Hello all
I have just changed my pc, but moved the disks (SSD with system and 2 SATA hdd with data etc) to my new machine.
I use AOMEI for backups, and have run into a problem. I had set up a schedule to backup the system disk (C:) on my old
machine but when I run the backup on the new machine I receive a 4089 error from AOMEI. The schedule worked fine
on my old machine and I have not changed it.
Setting up the schedule again by selecting System leads to the O/S partition on my C: drive being selected correctly,
but not the *System Reserved partition and my E: drive is also selected as being a system disk.
From Minitool Partition Wizard Free 12.7 the disks are:
Disk 1 (ST1500DL003-9VT16L SATA, MBR, 1.36 tb)
E: Data, Capacity 1397.26 GB, Used 618.72 GB, Unused 778.35 GB, File System >NTFS, Type Primary, Status Active & System
Disk 2 (Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB SATA, MBR, 465.76 GB)
*System Reserved, Capacity 416.64 MB, Used 28.48 MB, Unused 388.21 MB,
File System NTFS, Type Primary, Status Active & Hidden
C:, Capacity 465.35 GB, Used 157.24GB, Unused 308.11 GB,
File System NTFS, Type Primary, Status Boot
The disk setup reported is exactly the same as the disks in my old machine >with the exception of the E: drive being set as System.
Can anyone please advise me ?
TIA
Following on, the BIOS boot order is set to Disk1 followed by Disk
2, SSD. Would changing the boot order fix the problem ? I
hesitate to do this without advice from someone with more
knowledge than I have.

Does the system boot at the moment? If not, try F12 on startup (or
maybe some other incantation if not a Dell system). Then you can
choose the boot device and test from there. Get past the hesitation,
it's only a nuts-and-bolts machine. You have already got the AOMEI
backups ready for recovery from any real issues. No need to be
nervous!
Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately I do not have the AOMEI backup because as I said the backup fails because of
the E: drive being treated as System.
I will certainly try boot from SSD and see what happens.

Following on, the BIOS boot orderbe pertinent for down-the-road better partition managment/configuration.
is set to Disk1 followed by Disk 2, SSD.
