Advantages of TeraByte

• Creates and restores Ghost images at super-fast speed
• Supports backing up Ghost images on both UEFI and LEGACY standards
• Supports creating Ghost images based on an old Ghost image
• Supports copying and moving the operating system from an old hard drive to a new hard drive

How to Use TeraByte to Restore a TBI Ghost Image

Preparation
Step 1: You need to create a bootable USB drive with Win Mini See the guide to creating the boot drive here
Step 2: Download TeraByte at the bottom of the article and open it

I) Restoring a .TBI File on Legacy – MBR

Step 1: Open Terabyte Image and select Restore to restore the TBI Ghost image

Step 2: Choose Automatic or Normal. Automatic does everything automatically for you, while Normal has more options. I’ll choose Normal

 
Step 3: Select the drive where you saved the TBI Ghost image and click Next


Step 4: At this point, select the drive to restore the TBI Ghost image to (drive C by default), click Next > select Yes

Step 5: In the New box, enter exactly the number in the Max field, as I entered 61436, so that it restores to fill the full drive capacity. If you don’t enter it, it will automatically size the partition to exactly the capacity of the drive when the TBI Ghost image was created

Step 6: Here is the result. You just need it to finish restoring and you’re done

II) Restoring a .TBI File on UEFI – GPT

Step 1: Restoring a TBI file on UEFI – GPT is quite similar to Legacy – MBR
when you get to the part where you select the Ghost image as in the guide above, you will see that the UEFI – GPT Ghost image has 3 more partitions (Recovery, EFI, MRP) than the Legacy – MBR image. Here, select All partitions
Tip: You can restore the image on Legacy – MBR if you select only the NTFS partition

Step 2: In this step, you must delete the first partition and leave it empty (Free Space) to restore the TBI Ghost image into it. Click the first line as I clicked in the image to restore it

Step 3: for the steps below, just click Next, Next and you’re done

III) Common Errors When Restoring Ghost Images With TeraByte

I) You must select only the target ‘Partition’ for the operation. You currently have a ‘drive’ selected

You get this error when you click a drive instead of a partition. Select the correct partition to restore to and it will work

• if you select 1 partition to restore as in the image below, select the hard drive partition to restore to

• if you select more than 1 partition to restore as in the image below, select the top of the hard drive to restore to (note that below the hard drive you restore to must be a deleted partition shown in black, Free Space) see the image below 

II) The selected destination is not large enough. 43.02Gb (44049 MiBs) required

This error happens because the partition does not have enough capacity. That means if you create a Ghost image of a 60Gb partition, you must restore it to a partition of 60Gb or larger,
III) the target drive cannot be used because other partitions already occupy one or more of the target locations or the drive is not large enough

This error is like error II but

• If you are restoring the Ghost image on Legacy – MBR, note that an MBR drive can only have up to 4 partitions
• If you are restoring the Ghost image on UEFI – GPT, note that you must delete the first partition and leave it empty

IV)
Unable to obtain a lock on drive C:
The volume is in use by an application or Windows itself. Please
close the offending application and retry or use a recovery boot disk.
Visit www.terabyteunlimited.com/howto/ for details.
You can also attempt to invalidate all opened handles and force
a dismount by choosing ignore

This error happens because you are restoring from within your main Windows,
You must boot into Windows mini to restore it. You can see the guide below
