Windows Server 2008 Restore fails with error 0×80042406
When trying to restore a Windows Server 2008 R2 backup from disk it failed immediately with error 0×80042406
The solution was to hit Shift-F10 and bring up the command prompt, from there type:
diskpart
list all the disks on the machine and find your target disk:
list disk
Select our destination in this scenario is disk 0 (Yours may be different)
select disk 0
Now we wipe all partition information and filesystem tables on the disk we selected above (destructive!)
clean all
Now try your restore again!
Grep with Powershell
where {$_ -match “SomeString”}
Or Inverse match (grep -v)
where {$_ -notmatch “SomeString”}
