I’m running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.<\/p>\n
I want to try to create ‘system image’ and then Restore it. In case it’ll work for me I’ll use for all my 20 PC’s.<\/p>\n
My PC has one drive C:<\/p>\n
I partitioned it and now I have C: and D: with a plenty of free space on each.<\/p>\n
What I did:<\/p>\n
1. Created ‘system image’ and stored it on D: Eventually I’ll use external drive for backups ( currently I don’t have it and just want to test that I could backup\/restore)<\/p>\n
2. Created ‘Repair disc’, then from it I created a bootable USB drive because some of my PC does not have CD ROM<\/p>\n
3. Boot machine from USB drive and select ‘Restore from system image’. It recognized that image is located on D: but immediately aborted Restore with this message:<\/p>\n
“The selected system image cannot be restored in this recovery environment.”<\/p>\n
Browsing various forums it looks that this message comes due to 32 bit Repair disc and 64 bit OS.<\/p>\n
Hence my 2 questions:<\/p>\n
1. Could my issue be related to the fact I am trying to restore not from external drive but from another partition?<\/p>\n
2. In case I do have an issue with 32 bit vs. 64 bit … and which point it could happened? I used Win 7 Enterprise to create that disc but I’m not sure if it default to 32 bit or 64 bit or it even gave me the option to choose from …<\/p>\n
Any suggestions?<\/p>\n
