I have built a Windows 8.1 installation that contains the software that it desired to be loaded on multiple machines as the standard installation. I ran sysprep on that installation and then successfully created an image of that drive. I was then able to successfully restore that image to another computer; however, when I tried to start that computer in Windows for the first time, I received the "Invalid Partition table" error message.
I have tried several different options when both creating the image and when restoring it but all attempts have yielded the same results. I can restore a Windows 7 image to this device without a problem. The source computer and the target computer are both Dell Latitude 3340 notebooks so the hardware is identical. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
check if uefi boot setting is enabled. W7 not always needs it but w8 does. Sometime you need to toogle uefi->legacy->apply->uefi->apply->exit before dell bios knows what to boot.
When you restore to Dell machine which had different MS windows installed with uefi you have to change MSboot manager settings (partition uuid=)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Without any problems make savedisk/restoredisk.
All settings will be done.
(Don't forget Microsoft's hidden partition(s)).
And
you can look for 'Any preliminary considerations' in http://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/thread/91414a5a/
