Hugh:
Since my last post in this thread, I booted from my Macrium rescue disk and was able to select the image file I made a few weeks ago. I went as far as I could in that Linux environment without clicking the final button that would have actually begun a restore.
All looked OK to that point.
You can't be sure without going beyond that point, which I did not want to do because all is currently well on my PC.
If I get in an otherwise insoluble jam that system restore cannot resolve, I would boot from that disc and actually attempt the restore and then hope it works.
That's about all you can do--you can't "test" it without restoring and I am not about to risk a working system to satisfy my curiosity.
I have made an Acronis image as well to give me another fallback position.
