  • The good drive is a 160GB Western Didital and the one giving the error is a 80GB Seagate. If any of that matters?
  • Thanks Peter. Yes, I used EZ CD Audio Converter to burn the ready ISO file, not create it.


    I can say that the ntldr files are the same size at 244kb each. That's all I can say about that.

  • Yes that is correct... "the restore the first boot goes well, but the first shutdown produces
    Loader Error 3. Then you restore again, the first boot goes well, but
    the first Restart produces Loader Error 3"

  • Ok I just went into Windows XP Pro, Device Manager, Disk Drives, then I right click on both drives in question, went to Properties, went to the Volumes Tab, clicked Populate and BOTH drives show up as Partion Style: Master Boot Record (MB…

  • I first must say that I appreciate ALL of the replies.


    Actually such a command does exist in Diskpart and it is: "At the DISKPART prompt, type:

    convert basic" Disk…

  • Very odd... both drives have the same exact folder view settings (Do not show hidden files and folders and Hide protected operating system files) yet the spare drive shows boot.ini in the root of C and the good drive does not. Odd. I then changed bo…

  • It was GPT, but I saw the warning in Aomei there could be issues with a backup so I used DISKPART and converted it to "Basic" NTFS before the restore. Now both drives, the original, and the spare drive are Basic NTFS, Healthy Sys…

  • This problem only occurs with the drive to which the image is restored to. The original drive works just fine. It may be a windows error, but it seems Aomei is the cause.

  • Thanks that's very helpful image

  • The computer in quesion has XP on it. I have different OS... XP, Win7, and Win8.1. I have only tried to do XP at the moment.

  • Below are three screen shots. One is Windows Disk Management, one is AOMEI System Backup and the other one is AOMEI Disk Backup. Look and let me know. Thank you very much!


    in System Backup, Disk Backup, and Partition backup? Comment by BlackHawk March 2016

  • After doing some searches it seems this bug has been around for a LONG time. Is there any reason why it has not been fixed yet? It doesn't give me much confidence in the program.


    I don't know what you mean by burn from t…

  • Yes, but there are links in my post above that state one is for Win7 and the other is for WinXP. I was asking which one I should get and no one addressed the WinXP AIK link.

  • No offense, while I appreciate the help, no one has properly addressed my original post the way it could have been addressed.


    System Backup on my Windows 7 computer can see C:OS and *:Recovery.


  • Hmm...  did you see in my links above there is a download link for AIK for Win7 and a different AIK download for WinXP? You still are telling me I want to put the AIK for Win7 on a computer runnugn WinXP? That doesn't sound right.

  • Ok so System Backup is a little like System Restore built into Windows and will only backup the C drive (boot), it won't backup any hidden partions, won't backup the OEM partion, and won't backup any other partions that you make... it strickly do…

  • Thank you for the reply.


    A disk can have many partitions: Hidden, recovery, rescue, OS, data etc.


    I understand that.
