Back up one partition to two

I understand a li'l bit better now. Those LETTER assignments you see are only used by AOMEI when mounting those partitions of your image in a LIVE Windows for perusing purposes (they would be mounted as "virtual" partitions, not real ones)... they have no meaning as far as partition restoration or original designation is concerned. That is an image of your Disk #0, which is your current LIVE System disk. It looks like a Windows 7 basic configuration (or built from one) with SYSTEM RESERVED and C: being the partitions needed to BOOT your System, RECOVER being a special OEM (who's the manufacturer of your System, BTW?) partition to allow you to return to your original out-of-box System, and a private 1gB partition, probably used by the OEM for diagnostic purposes.

Most of that stuff on Disk #2 'cept for Partition V: seems to have been created by AOMEI (or others) and serves no real purpose at this point. My suggestion... uninstall AOMEI, delete all partitions on Disk #2 'cept for V, reinstall AOMEI then create an EXTERNAL BOOT Recovery Media (UFD). Use only the UFD BOOT Recovery Media from AOMEI to do future AOMEI things, not some internal discombobulated AOMEI restoration media... the whole process should become simpler and you can recover another 1-tB of usable space on disk #2 (for a new partition or expansion of the existing V partition). You really need to simplify that System

A FREE tool to help you do this would be Minitool's PARTITION WIZARD which can delete all those unnecessary partitions on disk #2 and also extend the V partition if you choose to do that. I would do that work after you've uninstalled AOMEI. Since disk #2 has no real LOCKED partitions on it, these operations may be done under the LIVE Windows System.

Since @Brian K is sleeping at the moment (an Aussie, ya know), you may want to wait for his comments on all this before moving forward, your call. Any additional questions, feel free to ask in the meantime.

 

Thanks for that
It's Win 7Home Premium 64 bit on a Medion MD8341. I note your comments re Disk 2. I can't remember what I created but I think I burned it to a USB to boot.

 

TRF,

Nice. That's an excellent analysis of a complex system. Those four virtual partitions came out of left field.

David, follow TRF's suggestions. I'd also do something about your over full partitions. System performance reduces when you have less than 15% Free space in a partition. Especially the C: drive.

 

You should have never needed to create a Recovery Structure on one of your LIVE disks, all existing imaging programs should allow you to create either a UFD (USB Flash Disk) directly or an ISO file. If ISO file, it can then be flashed to any blank UFD using the "Rufus" free tool available on the internet.

That's the way I would go...

 

...and that external USB-connected H drive is almost useless as well. Clean-up time, David

 

I had no other way, that I knew of, to copy the disk that would not boot to a new ssd.I'm not an imaging specialist.

I think I made a USB flash to boot from. What's wrong with disk H.?

 

It's absolutely FULL... along with L! As Brian mentioned, dealing with disks this full is a super burden on your OS and your System speed requirements.

If they're both SSDs you may not notice but if they're HDDs there will be access speed issues.

 

"It's absolutely FULL.."
I know that
Can I use AOMEI Partition Assistant to delete all partitions on Disk #2 'cept for V and so not have to uninstall AOMEI backupper

 

Sure... but AOMEI Backupper may Know something (Recovery BOOT items it's created in the past) it has done before, may confuse you in the future. I'd try it and see what happens along the way. If it screws up, you can always uninstall/reinstall anyway.

 

Apparently the three small partitions are in case one needs to make the drive bootable and in case of use with a Mac.

I created a UFD on another computer and used it to boot this. I probably put a copy of the ampe. iso on the 6tb but didn't make a one tb partition for it.

Now I have deleted the one tb partition and extended the V. I used the mini tool partition tool as the free aomei wouldn't let me extend v, it needs pro version for that
