New Macrium Reflect Updates [2]

I know, I just don't have rescue disk (yet). So, basically, it will work and disk backups aren't bonded only for the disks they were created from, as I understand. Okay, good to know.

Just need a cheap (inexpensive) thumb drive. 8GB is more than adequate. You can use a DVD if you wish, but the thumb is so much quicker, and re-usable.

Mine is on a 4GB thumb. Uses less than 1GB.

I said 8GB cause the 4GB are really hard to find (here) and 8GB are more common. But you are correct, it takes very little, less than 1GB and a 4GB works fine.

Just one I've had for years. I alternate it with another newer 8GB one, but that always seems a waste of good bytes.

I found some 32 GB flash/thumb/jump drives at Wally World for $4.88 the other day, TC. I'd have bought a few if I didn't already have half a gazillion of 'em.

There's "medicine" for that too. I have an USB to SD card (all sizes) adapter and quite a few SD cards of all sizes and capacity and using micro sized ones you can put many, many in match box. SD cards of small capacity and super cheap are still sold.

Darn - where did I leave that matchbox.....

I prefer a memory card/sd card holder for mine. Amazon has them in sizes from very reasonable to "who needs storage for that many cards!" Prices are all over the map too, so anyone should be able to afford 'em. Mine is a zippered soft case that only holds about six cards and was minimally priced. Don't remember how much I paid.

By the same token, I use a zippered soft case for my USB sticks, which is minimally priced as well. Mine holds 8 sticks and I'm up to 3 of 'em. Ya might say I'm a USB stick hoarder . . .

There are even combination cases for almost all your portable devices.

Edit: Although you see Robot Check, I checked the link and it takes me to the correct Amazon page.

I'm mostly home bound now and don't have to carry that stuff any more, I have only couple of servicing tools and converted an SSD of 128GB to USB with most other stuff on it. Feeling a bit lazy now but I'm working on making it multiboot so at end I will have only one disk for them all.

Well after all of this time, I finally got Macrium Reflect to work properly. The Problem was in my BIOS I guess it was not fully UEFI so I changed it to UEFI Boot and I had to also Change The CFM to Windows 10. Once I did this my boot menu changed somewhat. But now I can see and restore an MR image and no more black screens. This also helped with all the rest of the problems I was having. Thanks to everyone here that tried to help me. I am very new to UEFI and yesterday I got a PDF from MSI and read it at great length.
