    Updating Macrium and new rescue disk question


    We'll ..... things have been in storage for some time and only catching up now.
    I'm getting a Win7 laptop up to date, as I need it, and imaging as I go.
    But.....Macrium is version 5.0.4196.

    If I update Macrium to V 5.3.7170, I believe I need to make a new rescue disk.
    Will it work with the older images I have?
    I Still have the previous rescue disk.

    And if I can ask here, how is IE 11 to install? Any crazy issues?

    Not kidding when I say stored for a while!! Thanks so much.

    Never heard of any issues using a new Macrium boot disk with an old image file. As far as I know, new disks are fully backward-compatible.

    Can't help you with IE.

I noticed in the new v6 of Macrium the option to create a Linux boot is not longer there and the only available options are different flavors of WinPE depending what version Windows I'm running (Windows 7). When I created a WinPE 3.1 boot disk in Macrium 6 I notice it has to copy certain drivers...

Today I put my rescue disk in to see how it looked. The drive letters in Macrium are not the same letters showing in Disk Management. They are all scrambled. I made another Rescue Disk and it is that way also. If I am not making myself clear here is how they look. Disk Management=Macrium C:...
