This will restore to any drive. Add the Universal Restore Option and you will be as happy as a pig in mud.

I used Server Backup to an external USB drive. I would recommend disconnecting the original drive entirely and connecting your new SSD when attempting the restore. However since you have tried this and it does not work the next question would be if it sees the SSD at all? Simply try the restore with just the SSD. Then if it doesn't detect, try a new install using just the SSD. Also are you using a RAID controller? What details can you give me? Honestly it was rather simple.

When I recover from the image of my system, it only allows me volumes on the HDD drive as a destination for the restoration! I use windows server 2008 R2 backup/recover!

I was busy trying to restore my db to a sandbox first and then using svn for wordpress to make upgrading easier. Got side tracked and i updated those dns records for another reason (ventrilo server).

Sorry if I gave you a bit of a shock when I finished the wordpress install and posted the under construction notice. I figured it was better I did that than leave it for some random prick to come along and hijack the site or something. All the best, ~AnonymousGuest Hi Conor,

While this "resolves" the issue it is by no means a solution to the problem. I ended up moving the shortcuts out to the parent folder and then selecting them all and r-click -> Pin to Taskbar. Then i deleted the shortcuts i just moved. The microsoft website and Sherry named above were rather unhelpful in trying to fix this clear "bug" in windows, one which is extermely irritating.
