I have a big problem in cloning a WES7 image with the Microsoft Tool Imagex. I prepare the HD with Diskpart (NTFS) and try to apply the image with ImageX. During the first boto of the new image, the system won't boot up and give me an error on winload.exe (black screen).  Can't ImageX clone a WES7 image???

Thanks for a fast reply.

Hey Scott,

this is a common error, when you want to apply an Vista/Win7 image to a new partition. When you prepare the HD with Diskpart, then the Partition ID is changeing. But the image, especially the boot loader is refering to the partition ID. So answer to your problem is: Set the partition ID back after applying the image with ImageX. You can do this with following commands:

bcdedit /set {default} device partition=c:
bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=c:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=c:

That's it. :-)
