    How to restore SystemImage taken in Win7 /Win8 dual boot environment


    Hi y'all

    Lately I have added Win8 to my Win7 x64 PC, so it is now dual-boot.
    After that I have taken an Image of the system drive(s) using the built-in imaging function of Win7.
    Now in trying to restore this Image file I had to realize that both Win7 AND Win8 using their built-in restore functions refuse to write back that image file

    Of course, from now on I will use 3rd party software for that,
    but is there any way I still might succeed?



    (attached is my systemdrive layout)

    Thanx in advance, eXPerimentator

    Well thanx very much. This seems 2 B quite tough.
    I didn't plan 2 dig so deep into the matter but maybe I will.

    Anyone has an easier solution?
