Hey
When I create a Windows 8.1 / 10 Offline Image with booting into PEX, the Drive Letter in the *.tib File are wrong. Allways the "hidden" automatically generated System reserved Partition with 500 MB is Drive C, the original Windows Boot Partition C will Change to Drive D.
After restore from the *.tib, Windows cant boot, missing OS, because Drive C ist now the System Partition with 500 MB.
Whats wrong?

Thanks
Hans

Update: I think I found the solution.

From another post mentioning IDE vs AHCI and drive letters being mislabeled - in this post the imaged PC was switched to AHCI prior to imaging. I decided to try switching the target machine BIOS from IDE (factory setting) to AHCI.

In the end :
- imaged machine uses default IDE
- target BIOS switched to AHCI

The target machine booted.

Hey Bernie

Thanks for your answer.

I try both BIOS Settings, configured my SATA Device as AHCI and IDE. However, with both Settings, same Result, always the System reserved Partition is Drive C and the Boot Partition with my Windows installation Drive D, see attached File

After restore the Image and reboot, the system cant start -> Missing Windows Files…

I am amazed why I have this problem, it's normal that Windows from version 7 and higher creates a system partition…

Hello, Hans

Did you use Sysprep tool before imaging?

If no, the issue needs to be tested on similar environment and settings.

Best regards.
