Windows 7 licensing has changed and does not allow for Ghosting like they used to. Even when cloning a replacement drive we have to run a repair on Win7 for it to work. Your best bet is to reload the PCs with the Origional Lenovo DVDs, and create scripts to make the configuration changes needed for your environment.

We haven't have any trouble Ghosting out the HP z400 and Lenovo w510 with Windows 7. &nbsp;We have to use a volume licence with SA though. <br />
<br />
But, anyways, I am not actually even getting close to that point with these w520. &nbsp;We aren't able to even get them onto the network with the winPE disks.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
