Macrium Reflect question
Posted: March 8th, 2019, 11:34 am
I have been asking myself how I would recover my Windows 10 computer if the disk became unusable. I am supposing I have a recent Macrium Reflect backup. Within Macrium Reflect it is possible to create a recovery USB stick and you can boot from this. It is also possible to save an ISO file. But my attempts to create a usable USB stick from this ISO file outside Macrium Reflect have all failed. Running in linux Mint, the USB creation program Etcher gives the error “It looks like this is not a bootable image” and although it goes ahead and writes stuff to the stick, it doesn’t work at boot time. Similar attempts via Mintstick and the linux command dd have failed too.
So it seems to me that you can create a recovery USB stick (or CD) only if you have a working Windows system. Can anyone suggest a way of creating a recovery device from the ISO which doesn’t depend on Macrium Reflect working? Or have I have misunderstood the situation? Thanks.
