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.

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.

    • I don't get why you care how thin your phone is. Most people slap a giant case on it anyway, so it doesn't mean much in the long run.
    • Yay it finally made it to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Installed on the rest of my PCs/laptops and also working just fine. Was also available before for KDE Neon and Fedora. And I hear Arch also already has it.
    • Yeah basically family safety is tied to your sons acc and your be the manager of it right and can see what they view and can control it. However open edge and you can actually signin to another account while on the windows account you are monitoring and bypass the restrictions. It was different to this on Windows 7 all the stuff was local not in cloud, so didn't matter if you signed out the browser. Chrome can usually still be installed even when blocked, my son used to use other acc in browser and download chrome and then use that freely and install apps and stuff as webapps. None of the tracking stuff would work. I originally ended up blocking downloads via group policy, microsoft store, winget, and loads of other stuff via group policy. But yeah as i said he just got to the point he reset the pc. I stopped that with bios password but he yanked the cmos battery (restores bios and removes password) and reinstalled windows. Other than physically locking the case away and watching him like a hawk its gameover now. It was kinda self inflicted, i did teach my son some cybersecurity stuff and i used to encourage him to try get past my blocking (so he learnt some skills for the future), he can actually lockpick interesting how you bring that up lol (another thing i got him into) I agree with the parenting thing locking stuff down is not the only solution.
