Hi Shawn,
I am planning to replace my 1TB "spinning" hard disk drive in my laptop with a new blank identical HDD. The drive is only 2 years old but HWINFO reports: "Number of Reported Uncorrectable Errors: 14" the error number is still the same (1 week now) and all other SMART checks are good but it worries me.
To restore my new HDD with a Windows backup image (on an external drive) I want to use my recovery USB thumb drive to access Windows RE: All I can find on the web on this topic is this: "System Image Recovery. Use System Image Recovery for file backup and system image backup. System Image Recovery requires an external storage device" and also "When you deploy Windows by applying images, you must manually configure the hard drive partitions. When WinRE is installed on a hard drive, the partition must be formatted as NTFS."
That's all; no tutorials anywhere except a lot of (off topic) You Tube posts. I am looking for a clear step by step guide how to format the blank HDD and then restore it, is this formatting option a menu on the recovery disk (Windows RE, Troubleshoot, Advanced Options)? Then I plan to perform a "System image recovery" with that same recovery disk. I can figure all this out by trying it on my old W10 laptop but I may screw things up and rather do it with guidance from a technical person.
If you know of a link that describes this simple procedure in detail without using any 3rd party software I would be very grateful. AOMIE documents have something that is very vague and EaseUS is offering me online remote assistance for a fee. Maybe elevenforum can write a tutorial "How to replace a laptop Hard Disk Drive using Windows RE USB drive"? IMO non-technical users like myself would be helped with that.
Thanks
Frank
Meanwhile I found this (see attached), would that work?
Sorry Shawn, I should have looked in EightForums, that whole procedure has been spelled out by you there:
