Partitions do not restore in the correct order
Okay, so here is what I am trying to do:
I have used Vmware to create a system image of Win7 x64, and when I go to restore that image onto my laptop, the partitions don't come in the right order, so I can't boot into Windows.
The image was created using a UEFI VM because the laptop is UEFI.
The 128MB MSR partition just seems to be gone when I restore. What I get when I restore is
100MB EFI system partition
99.8GB Windows (C:)
In between those two there should be a 128MB MSR partition, but it just disappears. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.... You're right about the clean install in UEFI mode. It won't run. Gets stuck on the orbs exactly like you said.
I will look into universal boot, and prepare Win7 MBR/legacy images instead :)
Is universal boot free for Acronis customers or do I have to pay again?
Thanks for the help!

One thing I didn't mention: I generalise my images with Sysprep before deploying them. So they are already hardware independent. It seems like what Universal Restore does is exactly that, which i've already done with Sysprep/Audit mode. Anyway i'll try it without Universal Restore first and if that fails i'll try Universal.

You should be good to go with sysprep
