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. Robert 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.
