Want to restore disk to drive n USB dock, REBOOT REQUIRED"
There must be somehting I can do to work around this. I have a disk backup image and I want to restore to a drive enclosure on USB, but it is saying it needs to reboot pc. I do not to reboot PC as it takes forever to restore.
Rebooting for this is a serious pain. I want to be able to restore to this disk regularily.
Rebooting does work fine, it does do it but takes forever but then I got no pc for a couple hours.
The drive is USB so why is it requiring reboot?

OK so you think if I can figure out a way to make the disk unformatted again I might have better luck. I will do some googling.

Holy crap I figured it out, thanks! Everywhere I looked always the answer was "Use a boot dik, or let it restart" But I found the sipplest way to do it the way I want!
Solution: Goto disk management, delete every partition (Not FORMAT< make sure to DELETE)
It won't let u delete the EFI boot partition, that is fine to leave.
That is all! Now it does it while the OS is still running!
