Speaking of UEFI/GPT, what is the best way to reinstall Windows, using a Winstaller-created image, to switch the boot from Bios to UEFI? I'd like to do that on this computer, but I'm not sure how to go about it. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: Sunday, November 03, 2013 1:56 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] imaging windows 8 Hi, Also be aware that these drives may be EFI/GPT disks and so may not restore using conventional imaging software.

Can you please point me to a link thx. I also have used drive snapshot and that doesn't boot everytime and then I have to restore the mbr for the disk.

I'm wanting to do a complete image, not just the data, and use it in the future in case of drive hardware failure. My goal take the image, probably from outside of windows itself from talking media? then in the event of hardware failure, buy a new drive, put it in, restore the image, and give the box back to it's owner and go on with things. In the really old days I used to use Ghost from floppy disk and have it run from batch file. I've tried image for windows from a win7PE boot environment and although that worked in creating the image, even put it where I wanted it, it wouldn't boot on restore. Is there a trick to imaging nowadays? Recommendations? Thanks.
