In the example shown in the previous link, the 'after' image showed his D drive as still being marked 'active' - if that proves a problem, check this link on how to make a non-system disk 'inactive'.
Save it as an .iso file and burn using the 'other application'.
But it looks like the boot files are on D.
If you power off, disconnect D and reboot (selecting the C drive in bios) would Windows boot up?
Anyhow, here's a similar situation in the link.

I've restored an actual data disk image (a separate ssd drive, not a partition) that was created with Window 7 - from Windows 10.
I restored it to a newly created secondary partition which I created on the Windows 10 disk (I shrunk 'C' wh…
Reading about my motherboard (ASUS P7P55D-E) it doesn't support this - thus the drive would not be bootable?
I can try the conversion and restore etc if you wish, but would that answer the original question since the drive (even if it was r…
It's MBR at present, how would I change it?
I took the Win 10 1TB Seagate drive and formatted it.
Deleted the volume making the full drive space unallocated with no drive letter.
Booted with the PE stick.
Did a Win 10 system restore to the disk OK.
Restored the seco…
I took an existing 1TB Seagate HDD that had Win 10 system on the single boot partition.
Modified HDD to shrink 'C' and made a new partition 'L'.
'C' drive (boots W10).
New partition 'L' a data drive.
Sorry, I've never partitioned my drives (use separate drives) or had a PC with a recovery partition.
Someone elese will have to chime in.
Did you make a 'Disk backup' or a 'System Backup'?
I find that a 'Disk backup' of the HDD which actually boots Windows (typically the 'C' drive) causes lots of problems, whereas a 'System Backup' of 'C' will restore without problems.
<…Odd that your boot didk doesn't boot (I assume your PC is set to boot first from the CD drive).
If you have a valid image file on the HDD, you could run AOMEI on another PC and have it open the image - the HDD would have to be …
Yes I tried that.
It complains that files are missing when creating the ISO.
It boots to a deadly black screen.
I found an old 'Ultimate' image from 2014-05.
Restored it and created the PE builder USB boot flash drive.
The first time it said it was installing the USB 3 drivers, but when booted, the drives on the USB 3 ports were not visible.
Windows is up to date as of 2015-08-19.
My "operating system" is Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit - I'm not clear on what you mean by "updated to the month of January" means.
I went back as far as v1.2 and it still blue screens and that 'capcha' feature sucks big time.
Version 1.5 W7 HE 64.
Minimal (no tools or drivers added) ISO or USB boot to BSOD.
Anything happening?
Is the mouse ina a usb 3 port (it's coloured blue)?
If it is, it suggests that the USB 3 drivers aren't being loaded, then you must add them at the time you make the bootable disk.
Is the USB mouse in a a USB 3 port?
Are USB 3 drivers on boot disk?
Then a restore from the backup files on option (2) will do a restore on both disks?
I think we have a failure to communicate.
Look at the posted images:
1. If Home edition is booted and system backup is selected, only that C drive is selected.
2. If Ultimate is booted and system backup is selected, both drives …
They are separate drives.
When Home Edition is selected, one drive is offered.
When Ultimate is selected, two dives are offered.

No these are separate drives - not partitions on the same drive.
Using EasyBCDBoot and selecting 'Home Edition', this is what you get with a system backup.
in AOMEI Backupper not seeing one system drive Comment by sidrick July 2015
I use a dual boot menu to select between Home and Ultimate.
If the drive with the boot menu is selected (Home) , then a system backup only selects that drive.
If I boot into the second drive (Ultimate) a system backup selects both dri…
Drive 'C' is the System drive (the one with the os).
Backup 'D' seperately : Backup > Disk Backup.
Both my Logitech keyboard and mouse (Mk320 combo) work just fine, the receiver is in a USB 2 port.
I use Win 7 HE 64 bit.
The only drivers added were for the USB 3 ports (on the mobo).
I have a Logitech wireless mouse and didn't have to do anything to have it work with the PE AFAIK, all Logitech mice can use the Microsoft drivers.
Do you have a ps2 mouse you can plug in to test.
What your image shows is the compressed contents of the .exe file.
Run the exe file and it will extract the contents to a default location or, as I prefer, to a new folder handy on the desktop.
It's the final step where it offers to a…
