[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MovEaxEcx:
RAW file and storage manager

Hi,

First off, thanks for detailed and scientific approach to describing restore method, I really enjoyed reading and using it. :fingers-crossed:

My phone is Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, model 9515, OS 4.2.2.

Internal memory 8Gb, external SDCard 2Gb.

I have installed everything needed to use this method and everything works until this step:

When I select RAW file (converted with VHD tool) in Storage Manager I get following error message box:

"A virtual disk support provider for the specified file was not found."

Here is list of disk partitions on android phone generated by command:

RAW file could not be added as disk in storage manager for two phone files which I have backuped, mmcblk0 (8Gb) and mmcblk0p12 (small one just 3Mb).

Maybe any problem because I use Windows 8.1? (but I did not noticed any problem using cygwin, adb or any other of the tools...)
