I made a system image of my computer using the built-in Windows 7 tool. I attached the VHD in Disk Management, added the files that I wanted, and then detached the VHD. Every time I do a restore using a system repair disc with the same system image that I edited, my modifications are nowhere to be found. If I mount it back, the files are really there. This is driving me crazy.
Am I missing something?
Hi alpha304, welcome to 7F! :)
By your own admission it is possible, you can see them, but the windows backup program can not see them to add them; Yes, it is possible.
By any chance is the read only box checked, when the dialog box comes up to attach the VHD?
In the meantime I'm going to see if I can have some other members stop by to help.
Hello Anak and thank you for your reply. I don't think that's the issue, because the read only option is unchecked.
If you haven't done this, maybe manually restoring the added files would be an acceptable workaround.

That's good alpha, you're welcome; Thanks David, I knew we had that link in the tutorial section, but I couldn't remember how it was titled.
