Hi folks. I have imaged my neighbours Netbook with Macrium Reflect. Since it has no DVD burner, I want to create a bootable Macrium (Linux) recovery media on a thumb drive. Not sure how to proceed.
Many thanks

Just happen to have an excellent tutorial for that. :)
MACRIUM REFLECT - Create Bootable Rescue USB Drive
Wow. What a great tutorial. Many thanks Derekimo.
The only item that confuses me, is why I would want multible Macrium ISO's on the thumb drive. The actual Backup Image is stored on an external USB hard drive, so I would only need to get to the Macrium recovery thumb drive to direct macrium Recovery to where the actual image is stored. I must be a little slow today.
Thanks again.

You don't need multiple Macrium ISOs on there. I think he has set it up for several users with perhaps different hardware.
This tutorial contains a link in the Notes section to the WinPE version of the recovery disk already created as an iso by whs. This is usually a better solution than the Linux disk. Imaging with free Macrium
You will find the WinPE that whs created to be compatible with more computers than the linux recovery disc.

I used Rufus to burn the .iso to a USB stick. Really simple to use. Get it here The Portable Freeware Collection - Rufus Be careful of the big Download Now! button. Look for the link for the download.
