"A REQUIRED DEVICE ISN'T CONNECTED OR CAN'T BE ACCESSED" after recovering with ATI 2014 in Windows 8!
First of all, I was using ATI 2013 on my Windows 7 for a long time and never faced any problems. Recently I've moved to Windows 8 also brought a newer version of ATI 2014. Like before I created a backup of two partitions, One for my 100GB 'C:' drive & another one for 'System Reserved' which is 100MB. When I tried to restore the backups in the same drive I noticed a strange message showing 'There is insufficient space on the drive' although my backup was only 18GB (after extract) and the partition size was 100GB. I tried to restore the backup using boot cd and saw that there is a MBR & Track 0 partition (which I never selected during my backup process). After a successful restore (with MBR & Track 0 selected) I discovered that my system isn't booting and showing an error message "A REQUIRED DEVICE ISN'T CONNECTED OR CAN'T BE ACCESSED". When I used the boot cd again is shows "NO RAID DISK" although I can see the partitions (while browsing the backup). I tried to restore the same backup again and again (even tried restoring MBR & Track 0 after partition restore) but still no luck. I'm totally confused now!!! Please Help!!!
Note:
- I'm doing backup and restore on the same HDD

Thanks a lot for the reply! I tried both complete disk & individual partition recovery. I don't have any hidden partition & I also formatted C: and System Reserved Partition before second try after boot failure. My boot sequence is correct too. I'm not sure about the UEFI folder but I found that UEFI was disabled by default in boot settings.
One more thing I forgot to mention is, I had duel boot with Win 8 & Backtrack Linux. I made separated partition for boot loader then I added the Linux boot with Easy BCD software.
