Hey You don"t need all this prompt commands, just go to disk manager and delete volume of USB drive, it will be unallocated space, now USB in MBR format, then create Macrium.
Thanks a lot!!!👍👏 I was finally able to create a working USB rescue stick with your instructions. Before that I kept getting error messages and I was pretty desperate. Thanks again!
Three items: 1) For a full backup, will the software do a proper job if run via Windows (meaning, while Windows is running)? Or is it better to boot from the rescue media, and launch the full backup from that state? 2) For a full backup, can you exclude a directory (and that directory's sub-directories)? I have directories that have loads of saved data, and I make copies of those files manually, and to not want to waste space by having this backup tool copy those files, again. 3) Once a backup is created, does the software provide the means to peruse the backed up data? For example, will it mount the backup as a virtual drive, and allow you to copy files from it to elsewhere? This would be handy when you need to restore one file, rather than restoring the whole backup. Thank you.
Great video. I hate dealing with DISKPART, but it is worth it to get a reliable rescue disk. An easy way to find out which disk number is the USB one is open Disk Manger in Windows. That will tell you the number for our USB drive. Mine happened to be Disk #6, I have a lot of HDDs /SSDs in my system. You can also do a list disk then pull out the USB and do another list disk and see which one disappeared.
Another way: Create the rescue media and then select the iso file. Create the ISO file. Write the file you created to the flash disk with Rufus. Add the Macrium Image file you previously created to the flash disk.
I've been a very happy Macrium Reflect user for years but recently had a the following issue : RESTORING FROM THE BOOT USB RESCUE DISK COULD NOT DETECT THE PRIMARY C: DRIVE MAKING IT USELESS. I turned my laptop upside down trying to resolve this (deleting/recreating partition; reinstall of Windows 11; nothing worked ! The problem was not with Macrium, but with Acer/Intel. There is a driver provided on the Intel site called "RST Raid driver". Issue solved !
kardesim burda kimse cevap yazmiyor, bende yeni laptop aldim fakat internete baglanmak zorunda kaldim bir hafta boyunca, cok gec degil dimi hala bu islemi yapmak icin? Ben yapmaya calistim fakat 8gb'lik usb flash taktim yetmiyor galiba, benim laptop 1TB, acaba ne kadarlik usb lazim klonlayip usb'ye atmak icin, yardimci olabilirsen cok sevinirim. tesekkurler
Thanks so much for this detailed instructions. very helpful indeed. I have a 64GB USB. I formatted it to exFAT before I start the clone, but when I click BUILD, it prompted me to reformat, so Macrium did reformat to FAT32. After the clone, my USB shows (via properties) only 0.99GB total capacity? but I have 64GB USB. Could you help me to understand why?
I used Macrium Free Edition to back up my Windows Vista laptop before I installed Windows 10 on it. I burned the rescue disc to a CD, and placed my Macrium backup files on a 2 TB external drive. The install worked, and am currently using that upgraded laptop. My problem is the external hard drive that contains my backup files. I could only format it in Fat32 originally to place the backup files on it...Now I cant use it for anything else. I plug it in; the backup files appear on the screen, but I can't add anymore files to the drive. All files added are either corrupted on adding, or are not there when I plug in the drive again. Does Macrium have the drive blocked from adding anymore files to it? I can't seem to change anything security wise on the drive because it is not NTFS format.
hey I am getting error while creating the bootable disk failed to generate winpe wim the win could not be mounted can you please help me with this it would be much appreciated
Wait, we don't have to go into CMD and diskpart if we're using Macrium right? Macrium does everything for us no? Seems you just like to get it ready beforehand yourself huh?

This video is a little lacking, because you are not explaining why you are using an unformatted USB (with no filesystem). Windows kind of choked on this hiccup, while Macrium was trying to copy files and create the rescue media. File explorer prompted me to Format the drive, but I selected Cancel, because the Macrium operation was ongoing. Macrium is supposed to create a partition with the appropriate filesystem if it doesn't exist.

a sensible intelligent instruction set to creat a boot usb, highly recommended.
this one will not work for me, any other method?
Thank you very much. Your video saved us almost 2 years worth of machine recipes. Really appreciate this help !
Hi where is the. Next video appreciate the video need to see how it works in action
Mine it's stuck for more than 4 hours in "Creating WIM" "Extracting archives/files".
Any tips?
Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the helping to get my brain working again.
Thank you for the brief and accurate explanation of exactly what I was looking for.
This was just what I was looking for. Very helpful. I will now check out your next video on the topic. Thank you!
Great!

My WinRE is missing have no clue to repair my computer, have nor recovery disk either, what to do?
Another way: Create the rescue media and then select the iso file. Create the ISO file. Write the file you created to the flash disk with Rufus.
Add the Macrium Image file you previously created to the flash disk.
I achieved with Aomei backupper here, this one is nice as well.
@Home Tech Adventure what if you have an UFEI Hard Drive?

What is the content of the USB stick rescue? Only OS or a complete one as we clone HDD?
Awesome clear tutorial, solved my upgrade problem on HP Omen Desktop . Thank you :)
Great to hear!

I just need it to create/clone/restore images and its works fine for me.
I'm glad it worked well for you.
Why convert it?
Does it matter?🤔
I tried to boot with it and it doesn't work, it gives this blue screen that prompt to try again, uefi firmware using the function keys
Lifesaver video. Will a single rescue usb work for multiple harddrives or do I need to make a new one for each ssd being backed up?
You can use this USB for multiple drives and multiple computers.
What a great save thank you boss 👏🔥🙏
Very helpful. Thank you.
amazing! ty for your video. did you stopped make those? i hope you're ok. best regards

I built it without converting it to MBR but it seems to work? idk

Steps to convert to MBR above in another comment. I think something was lost in the replies, as there are two dots in a row.
@@hometechadventure4462 my problem is solved thanks for the video nice work
thank you but this did not work for me, have to recover disk with Aomei tools then.
Thank you this helped a lot!
You're welcome!
Using prompt CMD I have loss my 2 USB Drives??
try to format it if it doen't work try to format it using your phone
Thank you so much! This tutorial is realy very good!
in first time Im going to fail cuz it always said cannot build coz WIM But thank to this video My last hope is HERE!
You're amazing. Thanks you so much for the greats video tutorial :)
now how to remove this rescue disk and get back my usb drive?
