Win 10 win PE Boot Disk won't boot

Hi all,


I have installed Backupper 4.0.3 and have created a backup of my dad's Dell Inspiron 5759 laptop (win 10 pro x64 creators edition with all current updates).


When running the utility to create the Win PE boot disk, I can create it without issues? At least, there are no errors reported. However when I try to boot from the usb pen drive I get the following error:


image

I have tried using the export to iso option and simply copying across the files as well with the same result :(


I tried what I did before on windows 7 (see this topic) to overcome this but it sill provides the same error.


Please help as I want to test that this system image backup works prior to my dad picking this up on Tuesday next week.


Thanks in advanced :)

    Notes:


    Booted via usb (think legacy).

    Secure boot is disabled in bios.

    AHCI is enabled is bios.

    No bios password.

    Did you create the WinPE boot disk based on legacy boot mode or UEFI boot mode?

    There seem to be a lot of people having trouble making the media disk using AOMEI program. I emailed support and they gave me a link to an ISO file that worked. It was a win 7 iso but worked fine with win 10. 

    I finally did some research and found the new ADK packages on a Microsoft site.https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/winpe-create-a-boot-cd-dvd-iso-or-vhd. They have the links for win 1703 and 1607 versions. After downloading, you only need to install 2 sections. Deployment tools and windows pre environment. After installing try AOMEI media creation again. Good luck. Maybe this will work for you.

    Can you try booting from CD/DVD instead of USB? USB seems always to be problematic with any program, not only Aomei... Burn your ISO to a DVD with a special ISO burning program, that is, not the ISO file itself like some people do.

    And remember, when booting on a BIOS/MBR machine you need a BIOS/MBR bootable medium. When booting on a UEFI/GPT machine you need a UEFI/GPT medium made on a UEFI/GPT 64-bit machine.

    You can boot a 32-bit medium on a 64 bit machine but not the other way around.

    And AFAIK Linux CD only boots on BIOS/MBR.


    For USB: have you tried using Rufus to create bootable USB?

    Hi all, I created it using UEFI mode, not legacy.


    I gave up on Backupper as my dad is collecting the laptop tomorrow.


    I've used the built in Windows tool instead and it is working so I will simply stick with that.

    Hello,

    PE rescue media can't boot in UEFI mode because in EFI directory  boot directory with bootx64.efi inside is missing, you neeed to copy boot directory from Windows 10 installation image .

    best regards

  • pete_agreatguypete_agreatguy

    That's stupid. Why isn't it included by default?

    I just made a Win8.1 EFI iso with Aomei version 3.5.

    Even though the file bootx64.efi is missing the DVD boots anyway...


    Then I made a Win10 C.U. EFI iso -> CD with Aomei version 4.0.3.

    Win 10 takes some time to boot from a CD, but it did. This one also lacked bootx64.efi.

    The Aomei boot disks use Bootmgr.efi

    Hello

    when build pe rescue iso boot directory is missing , not when build usb key

  • adminadmin

    If you created it using UEFI mode, you need to boot from UEFI, not legacy.

  • stoneycstoneyc

    you need to make the usb stick with legacy mode option in aomie i tried uefi did the same thing but when i made the usb stick with legacy mode option it worked
