Macrium users: have you tried an image restore??
Yesterday I had a near disaster trying to upgrade to Thunderbird 3.0 email. System restore was no help and I thought I would have to restore a Macrium Reflect image.
I started the process and chose my C partition as the destination for the restore.
I got an error message saying the C partition was locked. My choices at that point were:
1: Reboot and select the C partition from a special menu
2: Exit and reboot using my previously made Macrium rescue disc to bypass Windows.
I tried the first choice and no menu came up--the system booted into Windows normally.
My only remaining choice was to use the rescue disk.
I didn't do that and was able to resolve my problem in other ways.
Is this normal behavior for Macrium restore attempts--being locked out of the C drive when in Windows and then not having access to the referred to menu when rebooting???
If so, I am skeptical about using this product over the long term.
