My Fix For Macrium Reflect Free 7 Rescue Stick Not Booting
Although my experience is with the titled product (and with Win XP and Win 7), I suspect, from reading all kinds of stuff about this subject, this would apply to any Macrium Rescue stick with this problem. There are several "solutions" out there, but mine is rather simple (and is the result of someone else's post somewhere): use DISKPART to make the Rescue Stick partition "ACTIVE". I had to do this even though Disk Management said it was already "active" before I performed the DISKPART!
This tells me that Macrium did what it thought was correct in marking it as "active", but it really isn't from a boot program's perspective. Why Macrium cannot compare their partition after creating the rescue stick to the partition after performing DISKPART, in order to fix the problem on their end, is beyond me. I spent a whole lot of time on this, so I hope this helps many others.
