Is it bootable now? I believe I just chose the USB drive option when I created that one, and can it be restored if I put the rescue media on a smaller drive? I am especially interested in being able to do that, since after I ran into these issues, I grabbed a new thumb drive and tried the Rescue USB again, only to realize that I had mistakenly used a 64 gb thumb drive – so if there isn’t a way to restore that, is it then a useless drive?

So – once I know which option to choose, can I reuse that same thumb drive – will it overwrite and “correct” my error so that I can then use that thumb drive? Or should I start with a new one?Īnd if it can’t just be overwritten, is there a way to restore it to full capacity so that it is usable?

Yet – in the Macrium interface, it is listing the thumb drive as 14.59 GB – which would be correct. So – at that point I tried to erase the thumb drive to start over, and ended up with a large hidden partition, and only about 1 gb usable space. I was confused about it since after I chose the first option, I tried to also choose the USB option and it said that “another programs” was using the thumb drive, so I wasn’t confident that it worked. My reason for confusion, is that I initially tried doing this with a 16 gb USB drive and somehow ended up with two “drives” created on that thumb drive – called D and E. Should I choose the first – Windows Boot Menu – if I want to create a bootable USB rescue stick? Or should I just choose the USB option with add boot menu selected? I am not sure which of the creation options I should choose.

Whelp, finally get to build my Data partition.I am preparing to create a new Macrium Reflect Free rescue media USB for my new laptop, and had a few questions that I hope someone can answer.įirst – do I need to create a separate rescue USB for each computer on that computer, or can I use the same on on two different computers if both are running Win 10 1909? Unless Windows' Shadow copy or whatever, OR a Restore Point can save me. If any downloads are screwy I'll only be able to "go back" to my most recent differential. The main thing I'm worried about, besides those, are how I'll be using my main OS and HDD, W10, for gaming as well. However, these W10 updates definitely are a turn off. What I'd really like to utilize is Rollback Rx home but it seems to have 'issues' and I don't want to complicate my system.

Not to rain on anyone's parade but I've done exhaustive research on BU software (previously) and think I'll stick w/MR for full and differential.Īfter reading on tenforums however I'm leaning towards directly copying my Data partition(s) as a BU. Lots of nuggets from that forum re: MR but I needed a video to show me what I missed. Finally restored to the HDD I wanted to.ģ.

Even after backing out for a 2nd go I missed it. My main problem was, after you choose an image, once you click some options the light blue band on image listing disappears (98%) but then Restore "icon" is also missing. talks about it, but I can't imagine that flashdrive being formatted to Fat32. the no boot from usb might have been due to formatting, this link What could be going wrong? System (older phenom, 4GB of DDR3 on a GA-MA790XT-UD4P) boots to other thumbdrives so something hasn't installed correctly AFAICT.ġ. Creating rescue media is only a couple of buttons.

Macrium site says that rescue media install a fully working MR application. I admit I don't fully understand the diff's between the various WIM environments but I would think more than one would boot a system that has no OS to rescue. But no, any of the options I've used from Other Tasks>'create rescue media' in the & free version does not boot when usb is the 1st Bios option. I would think this is similar enough to a system with a fresh HDD that has no OS (like when the old one died). Trying to "reimag"e on one HDD from another HDD w/has the image. Isn't that what the PE part of the install on your usb is for?

So I've created a usb twice now using the 7 free download and can't for the life of me understand why you would want something that cannot boot a system w/o an OS.
