System image restore on empty external drive
No, thats not my problem to backup user files.
I want to know what I do in case of a complete disk failure.
Do I have to the buy the same disk (manufacturer, size, model) as my current
internal hard disk ?
It seems to me that the Microsoft restore has in its image backup information
about the disk from which it backups. But I only can assume this.
I tried to cheat the restore program by putting my external target disk 1st in the
boot sequence of the BIOs, but this did'nt work. So the proposal with the SATA
connections seems the only possibility to get my backuped running system on
a new empty disk.
