Isn't this logical that if you have a 100-200 meg partition you wouldn't restore your boot OS onto it, if I understood correctly?The mistake would be to ignore the warning WHS refers to. IE, if you have the 100 or 200 mb partition, "you must not mark the C partition as active nor must you check restore MBR during the restore phase. Rather mark the partition as primary and answer the MBR question with do not replace. Else, your restored system will become unbootable.
The same applies to a double booted system where the MBR resides on a different partition."
What is Adaptive Restore called in Macrium ? Paragon Adaptive Restore from what I read from other users seems to work next to if not perfectly. You can backup Windows7, change motherboard then reinstall Windows7 with Adaptive Restore and it works perfectly. Over this one feature I'm deciding over Paragon or Macrium, as WHS mentioned the other programs like Paragon are a little more complex compared with Macrium, did he do a tutorial on this and I'd like to hear WHS honest opinion on Paragon ?You can do it with the paid version of Macrium, too. Like Acronis - it as an extra you have to pay for separately.
You can also do it with the paid versions of Paragon imaging programs - they were the first to develop Adaptive Restore - the others followed suit, of course.With Paragon, you don't need to pay extra - it is included.
