That ended with the “failed to load windows” message on reboot. The first is that the restore operation from within Windows didn’t work. The way I described the situation perhaps wasn’t very clear. Specs: MSI 390-A motherboard, Intel i5-9600k processor, Logitech K120 keyboard, and Logitech G402 mouse.

Both the keyboard & the mouse work fine in BIOS, as well as within Windows, but both quit when the media finishes booting and the AOMEI program loads.īIOS settings tell me the boot mode is Legacy+UEFI, the BIOS Mode is UEFI/Legacy, and Legacy USB support is enabled. I also have a usb/ps2 adapter for the mouse, and the mouse didn’t work using it either. I also tried both a USB flash drive and a DVD for the boot media–same results.īoth the mouse and keyboard are USB wired. I went back into my admin account and downloaded a fresh version of AOMEI and tried again–same results. None of the lights on the devices were lit none of the keys did anything. Rebooting from the disk brought me to the AOMEI menu screen, where neither the mouse nor keyboard were functional. So I went back into my Admin account, and created a new bootable rescue disk. After it churned around for awhile, I got a message saying Windows failed to start, insert Windows Installation Disk, etc. After selecting the restore image, the software did its thing and announced its normal need to go into reboot mode.

I have used this program for quite some time and have never had a problem with either a backup or a restore. I ran the initial restore attempt from within Windows. By the time I got done messing around, my computer was completely messed up, so I went to restore an image I made just a couple of days ago with AOMEI free version. I ended up in a OneDrive situation that moved my desktop items from the users folder to the one drive folder.
