I really don't understand why Windows won't allow this, although it allows installing to a partition. Specifically a boot camp partition on a Mac. I am still looking for a way to restore a VHD image to an NTFS formatted partition on a hard drive. Is there a cost-free way to just restore the system image backup to the new partition while preserving the OSX partition?īasically what I am saying is that when installing Windows 7, there is an option to install to a specific partition on the physical disk, but when restoring, I do not see that option. I've considered that there may be a command line utility on the Windows 7 install disc to restore the VHD to the partition, but can't find any documentation for such. (I don't see any options to choose just a partition!) When I go to restore the system image using the Windows 7 installation disc or the repair disc, it says that when restoring the image, the entire disk is going to be erased and formatted so that the image can be restored to it.
I had a 70GB Boot Camp partition on my iMac that I wanted to increase the size of, so after creating a system image (.vhd) on an external FW drive of the Boot Camp partition using Windows Backup and Restore, I removed the Boot Camp partition from within OS X and re-created one that is now 140GB.
