    Can't Boot to Macrium Reflect Rescue Media


    I installed Macrium Reflect so that I could create rescue media and disk images. My computer will not boot from the rescue media that I created. The creation seemed to go fine, all the appropriate files seem to be there. The rescue USB shows up in my bios boot list third after my two hard drives.

    What is weird is that when I move the USB to the top of the boot list, save and exit, the computer boots right back up to my desktop. When I then re-enter my bios the USB has been moved back to the third position. I have made other changes in my bios and it save those. I had a similar problem when I did a clean install of windows, the computer would not boot from the bootable windows install disk. To get that to work I had to go into the Windows troubleshooting and tell it to use a device to boot from. I forget the exact terminology, hopefully you know what I mean.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Blue Screen Error 'PC/device needs to be repaired file:/BCD error code:0xc000000d'

    Brittany,

    I just fixed an error like that on a Dell Inspiron yesterday. The best and easiest tool for fixing this is to use Macrium Reflect's Rescue Media. It has a "Fix Windows Boot Problems" option. This is what you have to do:

    1. Download the "free" version of Macrium Reflect from here:


    Download Macrium Reflect Free


    2. Install it on a working computer and create the Rescue Media (Create Rescue Media). Make sure you set it to use
    Windows PE version 10. If it has not picked that, click the "Change PE Version" and select PE version 10. You can create the Rescue Media on either a CD or a USB Flash drive although a USB Flash drive would be better and you
    only need a minimum of a 1GB drive.

    3. Once the Rescue Media is created, you need to start your problem laptop with the Rescue Media connected to it and change where you are booting from. As soon as you press the power button on the laptop, continually press the "F12" key.
    This will allow you to access the Boot Options screen to modify from where your laptop will boot. It should eventually give you a list of devices to boot from. Select the USB Flash drive which contains the Rescue Media. Use the keyboard arrow keys to get to
    the correct line and then {Enter} to select it. Once selected, it should then boot into Macrium Reflect running off the USB drive.

    4. Follow the instructions on this page (How to fix Windows Boot problems) to perform the repair.

    Good luck,

    JohnD

    Ricky,

    Understood.

    If Macrium Reflect requires you to make a boot disk / rescue disk / bootable-disk-with-another-name-I-can't-guess-at then you could test it by booting it from it to see if it causes the same problem symptoms.

    Best of luck,

    Denis

    Can't Boot to Macrium Reflect Rescue Media

    It appears I have solved my own problem, in case anyone is interested for future reference. Reading the help file for creating the Mecrium Rescue Media I found that it puts drivers on your USB supporting USB 2.0, it does not mention USB 3.0. When I was trying to boot it before it was plugged into a 3.0 port. As soon as I put it into a 2.0 port it booted fine.

    Still not sure why that would cause my boot order to change in the bios. But hey it works!

    What version of Macrium do you have.
    The latest is 6.1.1366 and my rescue disk boots from USB 3.

    Hi there

    I have a physical RAID driver that needs to be loaded at boot -- I believe Macrium Free (I have a Pro version) on media creation (The stand alone boot version) allows you to add drivers when the media is created.

    Works fine -- on booting I usually see a quick message "Driver xxx Loaded" and then I get the Macrium GUI and the HDD's are recognized.

    Not sure why it would change your boot order though -- are you sure you didn't do it by accident and save after entering BIOS.

    Cheers

    I downloaded directly from their site. It is version 6.1.1366.

    I did see the option to add additional drivers to the rescue disk. That might solve the issue. Just not sure how to find the particular driver I need. As far as the boot order, after "Save & Exit" didn't work I tried just "Save Changes" went back and checked to see it was the way I wanted it, then "Saved & Exited" again. Really not sure what is going on their.

    Thanks for you responses.

    Can't Boot to Macrium Reflect Rescue Media

    During the making of your Rescue USB there is a window that shows what devices have drivers built into Macrium. Did it show anything about USB 3? I used the W10 PE choice. The W8 and W10 PE has support for USB3. To add a driver I believe you have to add the .inf file for the device. (This is from my old memory and may be incorrect.)

    The USB xHCI is USB 3
