Hi Łukasz,

Is it possible to clean the target disk completely?

[lkozlowski]

Yes, actually I converted disk MBR to GPT and now I will try restore backup

OK I solved my problem. I change boot settings in BIOS from "Legacy support" boot UEFI First" to "Legacy support" "boot legacy first" and i could boot system FINALLY !

Łukasz,

Glad you nailed it and thank you for the heads up! Out of curiosity, did you erase the ‘destination’ disk and then restore the whole the OS volume without 'System Reserved' partition? If you backup the OS volume, ‘System Reserved’ partition should be automatically included in the backup (unless it was manually excluded).
