutes in to the 'restore image' process.
I should have mentioned that upon entering the power save mode, the monitor goes blank and the computer becomes un-responsive, necessitating a reboot.

Regarding the rotten Apple stuff, I really don't know. I just recently started using the Photostream through Apple's iCloud when I upgraded my phone to an iPhone. That problem seemingly has gone away...

That was the first place I looked... I have two options under the ACPI Power Mgmt Setting in the BIOS: "S1" or "S3";
S3 is the default and from an online search, that appears to be correct setting for me. I will keep searching.

Whatever settings you made in your Win7 does not count because the WinPE is running on it's own mini Win7. So it can only come from the BIOS.

Can we be absolutely certain that the Restore was conducted under the control of the WinPE Boot Rescue.
A RESTORE can be launched via Macrium running under Full Windows (placing code in RAM)
or via the built in "Recovery Boot Menu Option",
in addition to the WinPE Boot Rescue,
and the screen shows very little difference.
A few years ago I had some doubts,
and after extensive testing found that my chosen mechanism was not properly installed and it was falling back to one of the alternatives.
