win10 recovered system doesn not boot

Thread needs solution

hi !

 

having a problem with boot-performance of one of my pc's i wanted to test, if my system

would boot faster, when booting from another disk-drive in the same pc

 

so i took an ATI2017 backup-of my win10 (home) and recovered it into  free/unformatted

space on the second diskdrive of my pc (i did it using rescue media for backup and recovery so no

windows system was active during this operations)

than i configured the new system to the BCD (using EasyBCD) 

 

now booting my pc shows up that two systems -  bootig into the 'copy' brings up the windows logo and

the circling points but after a while they disappear and system does not boot  (unless diskdrive shows

high activity)

 

thanks for hints, how to make the 'copy' bootable too

Kurt, I have not tried doing as you describe when setting up a dual-boot system.  I am using such a computer at the moment but the way I set this up was to do a clean install of the second copy of Windows (10 - 64bit) on to the second drive partition then make any modification to the BCD using EasyBCD.

Once I have the second copy of Windows up & working OK, then I make a backup image after which, if I wanted, I could then restore a different backup of Windows to that second partition (knowing I can get back to my starting point again if needed).  The BCD store is on my first Windows OS partition (this computer doesn't have a separate Microsoft System Reserved or UEFI partition where the BCD would live otherwise), so as long as I only restore the actual OS partition, not the MBR, track 0 or any other partitions, then all should continue to work for both dual-boot OS's.

My reason for the dual-boot of Windows was because my primary partition OS is running the Windows 10 Insiders builds whereas the second copy is on the last stable Windows 10 build (1703 - Creator's update) - so if I hit any significant problems with the Insiders builds, I still have a working OS to fall back on while I figure out what to do.
