Cloning Bootable Compact Flash
I'm trying to clone a bootable compact flash card with windows xp embedded. It doesn't seem to be working. I am doing a disk clone and it seems to copy everything, but when I use the new card, it doesn't boot. Any suggestions? Also, I am running the AOMEI Backupper Professionial v7.2.0

Please add custom drivers, such as NVMe, if necessary

Great tools not from Aomei:
Hirens Boot PE - live USB tool suite
To add custom drivers such as NVMe, simply put them into the “CustomDrivers” folder. Hirens is not recommended in combination with Ventoy USB.

If the source disk has Bad Sectors, use Expert Mode > "-rescue" option to continue cloning all readable sectors

Always backup your disks before performing operations in Diskpart. In general, do not have 2 disks simultaneously inserted that have the same UUID / Disk Signature, that could cause a collision, or one disk could be turned offline.
