I am having trouble restoring an image with either Macrium or Aomei. The problem is everything backs up fine but when I try to restore, my main SSD is no longer available or visible. Here is what Macrium sees ( Aomei is the same )
My SSD is partitioned to C and D.
My rescue media a USB E
and my backup drive is G
When I backup, all is fine and when I boot to the rescue media all is fine and the SSD is showing all the partitions correctly, but when I try to restore the pc will not find the SSD and it now calls the old G drive with the image on the C drive, The Rescue media which was E is now D and there is a Boot which is X, so I cannot find the SSD to restore to.
Everything is fine until I boot to any rescue media...
I wonder if this could be a BIOS problem.
Any help would be great, Thanks
