I first had WHS, now WHS 2011 for several years. In the past I have had little problem with bar metal restore.
In the past few weeks, I have been unable to restore bare metal on two different laptops. I receive an error to the effect "Backup was created from a UEFI system. You must boot into the UEFI partition to restore."
Both laptops were NOT running UEFI nor is the server. I was allowed to restore system reserved but not the Windows 7 partition.
I do not own a GPT drive, save a 3T external. I have been careful to avoid UEFI installs. I installed the "hot fix" when it came out.
I am about to relegate the "server" to being a "file server only". I have no faith in a backup which will not restore. Anyone have any ideas past the simple? Again the laptops nor the server were not UEFI. I used the WHS's Disk Management to partition and format the receiving disks.
Respectfully,
