I am trying to copy a bootable Compact Flash Card that has Win XPe on one partition
and data on another partition.
The CFC's I am using are identical in Brand / Size and sectors.
Transcend 2Gb x 133
First partition 0 to 3,677,246
Second partition 3,677,247 to 3,915,071 sector.
Using Raw copy (in Admin mode) with two CFC writers, copies without error.
However when I try to boot the newly created CFC it wont boot.
The screen locks on "Verifying DMI Pool data"
Raw Copy is not the only program that has difficulty doing this job.
I have tried:
WinImage with VHD image in XP and Windows 7
WinHex by coping the whole disk, or by partitions only.(in XP and W7)
Used Transcend's RecoveRx utility, and all disks pass.
Formatted to Fat16 / Fat32 / NTFS.
Used FDisk to partition the disks to a single partition and dual partitions.
Enabled HORM on the source disk and Disable it.
In some of the tests above Win XPe would boot up, but the second partition
is not active, yet it is there.
So, my question:
Are there sectors that are NOT copied and why
does the Target not Boot when making mirror image copies.?
