Well, this is going to be slightly sad. I decided to try to upgrade my main system the other day ( meaning, last week) and before doing so I made a System Image via the Disk Image utility within the Windows 7-based backup utility in Windows 10. In multiple attempts to recover that image to a new 1TB SSD, I have met with 0% success. I have tried multiple utilities such as Macrium Reflect, AOMEI, EaseUS to name the most recent and have had no luck with any of them. Of course, I would not be writing here if I had not had success with the regular Windows Disk Image Recovery Utility, so I'm reaching out to the community for some assistance in looking for suggestions for other programs that might be worth looking into.

 

Thanks!

After attempts with the Windows 10 Disk Image Restore process. I get the ubiquitous and equally  cryptic:

 

"Error details: The parameter is incorrect (Error 0x80070057)"

 

message, which research shows is caused by a number of reasons, all equally unknown.

 

All of the aforementioned programs can not locate the previously saved Disk Images.

 

I have 2 different image files saved on two different & attached hard drives, each saved within 2 hours of each other.

I personally don't know what's causing this error. You've probably seen this thread already, still:

Have you tried any of these workarounds?

Hello,


Have you restored the system to the original Windows 7 and reloaded your disk image?  You might want to try that and then look at doing a backup using a different means, verifying the backup works, and then performing a clean install of Windows 10.

 

Regards,

    • Apple releases massive slide deck to help children convince their parents to buy them a Mac

      By adrynalyne · Posted

      Apple prices for sure suck, but performance, upgradability and flexibility are subjective to the use case and machine. For example, you will not find a mini PC in the same starting price range that has the same performance as a Mac Mini, nor will it be very upgradable, if at all at that size. Many cost-effective laptops are not upgradable past the storage. Inexpensive laptops are underperforming in comparison to more expensive models that might actually cost more than a MacBook . You won’t find battery life is comparable unless you go with Snapdragon, which limits compatibility and sacrifices upgradability. AIOs suck in both spaces, so I’ll not mention them. As for flexibility, I can do more in my use cases with a Mac than I can with a Windows or Linux machine. Where Apple really screws their users over is with upgrades, especially since you have to do them during purchase. The area where Apple can’t compete at all is desktop machines (not discussing AIOs). Outside of cost, it’s all subjective and situational.

      Not with Proton, no. macOS isn’t Linux in any way, shape, or form.

      AIDA64 was just showing the variable speed. Open Task Manager and go on the CPU tab and see the magic of your CPU speed going up and down as the PC does things in the background. C States Auto/Disabled actually forces all cores on (disabling the ability to park unneeded 3D Cache cores when they aren't needed), but does not have any effect on the CPU speed. I think setting the Power Plan in Windows to High Performance does boost the CPU clock higher, which also results in less energy efficiency with "everything turned up to 11" all the time when it isn't even needed. Older generation CPUs did not have the variable speeds we now have in modern CPUs, they operated on a fixed clock speed.

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      "What the f is that name of that program?! Good thing I can find it in the easily accessible, and alphabetized list of apps." 🙂 I don't use the Start Menu a lot, but I'd be super annoyed if there wasn't some form of an app drawer in Windows.
