Problems creating a rescue media for Macrium Reflect

Take note of the disk # for the lexar from disk management. Open Admin command prompt and type:
diskpart
select disk # where disk # shown from disk management
clean
exit

Try again. Make sure you have no other USB device connected.

Hello again,

On creating a USB rescue media the following error message popped up:
The USB disk contains the maximum number of partitions allowed. Please try a different USB disk or remove partitions.

The USB stick I wanted for the rescue media is a 16 GB Lexar and according to Disk Manager it is OK (Active, Primary partition) That is only one partition as far as I understand. How is that too many?

Please, any ideas what could be wrong here?

There are way better tools like GParted (active there = bootable) to check that stuff.. there may be hidden partitions from Disk Manager - if it's been formatted prior then obviously there is another issue

When you create the Rescue disk. From this screen below, did you uncheck the option hilited ? if not then at boot, you must tap a key (any key) when prompted otherwise, it will bypass and continue booting Windows.
