    Also another area I'm digging in to is acpi registry entries; Any changes made there would not be applied during a Macrium Recovery Disk boot-up, correct?
    Correct.

    Update:

    I 'loaded drivers' during Recovery Disk start-up, but the problem still occurs: After 6min 52sec, power save mode initiated.

    Yesterday, I also received notification that Macrium patch # 5.1.5529 was available. In hopes of stumbling upon a fix I installed the patch, burned a new WinPE Rescue Disk and rebooted. Nada... power save mode kicked-in at 7minutes 50sec.

    Is there a WinPE expert here who can answer this question:

    Is it possible to customize my Macrium WinPE Rescue Disk/USB to prevent Power Save Mode from automatically activating when I attempt to restore an image?

    If you can get to your Control Panel, go into Power Options and in Change Plan put everything to "Never".

    bigmck, thank you. I originally thought the settings in control panel (Power Options), may have been causing this problem. However, I was informed by whs that the settings used during normal startup in Windows 7 are not the same settings that are used when the rescue disk boots-up (I already had mine set to "Never" any way).

    The BIOS was the next logical place to look and I did that as well. I have two options in the BIOS, S1 or S3; The default setting is S3, but I tried both to no avail.

    I've searched high and low, and I'm now exploring whether a WinPE custom solution (if it's even possible), might be the answer I'm looking for. When not booted-up in the rescue mode, I have no problem with the Power Save Mode. So here's what I'm thinking: If there is a way to customize the power configuration in my WinPE rescue disk to mirror the normal Windows 7 start-up power configuration, I might have a solution.

    I am pretty sure that the WinPE is just one way and that is it. Did you try putting your Power Options to Never? It is worth a try.

    You can try disabling S1, S2, and S3 in BIOS until you get the imaging done.

    I'm a bit puzzled here. When you run Winpe this in effect is a totally different mini Windows OS to your normal Windows environment. This would suggest that some power saving mode set in the BIOS is the culprit. I would support the comments made re S1, S2, S3 above. Also check to see if your BIOS has another power saving option.

    I'm getting the same consistent results with Macrium Reflect Free, imaging times are around ~22mins and recovery times take 5x as long at ~1hr 35mins.

    I just remembered I have a OEM version of Acronis True Image HD what was included with my purchase of a OCZ Vector SSD and I compared ATI HD to other ATI versions and it has everything I need, full backup, disc cloning and GPT support.

    I installed ATI HD, rebooted and performed a image, time ~23mins. Recovery was just as fast coming in 24mins 38secs.

    I'm starting to think there's specific drivers that need to be loaded with the WinPE disc. What I don't get is how everyone else here seems to have no issues with recovery using whs's provided WinPE build without loading any drivers. Gonna figure out how to load drivers and see if that makes any difference.

    I have done a few image restores in the past few days. I tried with and without loading drivers but the time stayed about the same to restore an image. I really didn't need them, just experimenting on my own.

    This was with WHS's WinPE and another I made on my own after Macrium had a patch.

    I don't use a Win PE Disc.

    I normally run Macrium from inside my OS.
    If I want to reimage W7, I run Macrium from XP.

    I've only used the Linux Recovery Disc, when I have bought a new HDD.
