What to restore? I'm stuck

Thread needs solution

My ssd died, but just in time I managed to make an image of the system partition. Using the bootable medium, I'm trying to restore the image, but with no luck. I partioned my new ssd in two partitions C and D. Of course C is meant to be the system disk and D holds the image I'm trying  to restore and will be the data partition.

The problem is that my image has a NTFS C-partition of 58 Gig which is the actual system, plus an E partition of 100 MB which is flagged as active, plus a MBR plus a recovery partition of 450 MB. 

I don't understand how I can get those 4 items onto my designated system partition. Any help is much appreciated.

Welcome to these User Forums.

The first comment I need to make is not to try to restore your backup image from a partition on the same SSD, the backup image should ideally be on a separate drive, preferably an external drive.

By using an external drive, you should then do a full disk restore of your backup .tib image - selecting this at the top disk level, not as individual partitions.  See the attached document written for ATI 2017 that shows how to do the disk restore which should be very similar to using the ATI 2018 Rescue Media.

Note: the 100MB partition is important as this is the Microsoft System Reserved partition where the Windows Boot Configuration Data store is held and tells the computer how to boot into Windows.

Once you have done the disk restore from the .tib file, you can always make changes to the partition sizes using a dedicated partition tool such as the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software.
