    "I know that Macrium Reflect does not work on this particular PC." Please tell me more, how did MR fail on your computer? I am wondering if what happened to me long ago happened to you recently.

    That piqued my curiosity, Huffman. I have never heard of Macrium Reflect not working on a Windows computer.

    Could you tell us what you mean when you say that it "does not work on this particular PC"?

    If it just means that you haven't fully figured out how to make it work for you on this particular machine, there is an almost limitless amount of help available to you on this forum. All you have to do is ask.

    [And when you need help on anything, the best way to get it is to ask fairly precise questions. General questions (e.g., how do I use such-and-such a program?) produce much less useful responses than precise ones (e.g., I've done this, this, and this, and I am stuck. What is the next step?)]

    Wisewiz when I use Macrium Reflect on this PC (Windows 10) to make a C-drive backup, it WILL NOT Verify. According to everything I could find, that is caused by bad Memory. When I check the memory it checks good, Without a Verification, I don't trust Macrium Reflect to do what I want.

    Paul Black since you said you prefer AOMEI as a backup software, I have a question. If I can NOT boot Windows 10, how would I be able to get AOMEI to restore my C-drive? It seems to me that for it to work, you have to be able to boot into Windows 10.

    Is this true or NOT. Thanks

    @huffman

    Open the Macrium Reflect program. In the left panel, click on Image selected disks on this computer. In the right panel, click Image this disk (after you check the partitions you want backed up -- usually ALL the partitions shown on your main disk. In the new screen that opens, look down at the look down at the bottom left to see Advanced Options (with a wrench icon). Click that. In the panel that appears, in the left column, click the words Auto Verify Image, and in the right panel click to put a check mark in the option "Verify Image ... directly after creation." Now click OK at the bottom of that panel, then click Finish at the bottom of the next panel that appears. Now when you see the final panel, which asks What do you want to do now? Leave the check marks, but type a folder location into the blank where it says My Backup. Change that to where you'd like to put the settings file it's about to save, and give that file a name: I use "Disk 0 Image" for the name, and I put it in D:\Backups\ where I keep all of my Macrium Reflect files. Now click OK at the bottom, and the let the backup run and save the image. Don't do anything else until you see the words (Image and Verification completed in <a time will be given here, like 00:05:32, which means what you think it means>. Now close the program.

    If you need suggestions for further steps, just ask.

    Wisewiz, That is what I told you. I know how to do the Verification with Macrium Reflect, but because (at least I think) it sees my memory as bad, it does NOT do a good Verification.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Paul Black I think I found how to make the"Bootable Media", but feel free to comment. Opps maybe I did NOT find what I wanted. Everything says to make a bootable media on thumb drive. That is NOT what I want. I want to make a bootable media on a CD/DVD.

    Can that be done?

    I'm not sure what that means. You said in #16 above that "it WILL NOT verify." Now you seem to be saying that it does the verification, but that verification has a bad result of some sort. According to Macrium's forum, that's about as rare as hen's teeth, so I'm not sure I understand you correctly.

    What would help enormously would be for you to post a screenshot of whatever it is that you see when either (1) MR refuses to verify, or (2) MR attempts to verify, but reports that the image it made is not accurate, or (3) MR reports that it is unable to complete the execution of the verification process.

    While you're at it, you might report on what, exactly, the target device is for your MR image: are you imaging to an internal second disk, to an external disk (and if it's that, then how is it connected to your PC?), to a USB drive, or to something I haven't thought of?

    There is no rush. I'm a patient man.

    MR "...does NOT do a good Verification" -- how did MR do a bad verification? I want to learn more about this.
