So, (finally) fixed the restore issue with the new restore CD (1.0). I hope it does boot. Next up, fixing the system-reserved partition selection.
Excellent, I will try it right away and tell you if it works for me. Thank you sir.
So close… I get to the blue screen that warns about having the drive you want to restore to in the system and it has an OK button. I hit enter and nothing. I can see a blinking cursor at the bottom left but if I keep hitting enter it is just advancing the screen up a line. Maybe I didn’t wait long enough as I would think it would be looking for the server at that point, idk.
Thanks for the info! Had the same problem on my laptop due to missing firmware for the broadcom wireless chip. Somehow all network access kernel methods hang if this firmware is missing.
I’ve updated (firmware included) the ISO-image in place.
If you still have problems could you switch to another virtual console (CTRL+ALT+F2) and enter “dmesg”? That’s where I saw it was missing firmware files.
I’ve improved the code to find system reserved volumes. If you want to help, can you run https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47056810/sysvol_test.exe and look if it selects the correct volume?
This is it’s report. Looks to have found the right sysvol however, I still have my partitions setup to be like an install from a Microsoft Win7 disk and not how it came from Dell. I will have to run it on a system that I haven’t already altered.

The restore from the new CD image worked. It did have a little issue at the end of the restore where it said there was an error reading and that it was retrying but laptop booted off the new drive without issue. Good work!
This is a sysvol_test from a machine that I have not altered the partitions on, using the new sysvol_test you had me download.

Thanks!
I’ve included the code in http://sourceforge.net/projects/urbackup/files/WorkInProgress/UrBackup%20Client%201.3-1.exe/download now.
Excellent, I’ll be trying it right away.
It’s working great with the new client version. Thank you Sir!
