My desktop computer has 2 physical hard drives
I booted with a USB drive to capture images using the ImageX tool.
- Drive G is recognized as being the USB 'capture image' boot device that has ImageX tool.
- Disk 0 is recognized as drive C.
- Disk 1 is recognized as drive D.
I captured the C:\ drive and the D:\ drive with the following commands. Both completed successfully.
- G:>ImageX /compress fast /BOOT /verify /check /flags "Enterprise" /capture C: G:\Drive_C_install.wim "Windows 7 Professional" "Windows 7 Professional Custom"
- G:>ImageX /compress fast /verify /check /flags "Enterprise" /capture D: G:\Drive_D_install.wim "Windows 7 Professional" "Windows 7 Professional Custom"
I then replace the 2 physical disks with new ones. I used diskpart to select disk 0, create a partition, format, assign a size , assign letter C and mark C as active. Disk 1 also the same (except I did not mark disk 1 as active.
I then boot with bootable USB and now successfully apply the .wim files with the following commands.
- G:>ImageX /apply /verify G:\Drive_C_install.wim 1 C:\
- G:>ImageX /apply /verify G:\Drive_D_install.wim 1 D:\
However, when I boot up expecting to see a clean boot into Windows, instead I get the error of:"BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart"
I am thinking I did not capture the image properly? (I am able to see the files and folders actually did apply to the new hard drives by using a SATA hard drive docking station and seeing them on another PC)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
