  1. You can also use a USB Flash Drive.
  2. WHY DO U NEED DISCS ! OMG
  3. Did you use a DVD or an external drive? If it's a DVD, make sure the disc isn't scratched or the session not complete. If it's on an external or network drive, google "windows 8 doesn't recognize image restore". You'll see forum posts talking about this, mostly for Windows 7 though, but some of the steps to fix this are likely similar.
  4. I have created the image but cannot restore the image. It cannot detect the image. Kindly advice what can be done to restore the file.
  5. It should as long as the hard drive has the same (or more) amount of storage space and if you have a System Repair disc, which can be created at the time you created the system image.
  6. My hard drive has failed but i have a sys image on an external drive. Does this process work on a new replacement hard drive?
  7. How many dvds do you need to make a system image? Can you use multiple hard drives or flash drives to make a system image?
  8. You'll need all the discs.
