So if I choose either and then "Build" it starts building a "WIM." What's a WIM? Where is it being downloaded? Onto a USB stick? Somewhere else? If I choose Windows Boot Menu, should I choose Add Boot Menu or not? If I choose ISO File, should I choose "Check for devices drivers on boot"? Should I check "Prompt for key press to continue boot sequence"? It says it's storing it in C:\MacriumRescue.iso, so does that file stay on the computer during the clone? What's the difference between using the Windows Boot Menu or the ISO? And I can get a Windows 10 ISO straight from Microsoft, so why should I make it here? But I have another cloning to do and I'd like to make the Rescue Media this time. All the Macrium online advice (AFAIK) did not adequately explain how to set it up, so in frustration I went ahead with the clone anyway. Start Reflect, take the ‘Other Tasks’ menu option and select ‘Create a bootable Rescue CD’ The wizard opens and In the wizard window, select ‘ Windows PE 2.0' and click ‘Next’.I just cloned an SSD with Macrium Reflect Free without making a Rescue media because I couldn't figure out how to.We need to create an image of the bootable CD so we can transfer the contents to the USB stick. Use DiskPart to set the partition on the USB drive 'Active'.Note: If you receive a message saying ‘Windows was unable to complete the format’ then in some cases the format has actually finished and this message can safely be ignored.
It’s best to leave the ‘Quick Format’ option un-checked. Make sure that FAT32 or NTFS is selected as the file system.Open ‘My Computer’, right click on your USB drive and select properties.Make sure your USB stick is formatted as FAT32 or NTFS. In this tutorial I'll show you the simple steps required to create a USB stick that boots into the Macrium Reflect Windows PE Rescue Environment. The partition boot sector is created when the file system is formatted. The BCD is used to boot Windows PE and all flavours of Windows with the Vista kernel and later. Windows Vista/7 creates different partition boot sector code that's compatible with the Boot Configuration Data ( BCD).
The partition must be formatted using Windows Vista/7.
