Ok thanks, what will this do?

Hi,
Hopefully macrium reflex app will open in x-p like interface
You can create images/ restore images in this interface just like in win-10
I prefer it it's good to get used to using the winpe environment seeing if things go bad you'll be using it sooner or later

Guys thank so much to you all for your help but this has me beat im going around in circles. time to visit the local computer guy.

One last try:

Turn the machine OFF.

Put the USB "rescue media" stick in a port on the PC. NOT NOT NOT the USB stick with the image. The other one.

Restart while holding down the escape key.

What happens? Do you come to a menu?

That shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 minutes.

Hi,
Winpe recovery files are really small all you need is a very small flash drive 1gb is still too big

It can be a tad overwhelming at first but it gets easier after doing it a couple times.
This video helped me at first tenforums has a tutorial too

I was able to get into the bios by tapping the F10 key i will post a photo of it so you can confirm im in the right menu

You DO NOT need to go into the BIOS.

Repeat: You do not need to get into the BIOS.

What are the choices on the menu you saw?

Name them.

Did you see a choice for F9?

Ok so i got into the menu with lots of different options and yes F9 which was boot menu, i clicked on it and it give me a few different items one was the usb pen drive i clicked on it and it opened Macrium reflect. so is this ok?

Yes, yes, you did it.

That's where you would need to go to restore.

Examine your choices there.

Look for "restore" just to check the menus.

If your hard drive dies, that's where you need to go and make the right choices.

Remember how you got there. Write stuff down.

Good job sticking with it and not going to the repair shop!

Hi,
lol making a lot of fuss about going to bios aren't you
It shows all options.
