Thank you for the Tutorial, installing today.
Excellent guide, thanks.....trying to restore from an image, but it refuses, will accept an older image though.....
downloaded MR7 on my laptop ( pc won’t boot ) and created a recovery pen.....the image still refuses to load, I assume MR7 will accept images from previous versions.....is there any way of repairing the image that won’t load......
thanks
Hi
I'm trying to verify my rescue media.
When I boot into my rescue USB (using Windows>Advanced settings>Restart>Use a Device>UEFI:Removable Device>Restart>Choose Operating System>Restart) I'm sorta expecting it to go straight to the "Macrium's WinPE environment looks slightly different than when Reflect is run from Windows desktop" version:

.
but it doesn't - it goes to my standard boot menu:

So, when I click on the "Choose an Operating System>Macrium Reflect System Recovery" how do I know whether it is running the version on the usb stick or the standard one on my C: drive (which might be fried in a real-world emergency)?
thanks
Macrium Ver 7.2.3954
Win10 Home 1809 17763.194 32 bit "32bit OS, x64 based processor" tablet computer
Sounds like it's not booting from USB at all. Try changing in BIOS to USB and boot from it.
Thanks. Actually, I wrote that a bit wrong.
If I use Windows>Advanced settings>Restart>Use a Device>UEFI:Removable Device>Restart>
then it goes to the 'boot menu/choose operating system' blue screen
If I subsequently Choose Operating system > Macrium Reflect System Recovery"
then it does go to the macrium "desktop UI" view, but I don't know where (what disk) it is running from. The 'Load an Image' dialog in macrium can see a (usb) drive called "Boot X:", if that makes a difference
.
I'm not sure how to boot to USB from Bios. The Bios settings under Boot are
Boot option Priorities:
Boot option#1: Windows Boot Manager
Boot option#2: UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell
..and the only available settings under each one are (1) Windows Boot Manager; (2) Built-in EFI Shell; or (3) disable
.
To confuse things, The computer is a tablet with only one usb port, so I have to use a usb hub to connect (1) a USB keyboard (to get to bios), (2) a USB mouse (to move around in macrium - the touchsceen is disabled in bios/macrium); (3) the usb recovery drive and (4) the usb disc with my images on. The keyboard works fine in bios, so I guess the computer is seeing the hub OK.
There's usually an F function key destined to give you a menu in BIOS from which to choose a disk (internal or external) to BOOT from just that one time.
This indicates it is booted from the stick, and/or Menu Option for Macrium. Arrow points to the "Console" options for a booted Rescue Environment. Note the OP is on rev 6.2, not the latest 7.2. Should make no difference, just pointing that out.
