Windows 10: Question re MR7 Rescue Media and System Image

Can the windows 10 Rescue Media created by Macrium be on the same USB thumb drive as the system image. I've got them on two separate usb's. The rescue media is on a usb formatted fat32. The full system image is on a usb formatted ntfs. My question is can both items be on the same usb? If so, does it matter how the usb is formatted. I checked the system backup image and it includes the ESP partition in fat32 and the c drive partition in nfts. If you could have both on the same usb, should the rescue media partition be the 'active' partition? Any advice would be much appreciated.

System Image Restore Questions

I just restored my system with a system image. During the process It suggested I use the latest image, but the image it listed was identified with the wrong time and wrong drive letter. After puzzling on that for a while, I went ahead and selected it, and
it restored successfully. I concluded the time was PDT (while my system time is EDT), and the drive name was correct, but the drive letter was wrong.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Any thoughts why this behavior happened? My main purpose of posting is to advertise the fact that the restore process went OK in case anyone else sees the same issues and doesn't know what to do, but I am curious about
why it happened.

 

Unable to use System restore from a windows 10 image on Windows 7 with error: "windows cannot find a system image-the usb drive is not visible"

Hi Otley,

Thanks for replying to us with the status of your issue.

As you mentioned, when you connect the USB flash drive in to the system then the System image backup is not present. It might occur if the System image files is not created properly or may be it got corrupted.

As an initial steps I suggest you to check for the memory space in the USB flash driver.

If the Memory is occupied in the USB flash drive the I suggest you to try running check disk on USB flash drive and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps to perform Check Disk.

• 
  Press Windows + X on your keyboard.
  
• 
  Select Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type the below commands.
  
  Chkdsk [drive letter]: /f /r
