Default O.T. Missing Folder/files

I don't understand what it means that the restore must be
completed in the Windows PE rescue environment? I thought
I was in the PE mode when I connected the external hd?

I understand that the partitions don't match up but I'm not
understanding what you mean by a new full? If I drag and drop
from the external to the C: drive I have to do it for all the partitions ,
making each the same size, correct?

This is getting beyond me,.... I didn't realize I had to partition.

I'm not sure how to proceed at this point.

First, I was hoping you'd keep a backup of todays 780,
in case of trouble.

Main drive === USB external
|
booted from
anything with a copy
of Macrium on it (CD or C: )

The next step is the Restore of your selected backup
onto the 780 main drive.

Main drive === USB external
|
booted from
Macrium CD

You want to be booted from the Macrium CD for
the bare metal restore you're doing. You can
do any kind of restore you like - drag&drop a
single partition or restore the entire MRIMG,
your choice. The version of CD should be
recent enough, to match or exceed the version
that made the backup. Macrium will tell you
if you're using the wrong version.

Macrium will allow you to make boot media with
either a USB stick or a CD, whatever you have
handy or want to sacrifice for the job. If you
didn't have any CDs, you could use a USB stick
instead.
