Title: Can't restore my complete system to new pc. Help, Please.
Post by: dreadlocks on November 25, 2010, 10:28:39 PM
Hello.
I made/cloned a system image of my c and E drive, using Windows 7 backup and restore programme.  my system is windows 7 ultimate,  C (as usual) is my windows drive - consisting of 120GB data,  and E has my additional data (pics, music, etc drive.  E uses 1 terabyte of data.
This was backed up on an internal 1 TB drive. drive
I bought a new PC. This has a new blank but formatted 1.5 TB drive, and I want to restore my complete system (C and E) to the new computer.  I connected my 1 TB internal Sata "image" drive in the computer and tried to restore all my data. However, only my C drive keeps being restored. When started the computer recognizes both physical drives and shows me all the "image data". No it doesn't say it's corrupted.  It doesn't give me any options, just installs only the c drive and not the E.
What am I not doing?  Need help desperately.  Thanks for any assistance.
Lee.
