Restore from a Aomei Disk backup to create a windows SSD drive
I have a 2TB SSD Drive that I just created with a Windows 11 media usb drive. Now, I want to restore the data from my AOEMI disk backup to it. When doing the restore, I select the C partition of the disk backup and restore it to the C partition of my SSD drive. After I do the restore, my laptop will no longer boot up. It is like the data from the Backup is corrupting something with Windows. I made the backup as a regular disk backup of my original SSD drive. Probably should have done a system backup but unfortunately I did not. Is there any way to get the data from the data partition of my back to the SSD drive without corrupting my Windows installation on the SSD Drive?

Thank you.
Yes, that is correct. If anyone took a disk with Windows on it, and overwrote the C partition with a C partition from a different disk, it will not boot on it's own, it is not designed to do that.
Backupper allows you to create a disk, system, partition backup types. Could you please confirm that you are sure that the backup type you are restoring from is a disk backup?
I created a "disk Backup of the SSD drive.
What I really want to do is to restore the backup image which has the old windows installation and the data.
The SSD Drive on the computer was initialized by a repair company when it fixed a keyboard issue so it has a new windows installation with none of my data.
The first thing I did was use Restore --> Select an Image feature on AOMEI BK. I selected the image below to restore from.
Then I selected the SSD disk to restore to. I checked SSD Alignment box and began the restore. The system said it had to restart the laptop and then it began the restore. When it was done, I booted the laptop up and it gave me a blue screen that said I had to repair the drive. Basically it would not boot.
That led me to think that the Image file I used was not a TRUE windows installation image. Then I tried to create a new Windows image on the drive and just restore the C: partition which did not work either.
Obviously, I must be doing something wrong, but I really don't know what else to try.
Please post a screenshot of your backup image partitions, and also of Diskpart > lis dis > sel dis # > det dis > lis par > lis vol
Doing a Diskpart on the SSD drive now will only show you a drive that has a new windows installation on it. But here it is: Disk 1 should be the C drive and Disk 0 will be my D drive once I restore it. Disk 1 does not currently have any of my data. Just a fresh windows installation.
Steps I have tried:
I have tried formatting the SSD drive first using another computer and then restoring the image.
I have tried putting a new windows installation on the SSD drive in the original laptop and then restoring the image.
I have tried putting a new windows installation on the SSD drive in the original laptop and then restoring the C partition only to it.
None of those options render a drive that is bootable. I appreciate any guidance/steps on how to do this that will result in a SSD drive that will have my original image on it and will boot the laptop.
Thank you.
Add custom drivers, such as NVMe, if necessary. Does not work with some monitors.

And, it is an OEM system?
