    I have a Recovery stick with nothing but the Macrium Recovery and Windows PT on it, which is fine. Would it make sense to make a secondary Recovery USB but also with my entire system files on it?
    If I did I'd assume I'd use a 128G stick to hold the Recovery as well as an image of my entire GPT Disc 2.....or of each partition individually? Not sure how that works being there's Unformatted and FAT32 mixed in there. Hmm...oh wait. The Recovery itself is formatted in FAT32.
    My C: and other partitions are NTFS.

    Yikes. See how I spin myself in circles?

    ------

    Guess I'll just make a secondary sticks with Images of my NTFS and FAT32 partitions on them.

    Macrium Reflect images can be written to a fat32 drive. The image is just automatically broken down into multiple linked files that have a maximum size of 4GB.

    Anyway, you can now access multiple partitions on a standard usb flash drive. So you can out MR recovery on a small fat32 partition and images in an ntfs partition if you prefer.
