hi

have cloned bootable win7 wintogo onto external usb3.0; now want to migrate BACK to new (replaced) internal hdd on laptop;

apprec pointers / steps;

tia

I have cloned my Windows 7 SP1 64-bit using WinToUSB 3.1 to a Sandisk 500 external SSD. My laptop is a Lenovo T440. Before to clone I disabled the USB 3.0 support from BIOS to permit the windows 7 boot. The cloning was successfull.

Unfortunately, when I tried to boot from Sandisk I got Stop 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFC00000005, ..........).

I'm able to boot in Safe Mode.

Any suggestion? Many thanks in advance.

So right now I use WintoUSB to use my laptop that has a broken HDD and everything is going really well! (It's an ASUS N550JK-DS71T, by the way) But the one, most aggravating issue is that whenever the computer is put to sleep, Windows ejects all flash drives including WintoUSB, essentially shutting down Windows by doing so. (And this gets really troublesome as I move between some classes).

So I came here to ask, does anybody know a way I can stop Windows from ejecting flashdrives when it sleeps? (Windows Settings? BIOS Settings?) Thanx.

hi all,

newbie, apprec quick clarification;

thinking to use wintousb (or wintohdd) to create bootable image of win7 installation - idea being to keep an image (status as of date of clone), so as able to re-image back to same laptop - basically backup/restore to point in time;

would this be acceptable usage scenario?
which more appropriate, wintousb or wintohdd?

I have downloaded the Windows 10 ISO and installed WinToUSB 3.1 successfully.  When trying to use Windows To Go Conversion on the step "Please select the destination disk", my Sandisk Extreme 64GB USB 3.0 SDCZ80-064G-G46 drive dismounts and I receive the following error: Failed to run system API.(0x00320015011F0000).  I have to go back into computer management to re-assign the drive and format it before seeing it in My Computer again.  I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a Surface Pro 4 with Bitlocker and Windows Defender activated.  I have tried turning Windows Defender off, but the same warning continued to appear.  The logs are attached.  Please advise.  Thanks!

Hello dear support team,

I tried installing various windows OS with various versions of the program on a sandisk 32 GB USB device.
However it always errors out with the well known system api error. For specifics, I put the user.log in the attachment.

I hope you can fix this issue for me (:

Best regards

I have created a win10 copy installation on a 120gb usb solid drive .
I had to use VHD to copy my current installation . Starting up was
very slow , then I started my virtual box into this XP virtual . Its
going like a train , and uses the image of the main computer drive.

I am completely confused about what I have cloned , is it just the
start partition ?

Anyway , it is MEGA .

Cheers ian

Hey guys,
i got a problem with WinToUSB. After i selected my USB Drive it show me my partitions, but i cant select them. There is a box to click but it won't. don't know what i have done wrong. In another thread someone fixed it with expanding his allocation but this didnt helped me. Some ideas or solution?

Hy,
I have a 30GB Kingston DataTraveller USB Sick. Win-to-USB formats it to only 1 partition (MBR, NTFS). So I cant go on, as the second partition is missing.

I took the stick to a Linux and created 2 partitions (Fat32, NtfS) using gparted, as Windows cant do that (i think).

BUT when I use that stick, Win-to-USB reformats it again after selection of the target device!

How to do that?

p.s.: whats the minimum size of the boot partition? (I want to install Win10 on the USB Stick).

Thx!
