    Problem creating a Macrium Reflect Windows PE rescue USB


    I have a Problem creating a Macrium Reflect Windows PE rescue USB, From MR website all versions allow this except for the free version, so I should be able to do this. But cant see an option to include Redeploy. WHen I boot up with the USB and select redeploy it says I should chose \ select Redeploy during the rescue disk creation....I have been creating an ISO file then using Rufus to burn to a USB...

    Thanks

    The only requirement with regard to the USB creation for using Redeploy seems to be that when creating the USB, the PC with the Macrium Reflect installtion needs to have the Macrium Licenced/Activated.

    (some info regarding the activation requirement here: Cannot boot from rescue disk -- trying to do a Redeploy )

    Besides that there doesn't even seem to be any other option to include/exclude ReDeploy during the USB creation( besides the normal need to have your new drivers ready when you come to do the ReDeploy itself which shouldn't matter at the USB creation phase ).

    If you are already doing it from an Activated Macrium, then I am sorry I don't know why it would be refusing to do a ReDeploy ( I have never done a ReDeploy although I was prepared for it when replacing the motherboard on my PC - I simply booted up with all other existing components in place and Windows took care of all the drivers and did not need t ReDeploy).

    Good luck.

    As you (presumably) have a licensed copy, you should be entitled to ask a question on their forum..

    To clarify, you have a paid version?

    Anyway, I know little of Macrium since I don't use it, but I see you mention Rufus and wonder if you're following Macruim's stated procedures, and not introducing a step not intended for creating the USB media? Perhaps follow the stated procedures and go from there.

    Apologies if I've misunderstood

    Start Macrium, click on Other tasks, Create Rescue Media. It's that simple.
