System image restore on empty external drive

by wktintemann . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I made a system backup of my C:
system partition with Windows 7
backup and restore facility on an
external disk.

Now I bought another external disk
and wanted to restore my backup to it to test the restoration on
an empty disk ( for the case of disk crah or when buying a new SSD ).

When I boot from the Recovery CD
and try to restore the image I can exclude my current system disk and keep only the external disk. But then I get an error message, which tells me that the
restoration misses a disk.

So is there a way to restore the
image to a disk other than the current disk ?
