    Using Boot.wim instead of WinPE.wim for rescue media?


    I need Macrium reflect to build a bootable rescue USB. Without needing to download anyhting from Microsoft. pointing the wizard to my Boot.wim from the Windows7 installation disc does not help. Macrium probably needs a "WinPE.WIM". Where can I find this on my Windows 7 system?

    Should I use Install.Wim instead?

    Not sure why macrium claims to be able to use a custom wim, it always refuses.

    There is a little thing here that will create fully functional pe for you, and include Macrium.

I have heard Paragon will not be offering winpe media after 30-3-12. If you have a Paragon product that comes with it - you need to d.l it before then. I don't know why exactly - MS has changed the licensing terms - and I presume Paragon don't think it is worth it. It is quite odd. I...
