    Macrium V6 Rescue Disk Will Not Boot in W10


    I'm not familiar with the UEFI boot system in W10. Any pointers? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forums, as soon as you switch on the laptop, press F2 button repeatedly, go to Boot tab in BIOS and select CD/DVD, press F6 to move up to the 1st position. press F10 to save the settings and exit. If you have access to another PC, create another Macrium recovery CD.

    Thanks brummyfan. Everything you posted worked up to the cd not running... it just hung... could be a dodgy disk. I went back to the Other Tasks menu in Macrium to make another and saw an option to add Macrium boot to the boot menu in the list, which I did, and this comes up now booting up... Windows will boot automatically after 10 seconds without user input:

    I haven't done a restore yet but it all looks normal when it's running. I think I will like this because I don't have to hunt for a disk when it all goes awry. :)

    Cheers

    You still need a boot disk or usb stick in case your hdd fails, or c drive gets badly corrupted.

    You can also reduce the count time to as low as one second (0 hides it altogether) in control panel, system, advanced system settings, startup and recovery (click settings button). I find 2 seconds is a comfortable setting i.e. long enough to react, but short enough not to be a pain.

    If you ever need to rebuild your boot sectors, you usually have to reinstate the boot menu option as well.

    Thanks for that. Have reduced the time and will try and make a disk later.

    When Macrium Reflect v6 first came out, the boot disk was not compatible with some versions of Win10 -- I know because I tried to do a recovery using MR and ended up contacting their support department.

    Supposedly, with the upgrade to 6.1.1000, that has all been fixed -- and when I have booted from the USB I made of recent versions, it works fine in Win10.

    So, you should make bootable media of the current release (6.1.1023) and see if that works. It should.
