Windows Image backup

hi,

I have an desktop thinkcentre type 5032 model M81. I have created a system image for this desktop and now I have a new one and I am trying to restore this image into a new AIO thinkcentre desktop All In One. it seems to restore the image but I cannot start the machine due to a start up repair that never works.

I guess it doesn't start up due to drivers and also amongst the other things. This new desktop have e.g camera building with microphone and a different hardware.

Can you help me to install this image into my new desktop?

After restoration can you boot system in safe mode?

What error you are getting after restoration ? Bluescreen ?

Yes, I get a blue screen that flashes very quickly and it goes away. Then it asks to repair the disk startup. I use all the advanced option but no change.

Boot the system again and just after POST press F8 to get into the advanced boot menu. see the image for the options

now select the disable automatic restart on system failure.

now provide us BSOD codes.

You can use sysprep to prepare your old PC, then make an image backup, then restore that backup. Use sysprep as per here: http://www.bluecompute.co.uk/blogposts/migrating-a-windows-7-installation-to-new-different-hardware/ Select 'Quit' after sysprep completes, then run the backup.
