This I surmised after I rebooted and had only a UEFI shell prompt. So instead of restoring everything, I erased the formerly intact boot partition I had selected. Nope, from the Restore backup menu, I then selected 'delete partition' thinking this would automatically follow with a 'copy partition.' My backups consisted of the boot partition and the Windows partition.

Stupidly, though I had a relatively recent MR backup, I had not made recovery media, nor had I installed a recovery partition!įrom the Windows recovery menu, I was able to get into a command prompt and ran MR directly from there! Success, I thought! I have no idea what triggered this nasty event.Īll attempts using the built-in Win10 utilities did nothing to restore my computer. My mini-HTPC running Win10x86 began this AM with the dreaded screen attached below.

(Warning, you will surely cringe along the way at how many amateur mistakes were made). It was a very VERY clumsy recovery, but ultimately successful. Just wanted to share my first 'save' using Macrium Reflect.
