Thread: System image on External hard drive is not accesible while restoring PC from image

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

The windows system image backed up on my external hard drive (2TB WD USB3) is not showing while restoring the PC from an image.

The only option available is my hard drive partition on which i also had saved a system image.

What is the reason?
Though windows recommends External hard drive for backing up image when backing up the system.

u have a back up of ur system files of win7 and try to use it.

this wat u want to say then I like to tell u that its useless if u wanna do backup bcz I also tried this method previously and my system files got corrupt and finally I have to reinstall ma window.
