    I recently replaced my thinkpad x200 old hard drive 320GB to a new 500GB seagate sata hard drive. Upon replacement, I restored previously backed up image. The OS is windows 7 64 bit unchanged.

    Restoration was successful, but I am getting problem when installing drivers for various devices e.g huawei modem. The error is "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device". And now upon starting windows the device be used due to driver problem. This happens for most of my devices. Even DaemonTools Lite cannot be installed as installing SPTD driver is having problem.

    Actually, this is not the first time I did restoration from the same image and on the same notebook, and I did not encounter any problem in the past. The only thing that is different now is the hard disk being new and larger in size.

    Temporary fix to this would be to start with F8 options to disable driver signature enforcement each time. Pls help.
