Wolfgang:
Okay, I tried the ISO you posted and all I got the first time is:
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer. If you continue to receive this error message contact your hardware manufacturer.
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexplained I/O error has occurred
I tried a new blank CD-R and it loaded... the problem is that it specifies that the PE environment is 64-bit. I have 32-bit Win 7.
I tried making Rescue Media from within Macrium Reflect Free twice.
The first time, I downloaded PE files and added them. When booting from my freshly created disc, all I got was an error message saying that Windows could not access Boot Manager, and pressing Esc booted Windows normally.
The second time, Macrium Reflect hangs on "Please Wait". My disc burners just make clicking noises and don't burn anything to a CD-R disc.
I will stick to the Linux recovery disc which works just fine when I need it most. Trying to use an old non-aligned image is more bother than it's worth. I'm also suspecting faulty burners... they can't burn CD-RWs for crap. I've ruined more than I've burnt. Time to go burner shopping.
