Failed restore, you still can not restore your partition until you create a new one, then restore the image.

I haven't tested a Macrium image yet, but the backups seem to have gone smooth, I like Macrium. Now I'll put this 'Acronis True Image WD Edition' to the test--I have a nearly identical (to my boot drive) Caviar Blue, still in the static bag, perfect --thanks very much for pointing this out. I also have a Seagate drive--and it is a little noisy, now quieter after a defrag, but still noisy compared with the WDC Caviar. I'll have to poke around, I guess my PCs bios manages the WD drives better than the Seagate or I need to change the settings for the latter. The Barracuda was one I added...the WDC Caviar Blue shipped with the PC. That little popping sound reminds me of my first noisy PC twenty years ago, a noisy 100MB HDD--gotta fix that, although most of the time I just use it for the backup images and deactivate it. On my first PC I had os/2 and a tape backup, boy was that slow, but at the time it was very cool, ha!
