I've always used an external HDD for my system images so I'm not sure how you would recover the image from an internal separate HDD.
I don't know what those other drives are but go into Disk Management to see if that reserved partition is listed.
In Win 7 that would normally be 400MB and gives you access to the advanced boot options - are you able to get to those when you tap F8 (usually) as you switch on ?
Go into Event Viewer and when it has read the data, click on Error then on View All Instances of This Event in the lower right pane where you should see the immediate errors.
Clicking on any will give more info the pane below.

OK, my plan is to just have the system image for now. I understand that on a drive C crash ---- after replacing drive C ---- I could use the stand alone boot MS mentions to recover the systen,
Yes, there is a system reserved area on that D drive so prolly best to wipe the whole drive and start again. AOMEI or MS or someone could not do the backup but they were able to put the systems reserved area on the drive.
BUT, I got hung up twice where nothing would work --- not even going to task manager. So, I went to Safe mode --- BTW weird as it is using the high res graphics card which I never saw used by Safe Mode previously --- and am doing a common repair. Based on what you said, I only did the Registry backup and then began the common repair list.
So, far going slow but plunking along. 2 hours. I took a picture, attached.

Windows would normally put that reserved partition in during a clean install.
It's certainly taking its time compared to what it takes on mine, but as long as it's working, then you just have to patient.
I've never known safe mode to use the GPU either - perhaps a wipe and clean install may be better.

OK, Boggin, I will exercise patience. But, what is a wipe and clean install? Of what?
