@Owaisahmed, Did you mean that you can't boot the restored XP system? Could you take a photo of the boot error?
In addition, what backup did you perform? System backup? disk backup? And, did you perform the restore to the original disk of same computer via WinPE bootable media?

NTLDR is missing

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

Is that the error? I am experimenting in XP and I got that error a month ago after a restore. My mistake was, I did a disk backup and partition backup and then mistakenly restored to a different drive letter or partition drive letter. The restore must be back to the same drive letter that the backup was from. The same with a System Backup.

Normally, the drive letter is C: for the operation system. But I have XP on other drive letters and partitions.

When I found the correct drive letter for a restore, XP would boot OK. But sometimes I also had to fix the master boot record with bootsect:

bootsect /nt52 <driveletter> /mbr

Use Aomei Tools in Windows 7, 8 or 10 to create bootable media to USB boot device. With the XP disk in, boot the USB in BIOS via the F12 key. bootsect.exe is in Tools, Windows Shell. In the system32 folder.

I forgot to say make sure the files ntldr, ntdetect.com and boot.ini are in there. They are hidden.

Windows XP hasn't been supported by Microsoft for over 8 years now. It honestly makes no sense for 3rd party companies to sink into supporting an OS that they cannot even work with Microsoft on issues for.

You should update these systems to a modern OS if they are important enough for you to be backing up.

Windows Vista ended 2012 and Windows 7 support ended early 2020 also. It does not matter if an operating system is not supported by the company that built it. That's got nothing to do with it. Do you really think Aomei programmers ask Microsoft for help on compiling their backup programs? If a 3rd party program company builds a backup program for old operating systems also, that is their business - not yours.

Don't tell people to update their OS. They can use whatever they like, and It's not your business. To me this is like telling them to stop using their old car and get off the road.

There are some expensive programs that are already installed onto WinXP, have been activated, and cannot be reactivated on a new OS without spending a lot of money. Aomei knows there are rare scenarios like these, and realizes the need for good backup & clone software on WinXP.
