Failed to recover file or folder 'System.Runtime.Serialization.dll'.
Hi, I bought a new SSD which arrived today to replace a smaller SSD. I did a system back up and saved it to my storage HDD.
I have my new SSD attached by USB and twice now during Restore to new SSD I have got the error: "Failed to recover file or folder 'System.Runtime.Serialization.dll'."
This is after validating the backup as well.
Any ideas whats wrong?
Thanks
Flint

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the advice. I have now gotten it and it looks right this time. I have my original as C: but the new one is E:
Will I have to change this or if I attach the new SSD with recovery on it, will that assume the C: automaticall?

Flint, if your new SSD is connected as a second drive to your PC, then it will always get a different drive letter later in the alphabet.
Once you remove the current C: drive and replace it by the new SSD, it will assume the C: drive letter when booting into the Windows OS from that new SSD.
