Within Windows running AOMEI and selecting System Restore, a message follows that states the PC has to be restarted "in a safe mode".
If the image is stored on an external drive connected by USB 3, the drive is not detected (because the USB 3 drivers don't get loaded - unlike Windows Safe Mode).
The standard method for installing the drivers from the command prompt (c:\system32\rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 etc) fails.
The options left are switching the drive to a USB 2 port (verrrry slowww restore) or rebooting with the recovery disk.
I there any way the USB 3 drivers can be loaded from AOMEI's safe mode.
