    Using Macrum Reflect with UEFI


    I downloaded Macrum Reflect Free a few months ago, made a boot disk, and it booted on my old BIOS/MBR computer with no problems. The computer failed, and I purchased a new Dell i3670 with UEFI. UEFI has some downsides. I have discovered.

    The boot disk no longer works. How can I get a free (or pay) version for
    UEFI?

    Have you tried this? I think all you have to do is make a new boot media from the new installation.

    There's an option when you create the media to have it work in both UEFI and Legacy.

    Boot into Setup (Bios) go to the Security tab, if Secure Boot is Enabled, using your arrow and Enter key, Disable it. Go to the Boot tab. Here, UEFI Bios should be Enabled,. try to add Legacy Boot or CMS. Save and Exit. With the Macrium Boot disk in. Restart the computer press F12 for one time boot. The Macrium Reflect USB should now be viewable as a boot option, Choose this for a one time boot.
    If that fails, you can create a GPT UEFI Boot USB Flash drive using Rufus, available in my signature, in the Partition Scheme with the Macrium Reflect ISO image

    That's what I was thinking. And then create an image of the new pc.

    Build the recovery drive from the new installation and rebuild the drive on every major Reflect update. Thee are some advantages in using the PE recovery environment rather than the RE environment. Consider also adding a Reflect boot menu recovery option.
