![]() ![]() (this is the message windows is reporting when trying to power up the PC)Īm I doing something wrong that prevents Aomei from copying the bootloader? We have been using clonezilla to make the clones but this is quite complicated and we have had a few failures recently.Īomei looks very simple to use but we cannot get the cloned drive to boot without using the win7 CD to make a repair to the missing or corrupt bootloader. We then have the working original on the shelf if needed. To make sure the machine settings are up to date, every month we make a clone of the drive, put this in the spare PC and then put the spare PC in the machine. We have a number of CNC machines here and we keep a spare PC for each one to make sure we can get up and running quickly should we have a PCfailure. ![]() I didn't try to do anything because I'm afraid I might corrupt it and I'm not that familiar what all the options do in this program. Do I just have to enable it somehow? I tried the option 'Check Partition' on my F drive using the middle option, but it gave an error saying that I have to use chkdsk.exe in command line. In the Aomei Partition Asisstant it still shows my F disk. I have it weird set up right now, that my C disk has the windows and other basic things, while all the programs and games were installed on my F disk.(most of my memory on F disk, only gave C the minimum it needed) But it seems that the proccess actually worked, and it increased my C space. I did that and didn't notice anything that said that something was corrupted or that there were any errors. Shut down my pc, and started it up again, it wanted me to check my disk, the black screen with 10second countdown. Looked like a video card crash or something. Mouse didn't move and the screen was messed up. I remember there were 3steps, after the 3rd started the % quickly went to the end and then my PC crashed. Then used 'Merge Partitions' with it to my C disk. Used 'Resize Partition' from F disk to take 35GB. So I tried to give more space to my C from F disk. I once did this and it worked, but this time I think I did it the wrong way, I remember doing it a different way before. This too has been reported elsewhere on this forum. This has been reported elsewhere on this forum.įully backing up and restoring the MBR on legacy systems. Restoring a full system backup fails due to AOMEI complaining there is not enough disk space, even though the backup came from the same disk. Restoring the correct DISK TYPE (MBR or GPT) when doing a restoration AOMEI seems NOT to be restoring the boot sectors or sequence correctly. This seems to be a failure of the AOMEI software. This worries me as quite a few people that might be running UEFI / GPT might have to replace a disk. I do have to wonder if restroring from a UEFI / GPT backup will work on a NEW disk that has never been converted to GPT. I understand that switching from a legacy / MBR to a UEFI / GPT disk layout is unusual. This time however a repair from the install media did work and it booted. Putting it back in the test machine and tried to boot. I converted it to GPT using AOMEI Partition Assitant while the disk was mounted in another PC. Booting to a PE and looking at the disk I saw that it was marked as an MBR disk. I then restored from a previous WIndows 64 UEFI / GPT backup I made a few days ago. I then blew off all the parititons with AOMEI Parititon Assistant. I have also found that AOMEI will not change the disk type to GPT when the disk was previously used as an MBR installation.Īfter I restored (and fixed) the WIndows 8.1 64 bit legacy / MBR system. It requires that you find and boot to the installation media and do a reapir in order to get a bootable system. ![]() I have noticed that AOMEI will not restore the MBR when backing up and restoring a Windows 8.1 leagcy mode installation. I have installed Windows 8.1 64 in both legacy and UEFI mode. I have been experimenting with a spare system. Also looking over Google, no meaningful result came up. I searched in the forum, but I could not find anything similar. I'd like to know if it is possible to achieve the following result: is there a way to let AOMEI Backupper add a prefix/suffix with the current date to the folder name, or to the file name? So that when backups run as scheduled after some time, one can see something like:īackup of Hard Disk 0 - C \ Backup of Hard Disk 0 - C.adiīackup of Hard Disk 0 - C \ Backup of Hard Disk 0 - C.adiīackup of Hard Disk 0 - C\ Backup of Hard Disk 0 - C.adi ADI file, with that name (so "Backup of Hard Disk 0 - C.adi" in the example). When Backupper runs as scheduled, it creates the two folders with the same names, and inside each of those two folders it creates a. ![]() I've chosen two appropriate names for each of the two, e.g. I've setup scheduled backups for C: and D: drives. I'm using "AOMEI Backupper Standard Edition 2.0.2": thanks for this good product! ![]()
