OK, understand. That might be a quirk with the Linux recovery CD. I recently found out that it has quite a few restrictions.
I suggest you burn the WindowsPE recovery DVD from Macrium. That is a bit lengthy (like more than 1 hour) because it will download a 1.7GB Microsoft installer. But the WinPE DVD gives you more options. Sorry, I should have known that before, but I did not. And this now is a DVD and not a CD.
ok yes I understand, I keep forgetting that part.
the download fails every time i download the microsoft 1.6gb file at the very end. Would you happen to know a direct link from microsoft where i can download that file?
Download and install it. Then you can refer to it during the WinPE production. Sorry you are having all these problems. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5753
ok, i made it to this point and got past everything else successfully. I was just curious which drive i load the backup to?
You drag it to your C: disk. Are you now on your system that is defunct - because I do not see your C: disk.
