imagex image

I used imagex to make a Windows image. I transferred it to a spare drive to make sure it worked. It did.

Next, I transferred it to the real target drive (a larger drive). I happened to do a system file check to make sure everything was okay. It said it found corrupt files, but could not fix them. I went back and also checked (sfc) the practice drive but found no problems.

chkdsk found no problems

I searched the cbs log for "corrupt" and "cannot", but none found.

It appears that the message returned from the command line is not consistent with the log file.

If I upload the cbs log, could someone look at it and let me know what is happening?

Thank-you.

 

I did some more research on using imagex for this purpose. I found that it can be done seemingly smooth and seemingly without the errors I have had, but according to this article, unfixable problems likely will occur later:

I didn't know this. Now that I do, I am not anymore going to risk using imagex for this purpose.
