[QUOTE="TipsEasy, post: 524861, member: 6134"] This recent disaster confirms my sense of a gap in my backup/restore plan. I love the ease of system restore on my PC, but it failed during this crash. I browsed to them through Macrium's limitied explorer the 1 time I was able to boot inter "last good configuration", but was unable to get my pc to safe boot or use those restore points. Thus confirming my need for something like Rollback. My drive is SAMSUNG HM160HI ATA Device. On Macriums' support forum, I just read this, further clarifying for me: [INDENT]".. a Legacy/MBR-based system, unless Macrium takes FORENSIC images (all sectors on the Rollback protected partition... a large image), you will not be able to restore a working image to that system without re-initializing the systems with a STandard Windows MBR (not the one saved by Macrium) following the restoration. Even when you do that, the system will BOOT but Rollback will be neutered and all Rollback snapshots will be gone and unavailable." [/INDENT] I also just now read Umbra's MT Rollback RX guide, and probably my problems are more "user error" and installing programs without learning enough about them. Furthering my commitment to finding a reliable restore plan! [/QUOTE]
