Macrium Reflect boot menu option

Cliff S · 18 Sep 2016

I had to use it today because a Repair install went full south, and I needed to reimage to yesterday(read about it here: Cumulative Update KB3189866 Windows 10 build 14393.187 - Page 27 - Windows 10 Forums )

Any how for the others that create their own partition, can you start the restore process inside of Windows using MR, which will then ask you if you want to restart and automatically boot into the RE?

The only difference I would think is, you are not bothered with it in File Explorer with out the drive letter, but it will still show the partition in Disk Management. Maybe with it showing up in File Explorer it's easier to update it, as you'll be able to access it online.

Cliff, You are correct. With drive letter assigned, it's easier to update, just copy/extract boot.wim to it but shows up in File Explorer.
Mike, It does not matter how you created the partition. The instruction is for general users that don't have Partition Manager installed.

Hi, recently started using Reflect, moving away from TrueImage. I'm pretty happy with it so far, except for the outlandish price (yea, I know, free version fine for most but I like to password protect my images).

I notice there's an option to put the recovery on the boot menu, reminiscent of Norton Ghost. Anyone using this option who can speak for its stability in Windows 10?

Thanks!

I too was long time acronis user and recently made the switch hands down there's no comparison Macrium is so much more reliable dependable user-friendly faster and creates the ultimate Windows PE free Acronis you have to pay to create bootable Windows PE so to the guy complaining about macrium being too expensive makes no sense. Wish I knew about this a long time ago

You DID have to pay to get the WinPE option with the older (i.e.5.x) version of MR. They only made it free with the current version. So the other person is remembering the older versions.
