Multi-boot with Windows 8.1 and OpenSuSE 13.1

Hi,

I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my PC first, it works fine, and I am able to use a recovery usb drive to restore the system (partition C:) with saved system image.
Later I installed OpenSuSE 13.1 on another disk drive and using the default grub2 bootloader. It works normally too, I can boot both Windows 8.1 and OpenSuSE 13.1.
But the Windows 8.1 recovery procedure is no longer working. I can still using the recovery usb drive to boot the system into a recovery mode and select the system
image, but the procedure failed to continue with the message:

The system image was built on the system in BIOS mode, but the system to be recovered is in EFI mode.

The system image of Windows 8.1 was re-built after I installed OpenSuSE 13.1. It seems that Windows 8.1 under a multi-boot environment is treated
as in BIOS mode when the system image was built.

Any idea how to solve this problem? It is desirable to be able to use the system image doe Windows 8.1 system recovery under Multi-boot environment.

Thanks for helps and suggestions.

Regards

Jyh-Shyong Ho
