I have a Seagate Flexdrive, onto which I save my backup Windows 7 images. To test that system image restore worked, I tried a dummy run. When I booted system restore disk, it said that it could find the NAS drive. I'm assuming that its system restore disk does not load up network drivers. Anyone know what might be causing this or have a workaround?

When you select "System Image Recovery" from the tools list in Windows RE, it will give and error "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer", click "cancel" then "Next" then "advanced" button, here you will be able to search for a network location or load a driver for your NAS if it is needed.

Doesnt work. Cant access NAS drive. I get the login to popup but known user/pass not working. Ive tried using IP and NAS hostname. Also, switched off windows managing of homegroup connections. – madphp – 2012-02-12T22:01:58.957

Ok figured it out. I had to load windows drivers from motherboard software disc. Restore is running now. – madphp – 2012-02-12T22:34:28.903
Glad you solved it, which drivers in particular? – Moab – 2012-02-13T02:13:15.240
just a set of LAN drivers for onboard NIC, that came with motherboard. I should have remembered, cause windows didnt have the drivers when I first set the machine up. doh. – madphp – 2012-02-13T02:27:56.443
Are you using wired or wireless NAS? – Moab – 2012-02-09T04:04:00.527
its a wired NAS. – madphp – 2012-02-09T04:21:54.527
Yes Windows RE loads wired network drivers for your nic. – Moab – 2012-02-09T04:44:25.187
