My laptop will not boot. The error msg says:
"Reboot and select proper boot device..." so apparently it is not recognizing my hard drive as a boot device.
Here's what happened. My laptop had a motherboard failure, but the HDD seemed okay. I removed it and put it in a USB enclosure and performed a full disk image backup with Backupper onto an external drve.
I reinstalled the HDD in the laptop and sent it for repair. It came back with a new motherboard, and the original HDD reformatted to a factory Windows 10 install.
I backed that install up with Backupper, and then attempted to restore my original disk image. It appeared to complete okay. But...
When I tried booting, I got that message above. I checked the BIOS, and it lists the HDD as first boot device.
I have repeated the restore a few times, using a USB restore drive created from Backupper on another computer. (Specified to legacy BIOS.) I made sure to specify Universal Restore. I restored each partition separately, specifying Universal Restore each time, and making sure the main drive was C:. I still get "Reboot and select proper boot device."
The BIOS screeen still lists the HDD as the first boot device. "Launch CSM" is Enabled.
I hope someone can help. I am at wit's end. I am using the Professional version, by the way.
Thanks.
Hi,
my system freezes completely while trying to make disc image backups from my system drive (full backup).
I use Windows 10 x64 on a lenovo ThinkPad T540p, and a Samsung SSD with basic disc layout.
The Problem is independent of using VSS or AOMEIs own alternative.
Backupper writes around 25 MB to the external (USB3) hard drive, and according to Windows Resource Monitor it reads a lot of data with maximum speed from system-ssd, but don't write anything to the target drive. After some minutes Backuper stops reading from source-ssd. The system drive is somehow completely locked for any writes, but system tasks reads data from the disc. Because of the ongoing write lock the system freezes and i need to make a hard reset. I am somehow perplexed.
Thank you for any help.
