    I cannot boot from my Macrium Reflect Rescue Disk I made


    I downloaded the free version of Macrium Reflect. I used to use this backup program many years ago with good, solid results. But the past two times I've tried it I can't boot from the boot disk that I made.

    All I see on the screen is black with maybe a blinking cursor.

    During the setup of the boot disk I went into Advanced and saw there are several options you can choose from as far as recovery environment. I believe I chose the correct one.

    But when I try to boot from the rescue disk all I end up staring at is a black screen.

    I'm using Windows 8.1. Any tips?

    :)

    Macrium Boot Question

    Macrium Boot Question

    I use Windows 10 and a Macrium recovery program. My BIOS is set where the optical disk for CDs and DVDs are not set to recognize a CD/DVD disc as the first priority to boot from.

    What are the steps I should take to make my Macrium Rescue Disk as being first to boot from?

    Thanks,

    Jerry

  3. Cloned WIN10/64 Boot drive will not Boot! Boot volume stays OFFLINE

    Rather than using the Macrium Reflect cloning process, I have had better success with this method:

    1. Create an image of the old disk. Park it on an external disk.
    2. Create a Macrium Reflect USB rescue disk.
    3. Disconnect the old disk, connect the new disk.
    4. Boot the machine with the USB rescue disk.
    5. Restore the image onto the new disk.
    6. Boot the machine with only the new disk connected.

    I cannot boot from my Macrium Reflect Rescue Disk I made

    Booting/Fixing Windows 10 Disk.

    The easiest/most reliable way to fix Windows boot problems has historically been Macrium Reflect's Fix Windows start problems utility. Probably the easiest way to make it is to make a bootable USB flash drive or DVD of Kyhi's recovery tools:
    Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

    Boot into his recovery tools, run Macrium Reflect, under the restore menu will be the utility to fix Windows start problems. You will get a list of Windows installations that it finds then in the next step you will get a list of bootable partitions available for Macrium Reflect to fix.

    You can also install Macrium Reflect free - but the fix Windows start utility is only available when you actually boot the computer from a Macrium Reflect rescue drive with Windows PE:
