Good Afternoon Folks,
I have an old HP desktop PC on which I run 32-bit Windows XP that never goes near the Net, but would still like to backup using AOMEI Backupper (Free v5.8) as insurance against potential HDD failure. The program installs quite happily on the machine and seems readily able to make backups and then restore them, and also appears to have an acceptable feature set, but for the life of me I can’t get it to generate a legacy-bootable Windows PE-based Rescue Stick that will successfully boot…
When Backupper's included PE tool creates the stick directly, the end product wont even attempt to boot - full stop! A slightly better result is achieved when a separate ISO is first created, which is then transferred to a stick via Rufus. But whilst the latter method produces boot attempts that initially appear to be succeeding, they nonetheless eventually stall to the tune of the following error code and message:
“0xc000035a… This 64-bit application couldn’t load because your PC doesn’t have a 64-bit processor…”
Could it possibly be significant that I downloaded the AOMEI installer on my 64-bit (Windows 7) laptop, and then transferred it when offline again to the 32-bit XP machine in question…? (Perhaps AOMEI has two versions of installer according to the required architecture, and they auto-detect your particular architecture when you acquire the download, but the embedded Windows PE builder is a single 64-bit component that is unfortunately common to both versions of installer…?) Being a 32-bit version of XP on the affected machine, there just doesn’t seem to be any easy method to determine what architecture the AOMEI installation thinks it is…
Anyhow, might any of you have encountered a similar scenario with Backupper, and were you ever able to find a workaround or solution?
Just by the by, I’ve tried the separate standalone PE Builder app that AOMEI also offers (that includes Backupper in its menu) but even without any of its optional tools selected, the number of standard programs that are bundled into the thing creates a stick that simply overwhelms my Desktop’s paltry RAM…
Many Thanks in advance,
Clouseau.
