    Does Macrium Reflect needs the system reserved + recovery partitions?


    My C drive doesn't have the usual Win 10 System reserved partition or the Recovery partition. Does Macrium Reflect need these to create an image? I tried this in Win 10 Macrium and it crashed the computer and then I tried it using my Macrium Recovery CD and that got an "unknown error". If it needs those partitions, I can fix this.

    Please post images or share links of disk management:
    (by default rows and columns are compressed and characters are cutoff)

    a) widen these rows: disk 0, disk 1, disk 2, etc > make sure that no characters are cutoff

    b) widen each of these columns: Volume and Status > make sure that no characters are cutoff

    The link had the scripts instead of the results.

    Please post share links for the text report results.

    And post an image of disk management directly into this thread.
    (please widen disk 0 nad disk 1 so that Sources is in full view)

    I don't have a System reserved or a Recovery partition. My discs are GPT.
    I chose the WinPE option when I made the Macrium bootable rescue Media.

    This is my setup...

    But there are many different ways to accomplish things. So a screen shot is very helpful...



    Quickie screenshot directions.

    1. Use the PrtSc key to take a screenshot.
    2. Open an image editor like "Paint", and click Paste > Paste.
    3. Click on Select > Rectangular Select and drag a box around what you want to show.
    4. Click on Crop.
    5. Click on File > Save as > PNG picture and save it to somewhere like your desktop.
    6. Now, in your Ten Forums post, click on the Insert Image icon.



    7. Then click on.. From Computer > Browse (to where you saved the screenshot) > Upload File(s).



    8. You will then see something like this. That's your "posted" image.

    Well...

    The System Reserved Partition holds the Boot Configuration Database, Boot Manager Code, Windows Recovery Environment.
    It also reserves space for the startup files which may be required by BitLocker, in case you use the BitLocker Drive Encryption feature.

    Are you using BitLocker?

    It looks like you have an MBR disk. That's what mine looked like before I converted to GPT...
    Like this...

    It looks like everything you need to boot Windows is ON the C: partition.
    Namely... System, and Boot.





    On a GPT disk, Boot and System are on different partitions, so you'd need both to boot Windows...

    When you convert from MBR to GPT it moves "System" from the Windows partition, to an EFI partition that the conversion, creates.

    Not using BitLocker. So Macrium doesn't need those partitions?
