I received a new computer with window 10 media on a partition.
I deceived to first backup the new computer before setting up windows for the first time on the new pc.
I booted using the current Clonezilla live on a USB and used an external USB drive to store the image onto it.
I did not receive any errors during this process of creating a clone of the disk.
I rebooted the new computer and proceeded to set up the windows that were already installed by the vendor.
No issue with this step.
I decided to create another clone of the disk. This image has the clean install of windows.
No issue with booting up the computer into Clonezilla and performing a full disk clone and saving it to the external USB drive.
I wiped the drive with gpart and set up ubuntu to test. Once I was done with testing the Linux I wiped the drive with gpart.
When I try to do the disk restore this is where I ran into an issue.
I first did the disk restore of the image of the clean windows install.
I get the error when Windows 10 tries to load it is trying to recover.
Same issue with the other clone image.
The desktop has a recovery partition where it keeps the windows media that came from the vendor.
I tried all the different options to repair or recovery of windows but had no success. It can not find the media even if I brown to the recovery partition.
I was able to go into the command prompt and run diskpart and look at the partitions. I think the partitions are mixed up but I am not 100% sure
volume 0 F: was the cdrom
volume 1 C: was the system partition
volume 2 D: was the windows partition
volume 3 E: was the recovery partition marked as hidden.
Did anyone run into this issue of restore windows 10 before?
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply.
It is similar to that article but I was not getting that error code 0xc0000225.
I would get the "Automatic Repair couldn't repair your computer" message after trying a full erase or keep personal files options.
The article seems like a good place to start to have a go at it to manually repair.

"I get the error when Windows 10 tries to load it is trying to recover." -> Did MS Windows give any error code? Something like:

I went through that document. No success getting windows to recover.
I sure could use some help getting this desktop backup and running with out having to doing a clean install.
I need to recover the OEM windows key. Is there anyway to pull that off the image?
Maybe it's because the EFI boot files are broken. You can clean them and rebuild it. Check this doc:

Though it's for Win 8, but it should work for Win 10.
