Hi guys

Some questions please, i have recently installed Linux Mint 18.2 on my Windows 10 PC.
Windows 10 is installed on my 500GB SSD.
Linux Mint has been installed on a separate 120GB SSD,...

Thank you
Yes, i also use partition minitool, i find it very good, i do see the 16mb hidden partition on there.
OK so i guess i don-t have to worry about anything

Cheers

Thank you very much.
This is what it looks like ( photos attached ).
It was a fresh install long time ago, since then it was updated, it's now on version 1703

Hi
Sorry to hijack this thread, I have W10 installed on a SSD.
Looking at disk management, I do not have the second 450mb recovery partition after the C drive, I only have one 450mb partition...

Hi
Have you tried and it didn't work for you?
Whats the problem that you are having?

Hi

I have Linux Mint and Windows 10 (UEFI), but each one installed on a separate drive, and i dual boot fine between the two.

Thank you for helping me with this

All the best

Sorry here is a pic of the XML files.
Yes i did one when i first installed W10, then i did another one when i installed updates and programs.
You say pick a def, but which one ? should i pick the...

Here is a pic for you to see, i have so far 2 XML files, one for each image that i did.
Which one do i select, or how do i schedule the back ups?

Thanks again

One more question, to schedule back ups, which XML file do i use? i have three
And do i select back up definition files in "disk image" ?

Thank you

I did verify both images, and they both say "image verified OK" or "successfully verified" ( can't remember the exact words ).
And on the restore tab, both images show all 4 partitions.
So i think...

Hi Kbird

Yes you are right, compression is set to Medium ( recommended ), should i set it to None?
What about the second option? should i leave it as it is or set it to exact same partitions¿...

I did not change the default compression in MR, i did not modify anything.
Where do i check the compression in MR ?
How do i verify the image? boot off MR and recover from the image ? this means...

My used space on the C drive with fresh install of W10 is 23GB, so the size of image ( 10gb) looks about right, I think...

For XML files, I copied them from my documents to external, if the...

So far, in Macrium Reflect, did "image this disk" and saved the image to my external drive, I'll also copy it later to my NAS.
The size of the image is 10GB.
I also created a system restore point...

It shows version 1607 ( OS build 14393.0 )

I understand, I will do that.
out of curiosity, what is the difference between installing W10 again as I did today from the MCT tool USB, and recovering with MR from a back up image of how W10 is...

Yes I am very happy it's sorted, and I really appreciate your support, thanks to you I have a clean version of W10.
so now the plan is to install Macrium Reflect and back up W10, I'll check it out...

Sorry I didn-t mention it was unallocated.
W10 has now been installed, I think it is a clean install.
See a photo of my partitions.
Is this good ?

Thanks

Yes that's correct

Where it says where do you want to install Windows, it only shows my SSD, no other drives.

And no 5 partitions, just one hole partition which can't be deleted nor formatted.

I did do Top...

Yes like this but no partitions, just one disk.
