Description
Using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Host and running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit guest I have noticed that when trying to restore a guest backup created by Windows Backup/Restore that it cannot recognise the virtual drive HDD to restore the image.
The same WindowsImageBackup loads just fine when used on a real computer.

False alarm.
I have discovered that if the Windows Backup image size (not the file size) is larger than the destination drive then the system will return the error message that it cannot find a drive to restore the image, slighty confusing, it should say the the destination drive is not able to take the image size.
This is completely Windows related and has nothing to do with VirtualBox.
