Using system image recovery

[Moaaz Anda]

Hello,
So first things first I ended up re-installing Win 8.1, but I was really careful so I made system image restore. The problem is when I tried to restore the system this massage popped up

<To restore this computer Windows needs to format the drive that the Windows Recovery environment is currently running on. To continue with the restore shut down this computer and boost it from a Windows installation disc or a system repair disc and then try the restore again. If you don't have a system repair disc you can create one now.>


Anything would help I have all of my data there

So you reinstalled the OS.
Then you wanted to use the system restore image...to do what?

That image will want to overwrite whatever is on that disk or partition.
As it is informing you.

I don't mind I only re-installed Win because it wasn't booting.

If you've already reinstalled, why do you need to redo it again with the image?
