But it's a TB!

I tried automatic and Normal. I select the source destination, my raid drive, select the latest "Changed only" backup, which is 97 GB, select the restore drive/partition which is the whole C:\ drive.

HD, EFI, Reserved, basic data and Windows RE. I "THINK" that's the way I've done it a dozen times.

Next, Next, Warning: all data in the following partitions on HDD (SATA) will be lost.

Next, Yes, Next, "Not large enough."

A Windows server update. Since then I can't access my shares. File sharing is disabled. Enable, save, close reopen and disabled again.

it can have to do with the alignment used (cylinder vs 1mib) or where something was partitioned beyond the aligned end although the program handles that condition. You can also treat it like this: https://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/kb ... partition/

Crap. That doesn't help. I'm restoring to the drive that was backed up. No cylinder changes not a smaller drive...

Check those images again. We're both missing something obvious.

But THANKS!

badamsiosllc,

Something has changed your RE partition size. 724 and 524 MiB. I'm not sure about the Windows partition.

Can you post a screenshot of PartWork for Windows showing the partitions and Free Space on that drive?
