System Image Restore Failed 0x80070057
Hi guys,
I have 2 SSDs in RAID 0 with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed. I tried to make a system image using the windows backup utility, then disable the RAID array, reformat, and restore to one of the SSDs. At this point I realized I needed to shrink the partition first. I have the image on a 1 TB hard disk in the computer.
However, I rebuilt the array and now I can't restore my image, I get an error that the parameter is incorrect (0x80070057). This happens right at the very end of the restore. I'm using a USB stick with the windows recovery environment on it, created with the backup utility in windows. I tried the method of pulling out the USB stick once the recovery environment is loaded. I also tried running diskpart clean, same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Well, I don't know what the problem was but I got Windows running.
Essentially after rebuilding my RAID array, running the system image restore, and getting the error, I ran Startup Repair and after that it just booted right up. Chrome even remembered my tabs.
I'm not sure I'd call it a solution, but if your image restore fails at the very end running startup repair may help.
I did also get Macrium Reflect, hoping it could read the image created with Windows backup but that didn't work either. From now on I'll be using that to make backups and images.
If anyone knows of a third party tool that can real and restore images made with Windows backup, I'd still be interested to know. Or if anyone knows the real cause of this issue.
Thanks!
