How to clone and back up the C drive when the AHCI mode of the SATA in the Sony Z15 notebook is enabled? - China DOS Union Forum

Climbing is correct! Thank you!

To put it simply, this laptop of theirs is specifically designed for VISTA and no longer provides support for real-mode software.

It is possible to use XP + Acronis True Image for cloning, but it has been tried that restoration is not possible!

Additionally, you can also use PE + the corresponding SATA driver, and then use ghost32 to backup and restore cloning. However, this requires you to customize a PE yourself.

Only customizing a PE is the good method.

What I mean by not being able to find the hard drive is that after trying the XP SP3 step-by-step installation disk \ Red Leaf PE V3.0 \ Tomato Garden's GHOST 1.2VER and other boots, no disks were found, and the partition also couldn't find the hard drive. Finally, XP was installed by loading the driver through a USB floppy drive.

From HP to SONY, it seems that MS wants to completely get rid of DOS.

You can also use PE + corresponding SATA drivers. Is there a relatively simple way to load the drivers? If operating on a server, how to integrate the RAID card drivers? Can we load the drivers after entering PE??

I've always found it relatively difficult to integrate SCSI and SATA and other drivers into the Windows XP installation disc and load drivers in WinPE.
