That’s it You’ve made a bootable USB stick. Click ‘OK’ to copy the image files and make the USB stick bootable. Select ‘USB Drive’ as your target disk type and choose your USB stick drive letter in the drop down list. It takes longer for max compression, but that can save up to ~50% of the space used on my external USB drive compared to 'normal' compression. Choose the Diskimage option and enter/select the path to your image file created previously. I also set Macrium for max image compression.

And be sure to set Macrium to validate each image immediately after it's created. First, select the ‘Create Backups’ tab, then select ‘Local Disks’. Apparently the May 9th update may affect Rescue USB drives and/or bootable media. If you use a USB connected drive as a destination for the clone, to boot using the cloned drive, the drive will need to be removed from the USB caddy and connected to the system internally. Your backups are only as good as the latest images you make. 1 day ago &0183 &32 Compatibility Macrium Reflect Rescue USB Stumbled across multiple topics on this subject I had not heard about. Hang onto that Macrium USB and start imaging all your drives with Macrium on a regular basis. I'd be demanding Aomei refund all their licensing fees. I'll close this now and mark as solved.ĭon't want to say 'I told you so'.but.very glad to hear Macrium worked for you, too! Don't know what Aomei's problems are, but they're obviously not fixing them. This is pretty pathetic on Aomei's part, if the free Macrium Reflect can successfully create bootable media, it doesn't say much for Aomei's Pro software. Appears in the F12 boot menu and boots up, no problem. Macrium Reflect bootable media works fine (using the same flash drive).
