Thanks A.Could I use the PA 10.3 SSD USB clone of PC1 HDD_1 to migrate OS to PC1 HDD_2?
As we have discussed in this thread, PA 10.3 SSD USB is clone that does not boot. -
Hello again. I created a PE Builder 2.0 iso and it booted nicely under ventoy. Very nice set of tools.I tried the ASUS <esc> fast boot for both boot options. Neither worked.Thanks A. Here is the ventoy screen-cap of PC1.UEFI
Please post a link for making “AOMEI Wi…“Why use old ASUS?”
?
- have 3 other ASUS exactly same - guy owed me $$$ years ago
- PC1 has office 2007 and Acrobat pro xi
- test physical cloning on older machines
Let me try ventoy and I will respond with info.I disabled CSM in the BIOS. I moved the UEFI SanDIsk boot option to be first. This caused blue-screen.
ASUS X551M BIOS is from 2014 - 10 years old.
I didn't see any driver updates for the SanDisk Extreme SSD 2TB => maybe onl…Before I did OS Migration, I merged 2 partitions.PA 10.3 partition merge log and OS Migration log attached.Well - we've cleared the boot-loop issue at this point, so I will consider this problem closed.
Ultimately, it was an issue with corrupted or missing boot files on the SYSTEM partition.
Use the commands from the previous 3 post…“ The (source) ASUS seems to have a corrupted SYSTEM partition. ”
OK, I was correct about the SYSTEM partition.The following are the commands that got the source ASUS to boot.“ Must be something with UEFI or the BIOS settings.”It’s probably not a BIOS or UEFI issue because WinPE boots from USB and that’s UEFI mode.Must be something with the partitions on the internal ASUS dri…01 I did some commands to try to fix the source system (ASUS) boot. All commands completed successfully.Bootrec /fixmbr

I got WinPE to boot from USB. Nice tool.Here is bcdedit.
What else to check …The source ASUS c drive is there. But the boot files aren’t found. Interesting that I setup a partition on this machine 4 years ago with PA 9.1.
Let's see if I can get it to go.
I will try the WIn PE builder now.
in AOMEI Backupper 7.3.2 SSD Clone gets stuck in "boot-loop" Comment by Russ_McGee February 8I figured out that wouldn’t want to do the format as the last 2 posts asked. That would delete all data from the source ASUS.
I still cannot boot from 2 different clones, which I believe windows repair corrupted.I<…So, maybe AOMEI can answer me.This link - same as above

Amazingly cool and useful tool. Thanks for that one.That’s Win10 home edition, btw. Probably the 22H2 build.Diskpart > lis dis > sel dis # > det dis > lis par > lis volThis is the Sandisk SSD:
Hi again. Thanks for the tool tips. Maybe I celebrated too soon, though. :-)Here are some answers to questions asked to someone else:1) Which motherboard mode Legacy-BIOS, UEFI-CSM, UEFI-nonCSM?Hi again. Thanks for the tips, AiA. I downloaded Clonezilla as a backup solution.I should have mentioned that the SSD I'm using is an external one connected via USB.My plan is to:
