Peter no I have not tried fsutil and ntfs......I want to read more to be sure that I do not cause more problems.
The reason I used clone rather than backup and restore was because I was going from a boo…

Peter's post #4 above gave me the idea to see if a recovery program could dredge out anything from the former boot, now RAW, partition.…
-
Peter: I had a closer look at the thread and there is a similarity insofar as the partitions in both cases became raw [my partition is identified as raw and did not change in size while the ones in the other thread are identified…
-
Peter: I had a look at that thread and it related to drive letter assignment. The issue here is that the original drive that was cloned was obliterated and became raw, unformated. The drive letter assignment to the now RAW par…

Admin: Due to life intervening, I was not able to post the results of trying to boot my computer with the SSD disconnected.
The computer hung with the BIOS saying "loading operating system". I waited …
-
Peter: I did the clone a while ago so the size difference is probably due to installations and/or updates after that; I have just posted this question now since I had the time to do so. I too found the location of partition I: o…
-
Johnny, both the HDD and the SSD are internal, no USB involved. Cloning was done with them both being installed internally. Both drives remain internally with the same cabling as when I did the cloning. Note that I cloned the …

SIW2....thank you for the explanation regarding Ammy and the other programs.
Without getting into a spitting contest, McAfee, Symantec, TrendMicro are generally regarded as significant players in the anti-virus market. …

sidrick, I extracted the files from the EXE but I did not get any subfolders such as you described. I did not execute, i.e. double click the EXE, since you said not to install the files. Should I have double clicked the EXE? Would that have gi…

TigerBill, when you get this sorted out I would appreciate knowing where the drivers came from on your system that enabled you to use USB. My attempts did not even have the success you now have. I do not know if my mouse is USB 2 or 3 and wheth…
-
SIW2, I guess I was too short when I said "pass". What I was saying was that I would not touch this file either given the significant number of hits from well known virus scanners.
If the virus/trojan hits are due to Ammy as y…

There is also a clone function in Backupper that you should consider.

TigerBill,
I tried making a disk with the drivers I could find too but I was more wideranging than you. I found c:\windows\inf and threw them all onto the disk via the add drivers option. I chose the .inf files since I knew t…
-
SIW2, the file you provided shows that 23 of 57 visus scanners at virustotal.com detected, well let's call it 'something bad'.
-
TigerBill, glad to see that my off the wall idea worked for you. That it did just points out again that there are serious issues relating to USB devices and Backupper. I hope Aomei is able to fix these problems.....soon.

TigerBill, I had problems using my Win 7 created WinPE disk, specifically it not seeing my USB mouse [it worked with a PS 2 mouse] and the mouse being active on a Win 8 created disk but with no cursor. Things USB seem to be problematic with the …

RCC44, we've gone as far as we -- I at least
-- can, so I too will wait and see. At least I now have a way to use the Backupper images if MS fouls up another Windows Update.…

RC44 and Admin:
Well I tried RC44's Win8PE ISO and the laser on my mouse lit up but there was no cursor. I had great hopes when I saw the laser light up. I also understand what RC44 meant by the various buttons flickering when I passed ov…

RC44 I apparently cannot read well. Dropbox does not require an account to download so I am dowloading your ISO right now. I will let you know how it works.
-
RC44, I was going to try your disk on my machine to see how it would work given the odd differences in how my disk worked on your machine compared to mine. But I am not up to wrangling with another registration process right now. Maybe later.
-
RC44, good to hear that it worked for you albeit with odd differences from how it worked on my computer. The strangest thing is that USB 2 will work but not USB 3 -- my motherboard has both so my disk should also. I wonder if that relates to th…
-
RC44, I created an ISO of the boot disk I used and uploaded it to mediafire. I went there because you did not used to need any sort of account etc. They changed that and you need to register something, i.e. whatever you want to make up …
-
RC44, if you have not yet had time to make a disk on your sister's machine, I could upload an iso of my Win 7 boot disk should you prefer that option. It has the advantage of having been used on my machine so I know 100% that it works.

Your issue made me wonder whether Backupper used some sort of swap space on the source drive, i.e. where the image was located, and that drive is too full. The other q…
RC44, when I booted from the PE disk with the PS2 mouse I immediately saw the cursor on the screen and was able to move it too. The mouse transplant was a bit of a chore given where I have my desktop but it was much easier than the work you did …
RC44: I had kept the discussion in Storage Guides but I was not getting an response from Aomei so I decided to toss it into Support also [which is where I think I should have posted in the first place, oops] to see if it got more attention. I w…
