One minute it says 12 minutes left, the next minute the process has completed.NB!! - In the above mentioned process, I shrinked the Windows 10 partition on the SSD using Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic on my new Lenovo Thinkpad L570, before backing it up. I found a solution to the same error message:Īnother annoyance is that it is quite hard to figure out how far in the backup or restore process Paragon is. One minute it says 12 minutes left, the next minute the process has completed. What annoyed me the most about Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic is, that when I wanted to put it on a boot CD, it asked me to install "WAIK ADK" from Microsoft, which takes up 7 GB on my SSD.! So I had to remove it again afterwards.Īnother annoyance is that it is quite hard to figure out how far in the backup or restore process Paragon is. life is getting cumbersome, with UEFI, secure boot, GPT etc.etc.īut why did Paragon give me that non-sense error message "disk is not initialized"? But to boot on the gparted CD, I needed to Disable Secure Boot in the BIOS. I use the free Paragon Hard Disk Manager 16 Basic, where you have to pay for that functionality, so instead I used to convert the USB-memory from MBR to GPT. My backup was from a modern GPT SSD but I was trying to restore it to an MBR-formatted USB-stick. I stumbled upon "Migrate OS To SSD Troubleshooting" - which explained that you have to ensure that the restore target drive has the same partition table type as the backed up drive - in terms of either MBR or GPT. The microSD i'm trying to overwrite seems to work fine (i can copy files to it and delete them), so I'm not sure why it keeps saying the disk isn't initialized? Any ideas?

I am attempting to copy it to another 32 gig microsd card (the 128 gig backup is mostly empty only about 30 gigs actully taken up).

Hi everyone! I backed up a 128 micro SD card to an image on my HD.
