Macrium restore failed: Error 100

Win10trial, press on with MR, your experience with it will become smoother. Me? I use both MR and Image for Windows, both had learning curves, however things are going pretty smoothly now. And the other utilities mentioned by others are excellent choices for a 2nd backup/restore utility.

I had a problem today trying to Clone a SSD to another SSD same size and make. It cloned everything but The Boot Menu, so I had to use EaseUSPartition Master 13.8. it did the job.

Curious- if you clone an entire disk, how did it miss it? Or did you not actually clone but copy selected partitions?

But looking at your screenshots, it is not the restore as such that's failing. It is the automatic restore that's failing to find the marker file or the image to restore. As you say, it seems to think the source and destination are the same.

Hi @Bree, it turns out that that which MR calls 'Source' is the source from which the backup originally was made. (Which, although confusing at first glance, is logical bc you want to know which backup files you want to restore.) So that is correct.

I'd try booting from a Macrium rescue usb to attempt the restore, thereby side-stepping the errors seen when attempting to start the restore from within Windows.

I did try the Rescue usb but it gave the same outcome: MR does not show the (GPT2 disk's) B: partition in a list of available drives. Why??



My disks:


Unfortunately I'm no good on matters regarding boot, mount, diskpart, etc.

What can I do to make MR 'see' the B: partition after booting into PE-mode?
