Hello,

I was dual booting Windows 10 with linux and had to re-install linux (Manjaro). I think I messed up because when I placed the Grub bootloader in the Window EFI partition I think I choose to...

There isn't any doubt that Macrium CAN make a backup image of a partition containing a Linux distro. My point is there is a limitation which is a big drawback... you cannot restore the contents of...

My problem is not: how to open a .img file in Windows 10. I know how to do that with winzip or via these methods.

My problem is: why does Windows 10 not open my .img file natively?

According...

Thanks alot Jimbo.

Can Windows 10 open that .img file natively for you? Or do you have to use some other tool?

Hello,

I have followed all the guides on the internet about how to make Windows 10 mount a disk image but it won't mount MY own disk image I made myself.

Just to illustrate what I am doing to...

Thanks topgundcp

But did I do the right things to switch my set up to be the same like what you were suggesting? If I boot into the Win 10 disk then I see the nice Win 10 dual boot menu. If I...

Following advice from NavyLCDR "... the grub bootloader can only be loaded by the system BIOS when the computer boots."

I then swapped my disks around. I had to physically swap the locations...

Thank you NavyLCDR

I took your advice, did a second restore from the image backup, and can confirm Macrium doesn't add an extra recovery partition. I didn't do that step (delete existing partitions) on the...
