How to restore a windows image system to a new drive?

Unable to restore windows image from backup image to new hard drive?

"So i boot up the win7 disc and started the restore process

And it failed because the backup image was on D:\ of the old SSD

And since the old SSD had the same signature of the backup image

the restore process was not able to complete

Even though i selected the new SSD partition

Solution:

So i opened the Command

Typed these command lines:

DiskPart

DISKPART> select disk 0 <--this is the old SSD

DISKPART> uniqueid disk

DISK 00180000 <- it displayed the actual signature

DISKPART> uniqueid disk ID=01010101 <--type something different from the actual signature

And then i closed the command and i ran the system image restore successfully"
