Cannot restore on Hyper-V - Unable to determine the disk for restore.
Hello, I'm using the latest version of DIAX on Hyper-V (Windows 10).
I created my reference image and I captured it without errors.
Now I'm trying to test the restore process on another Hyper-V vm, as I always did in the past with ImageAssist.
I'm not able to restore my wim file, because it seems that DIA tool cannot detect the disk for restore.
In ImageAssistXPe.log I can see:
2020-12-05T08:22:54 Info DetermineDiskToRestore : Checking again for disk
2020-12-05T08:22:54 Info GetMsftPhysicalDisks : Getting list of MSFT Physical disks.
2020-12-05T08:22:54 Info DetermineDiskToRestore : Attempt-2, Possible disk no. -1
2020-12-05T08:22:54 Error GetRestoreTargetDiskDetails : Unable to determine the disk for restore.
2020-12-05T08:22:54 Info GetLogicalDiskToPartitionInfoMappings : Getting disk info.
But if I open a CMD prompt I can see the disk and even format it using diskpart, I can also access the disk using the file explorer tool in DIAX.
Trying to restore the image throws this error:
The UI is in Italian, it says "Cannot restore #WimInfo - Please try again or contatct helpdesk".
Any idea?

@CoeAdmin - Do you have an external USB drive attached to your Hyper-V? If so, please disconnect it. Instead of trying to restore the image from the USB drive, place the image in a folder on the host machine or network share, and use the browse > map to network drive funtion to restore the image.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Yes, I've got an external USB drive connected to the physical host, but in the past it never gave me problems during restores.
I'm going to try the network share solution. So far I've been trying to restore the WIM using a secondary VHDX (containing the WIM), attached after the WinPE boot.
In the previous versions of DIA, it worked like a charm.
