The release notes will also usually tell you if there are any fixes that affect the PE environment. You don't need to update your Rescue Media with every new Reflect release, but you should definitely do it more often than every other year. So while it's possible that I'm simply wrong about V6 Rescue Media being able to restore V7 backups, it's also possible that you're stumbling on a bug that was fixed a long time ago. Your Rescue Media is only running 6.1.865? That's over 2 years old at this point, and looking at the release notes for V6's lifetime, there were several releases after that where the notes had text in red that basically says, 'Hey, we fixed a bug that pertains to Rescue Media that may be important to you, so you should probably build new Rescue Media after updating.' Two releases have bug fixes pertaining to restoring backups that use Delta Incremental Indexes, and that option is enabled by default on V7. I just took a closer look at that dump file name.

So I don't know at this point what to try next. copied the four partitions to be restored, 5. select the backup from a WD passport external drive connected via USB 3.0, 2.chose the hard drive that contained the CDrive originally, (I have two hard drives on that machine) 3. This again failed with the above same error and dump. So I tried to restore the Reflect Oct 2 CDrive (including the OS and the three system partitions for boot etc). This has been completed and it looks very solid. So today, I used the HP rescue media and took the machine back to Windows 7 as configured at HP factory.

While continuing to try scannow, spotfix and eventually chkdsk and all would not work, I eventually could no longer even get the login screen. I'm pretty certain that I do have hard drive issues and if Reflect is constrained to use what now may be bad parts of the hard drive since the backup was made. 1-865-圆4-15.dmp Please email this file to '' A google search on this indicated that it is common for this to be a symptom of hard drive issues.
