Buggy client restore - error c000000e winload.exe

Question

Looks like the bare metal client restore is a big buggy
Scenario - old SSD 256GB, restore to brand new 500Gb SSD
Old Partitions: RESTORE(no drive letter), OS C: (bitlocked)
After restore: RESTORE(C:), OS (D:)
Windows won't boot with error c000000e winload.exe
Booted into Windows repair mode (off Windows 8 CD)
- repair windows states it has  no idea how to fix it
- went into command line mode and used diskpart not exactly sure what I did, but it included resetting drive letters
       select volume 1
       remove
      select volume 2
      assign letter=C
- still won't boot
- re-ran repair mode. this time it fixed it and windows boots
The system is now happy and all files seem to be there
Conclusion: The partition attributes aren't being restored correctly, but the contents are ? 
I don't know if this is SSD specific, but something is definitely broken

Hi,
Based on the error code you posted c000000e, i checked with my inernal tool and found the following information
C:\Users\v-yanwen>err.exe c000000e
# for hex 0xc000000e / decimal -1073741810
  STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE                                         
ntstatus.h
# A device which does not exist was specified.
# as an HRESULT: Severity: FAILURE (1), FACILITY_NULL (0x0), Code 0xe
# for hex 0xe / decimal 14
  ERROR_OUTOFMEMORY                                             
winerror.h
# Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
# 2 matches found for "c000000e"
After we finished restoring the system we received the error code: Windows won't boot with error c000000e winload.exe. the reason we couldnt boot the system is because of one of the reasons as following:
# A device which does not exist was specified.
# Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
Hope this inforamtion is helpfulfor you.
Thanks
