Boot Disk winxp
Gentlemen,
I have a net top (No dvd drive) with win xp as operating system.
Using your AOMEI backupper standard v 2.1, I created a boot up disc
on a usb sd card after installing the windows AIK and the program
returned a success message:
"........ALL OPERATIONS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY.
SUCCEEDED IN CREATING THIS BOOTABLE DEVICE.
YOU CAN USE THIS USB DEVICE TO BOOT YOUR COMPUTER
NOTE: AFTER COMPLETING THE BOOTABLE DISC, IF IT IS UNABLE TO BOOT
FROM THE COMPUTER, YOU COULD USE FAQ TO SOLVE THE ROBLEM"
When I tried to boot with this disk (AFTER changing the boot
sequence in the bios to boot FIRST from USB KEY:GENERIC STORAGE
DEVICE (R/F) F), the bios returns an error as follows:
"A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED. PRESS CONTRL+ALT+DEL TO
RESTART"
I MADE ANOTHER BOOT DISK AND IT MET WITH THE SAME RESULT.
I went to your site and searched the FAQ as well as other
articles, BUT I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING TO EITHER KNOW OR FIX THIS
ERROR.
Pl help me with a solution.
Thanks
Raman

I have successfully created a boot disk for windows 7 on a USB sd card and it WORKS alright! On booting with it, it boots and backupper auto starts........ Will try usb stick too as suggested
You may also need to check the boot order and priority in the BIOS.
USB has been made the first boot device in the bios, that is why I got the error "A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED. PRESS CONTRL+ALT+DEL TO
RESTART"
Does this stick work on other PCs and does Windows Explorer allow you to navigate it?
Netbooks sometimes default to PXE boot, which is why I checked. Does the USB have a high priority entry in the BIOS?
1. Yes sir, this stick works normally in this pc as well as another pc I have. And explorer IS alowing normal navigation of this stick and can, read, write.
2. Yes Please: the usb is set to be the first priority in the bios for purpose of checking the boot disk created by the bacupper. It is baffling.......
3. I tried with a brand new flash drive but in vain. both sd card as well as flash drive behaved exactly same and the bios reported the read error.
4. Now that I have installed the windows AIK, can I use the windows to create boot disk? If yes, how can I make the backupper load automaticaly at boot time to enable restore?
Thanks for your help
