I'm trying an image recovery to a dell inspiron n7110 with a new ssd
I created a win 7 repair dvd and a system image to a seagate freeagent go external drive.
I then removed the keyboard and cover to access the hdd, removed wd 750gb hdd and replaced with an hp ssd m700 2.5 240 gb
the wd hdd had about 160gb used and the remainder free
i shrunk the volume on the seagate freeagent drive as much as recomended, but it's still slightly larger than the available space on the ssd. The only file on this drive is the windowsimagebackup.
next, i ran the win7 repair disk and attempted a system image recovery.
the image is recognized, but:
"the system image restore failed
no disk that can be used for recovering the system can be found"
not sure why this is happening...any advice appreciated.
