This seemed slow to me, but have no baseline with this system's tiny HD. What version runs best on 32b hardware? (Using 0.3.17 Partclone.) One apparent oddity is the USB boot stick is accessed like the clonezilla is getting swapped out and has to be reloaded. Once it's copying I wonder why the stick would need to be accessed? It only has 1mg of memory which should have been upgraded FIRST. Is there a way of speeding this up? (It says 318. 62 mb/minute.) Thanks a million for any help! Regards, Ti...

Unfortunately, that too did not work. I'm curious as to why one should choose to update the MBR, if i'm reading it right, when the partition clone appears to NOT back that up? You have no experience or knowledge of using partition images in a VM from Oracle? As this is a laptop I have only one disk drive and backing up the entire disk each time seems less than ideal. (Unless, it's the ONLY way to get a reboot, that is, which is my current belief. I'll be looking for the VM info shortly so if it's...

If anyone has a successful experience using system partition restores in this environment and could share it I'd be forever grateful! (Using specifically the PARTITION NOT IMAGE backup.) As the Windows 7 'restore/rebuild' MBR appears broken I'm hoping my Windows 7 system partition will load. Thanks in advance! T

Thank you; I'll give that a shot! Have you heard of anyone restoring a system partition onto an Oracle VM? As it likely uses different boot geometry I thought that may side step.

I wonder if the image would restore in a virtual machine; I've been wanting to go that route, but heretofore have not crossed that bridge. In theory it should have it's own boot mechanism, but I'm ignorant of Oracle's system.

Thanks! I did verify the image does have the windows stuff and a lot of files needed. Desperately trying to avoid a total rebuild and especially losing certain browser passwords like mega.nz that I may have trouble resetting. None of the 'rebuild MBR' options have worked via bootrec. See above also where I tried to restore OVER a new copy of windows and it clobbered the MBR, or at least the ability to reboot. Thanks again for any help!

Hp Elitebook Windows 7, "Smartdisk" Did verify the windows boot partition/system is on the image. 1) The bootrec options failed as did the Win 7 recovery; many different errors, that crapware is buggy as hell and Windows DOES NOT 'rebuild the MBR'; all three bootrec options were tried when the 'rebuildMbr failed. NO LUCK! 2) Installed Win 7 on new drive, same system, boots fine. 3) Tried restoring partition OVER same install, did mess up boot again. Are there special options to leave the MBR and...

Thanks! Please, how can I explore the image to verify Win7 is there? T
