I'll try to give a l the pertainent details.
I have a Lenovo Flex 4 1580 that came with a 512GB Liteon SSD. That drive failed, and I'm trying to replace it with a 1TB Sandisk SSD.
I used network PE boot to launch the restore, and then used ctrl-alt-shift to run diskpart. In diskpart, I created the two partitions on the existing drive, a 1GB WINRE_DRV partition and the remainder of the disk (I think) as a primary NTFS partition (which came out to 930GB approx).
After restoring 100% (0% remaining, more precisely), it timed out and gave this error:

Based on the article, I'm assuming that instead of padding, I need to reduce the size of SOMETHING by 2GB, but I'm not clear how to do that so it lands on precisely the same address, particularly because of my fractional results from the powershell calculation.
Is there a way to determine the EXACT sizes for the WINRE_DRV, Windows, EFI, and MSR partitions from the backup itself. It seems odd that it handles what should be a straightforward restore so poorly (and manually). the Restore UI provides "human readable" sizes, but what is really needed are exact sizes in MB blocks, apparently.
Thanks for your assistance. This was my primary client machine and I really need it back!

I bricked my Surface Pro 2 all by myself. I have tried various techniques from the Microsoft site. Basically, I get to a point where either my system drive is locked or I am asked for drivers so the machine will recognize drives. If I don't use a USB drive to boot, the machine goes to the UEFI screen. Any ideas or help available? - Steve

Here's a really neat utilities for all artist that has the Surface Pro. This does work on my Surface Pro.

This is a short-cut keys/menu that you can load with your favorite drawing apps. Highly recommend it.
Note: you will need to install Autohot keys first before the ArtDock will work. Link: http://www.autohotkey.com/
