Macrium Image Won't Boot

Steve C said:

In that case you could boot to the Reflect repair disk and run the Fix Boot problems tool.

That sounds promising but I don't see a Fix Boot tool in Macrium Reflect 7.2.

BTW - You could register as a Trial User or email: support@macrium.com
They will respond. FWIW.

That's for the recommendations. Didn't know they offered email support to non-buyers. I'm going to try the email option first, then the trial option.

EDIT: The Fix Boot Tool is on The WinPE rescue disk version, not the Windows version. I'll add trying the boot fix next.

Macrium responded with a link for fixing boot issues. And they reminded me that they don't supply support for the free version.

Good. I know them well. Please let us know if the procedure in the KB article resolved your issue!

Compumind, the suggestion by Macrium was the same as that of Steve C, so I'd like to thank you both as well as all the others who helped me clone my 300GB HD to a 500GB HD. The "Fix Windows Boot Problems" option in the Macrium Reflect Restore menu did the trick quickly.

Is there a common reason I had to go through that procedure? Did I do something wrong? Is my Macrium Reflect archive OK?

One last by-product question (see disk mgmt screenshot):

What's the easiest way to add the 167.67GB unallocated space to the C: drive, given that they're not co-located? Thanks.

The free version of Aoemi Partition Assistant made short work of merging the unallocated space to the C: drive. It did it all in the Windows interface and no restart was needed. Thanks again to everyone.

I'm glad that everything is resolved now. I prefer Easeus Partition Master over Aoemi but this is just a personal preference.

Cheers!

MiniTool Partition Wizard (free) also works well
