PE Boot disk
Hello,
I am currently evaluating various options for disk backup/cloning. I have read a lot of nice things about AOMEI so I downloaded it, installed it, and was very pleased by the ease of use to create a disk backup which I stored on an external USB drive. Flawless. Then, I went on to try and create a boot disk, for which I was planning to use a simple USB stick. No matter what I tried, it just wouldn't work. I originally assumed it was a defective USB device, so I tried creating just an ISO file, and that's just not working. I see the progress bar going fairly quick, and I then get the message:
Processing...
Preparing to create WinPE image.
Creating WinPE ISO image.
Create WinPE ISO image failed!
Process failed.
Note: when failed to create a bootable USB drive or disc directly, you could see FAQ to solve the problem.
I tried Legacy, I tried UEFI, with and without downloading the WinPE Creating environment, and it just fails. I do have write access on the destination folder where I was attempting to write the ISO.
If I try to create directly on the USB stick, I get the following similar message:
Note: Do not unplug the USB device during creation.
Processing...
Preparing to create WinPE image.
Creating WinPE ISO image.
Create WinPE ISO image failed!
Process failed.

Any suggestions?

You have an UEFI machine. Try making a Boot disk/ISO on another UEFI machine.
