    Macrium users - Hirens boot CD


    Macrium users may want to try Hirens boot CD 12.0. It has a Macrium Pe capability now.

    Apart from all the utilities on the Hirens disk which keep growing I thought the mention of the Macrium Pe capability was worth a mention.
    Macrium users will know that normally you have to use the linux boot disk unless you make your own customised pe disk. It's not a standard option with the free version.

    Isn't the 'Macrium PE' just the 148 MB Windows PE download?

    What download are you referring to?
    I should have stated "Macrium Reflect free" users.
    The one on the Hirens disk is Macrium software that does image and recovery on the bootable cd.

    Edit: I'm not saying there isn't a downloadable equivalent - I just don't know about it.

    I use a 148 MB download from Macrium Reflect which is the Microsoft Win PE 2.1 to do image recovery on my Win 7 x64 computer.

    Are you using the free or paid version.

    According to Macrium Microsoft charges $40 for the download and rights to continual updates of the Win PE so I guess that makes it the paid version because Microsoft got my money although I did not pay anything for the Macrium Reflect software.
