    Macrium Reflect serious problem on the second restore run


    Hello,

    After reading a few recommendations for drive imaging software on this forum, I installed Macrium Reflect 6.1, free edition. I made an image of my Samsung SSD 840 system drive onto my 1TB regular drive. The image was of a clean Win 7 install + software I use every day. I then created a rescue usb disk, installed some extra software on my SSD drive and did a test restore of the image back onto SSD drive and that seemed to go without a hitch.

    Now I am thinking that Macrium and my image work fine, I proceed to install Autodesk Inventor onto my SSD drive but then discover that Inventor interferes with another program previously installed (Sandboxie) so I decide to revert back to my clean image. I boot from rescue USB, choose image to restore and click finish. To my horror, an error pops how Macrium encountered serious error and needs to close and that I should email dump file to the developers.

    How is this possible? I already restored from the image not even 24 hours prior to the error. The image verifies fine in Macrium. I also have run parity check on the image and it is the same it was the moment it was created (I created par files right after I created the image). The hard drives are the same drives with same partitions as they were when the restore job worked. I even created another USB rescue disk thinking that the original might be corrupted but that didn't help. I emailed dump file and details about the problem to Macrium support but have received auto reply that I am out of luck with free edition.

    The only thing that comes to my mind is that somehow when I did 1st restore, Macrium messed partitions on my SSD somehow preventing further restorations. But then Win 7 boots fine so I am not sure.

    Anyone has any idea? I am including a snapshot of my partitions.

    Thanks!

    Hello and welcome 2mc mate I think you will get a quicker response posting this in that tutorial Imaging with free Macrium as it is related if you got the info on how to do it from it.

    Why? It's better in its own thread surely. Isn't it better for a tutorial not to be inundated with problem posts?

    Ok fair enough it was just a thought as it is specific to Macrium
