The offline thing worked, thanks Tobias. The PRO version I bought clearly stated "Free lifetime upgrades and technical support." and STILL says this on their site.
I am getting real frustrated with this company and it'…

benners & uccoffee, please see the IM I sent you. I will avoid mentioning competitors in public on this manufacturers forum.

"Using Backupper, I did a dick clone with no apparent problems"
I think the problem is that you did a DICK clone instead of a DISK clone
We ki…

Yes, I agree about UEFI. As long as the disk is smaller than 2TB I see no real advantage ot it at all, it breaks so many "good old" tools and methods we have honed over the decades. I know MBRs can get hosed aweful quick but dang, the can be fix…

What Ganon said - ONE caveat though. AOMEI might not recognize a few of the many possible primary parittions your brand of PC is using for a Windows 64 bit UEFI booted system.
Becasue UEFI can have a lot more primary pa…

Peter, that's the solution I used as well. While it works it should NOT happen this way, the AMPE recovery disk should convert a disk to the correct boot type automatically and on it's own. I use another manufacturers product and it does this, i…

Wexmary, MBR (legacy) boot and UEFI boot are two entirely different animals and require totally different disk schemes.
If your original system was MBR (legacy) it must remain MBR (legacy) and while the disk can be con…

OK, I have an ISO for you. How can I get the ISO to you? I have no way of transferring a 205 mb file via email.
I took a PC, put FRESH install of Windows 7 64 bit on it using UEFI boot media. Verified the system booted UEFI…

The PE Builder IS halting is the least of my worries, what is really bad is the missing EFI files in the recovery media built by the AOMEI app itself. That and the failure of AOMEI to properly covert a HDD that was previously used as MBR to GPT.…

This still does not fix the issue of the product failing to convert MBR disks to GPT. While I know the difference and can fix the issue, most other "normal" users cannot. Someone, somewhere is going to take a HDD that was previosly used for MBR …

I also spotted this. I was shocked. Even UNinstalling AOMEI will not allow it to be set. I reinstalled Windows just to make sure that it WOULD be available before AOMEI was installed. And it was.
This is just another in a l…

I also note that I booted the PE media via MBR mode and not UEFI mode. I did the smae for the competetors product as well. It works regardless of boot meathod, AOMEI will not.

Yes, the boot sectors is on the one and only disk, this was a FULL DISK backup and restore.
And the solution to restore partition by partition is not really an answer, this mysterious "not fitting" issue needs to be solved.
Sorry to barge in here.
The SYSTEM backup does as YoungCheng says, just backs up the OS's partitions necessary to get the OS running. If YOU or the PCs manufacturer created other partitions for like recovery or a separate DATA…
Please advise when the new version is out. Your OS is NOT safe until it can be backed up AND restored properly.
I happen to use Grub4Dos for bootable USB drive. I then install Easy2Boot scripts (http://www.easy2boot.com/) so that I am able to boot in to many ISOs. …
The advice to run the bootable drive as the OS and then use Backupper would only work if the USB drive is actually running Windows. Mine aren't running Windows but another boot loader - so installing BUP is not an option. I've had similar issues…
Wow, this is a total showstopper for me. I had not resized the C: partition so I cannot restore as a system restore. AOMEI insists that the very disk that the backup came from needs to be .5 GB larger. I restored one partition at a time but hav…
