Solved Macrium Reflect (Free 5.0.4118): need help on "recover partition"

[Golden]

Frank, how are you writing this ISO to the USB drive?

 

[Frank1000]

I'm using YUMI ...

 

[Golden]

Ok, there are no spaces in the ISO name, which is normally where the issue is with YUMI. Are you using the unlisted ISO option? I'm stumped.....how far into the boot process do you get?

 

[Frank1000]

Yes, I used the "unlisted ISO" ... last option in the list. As far as visible during booting, it loads the iso probably until end, since it takes that about 2 minutes as it did with the other iso (which didn't bring any target disks unfortunately) ... and then just reboots ...

 

[Golden]

Frank, does the Macrium Recovery actually load?

 

[Frank1000]

It does not with the WinPE isos but it does with the Linux iso though. Only there no target disks are provided yet.

 

[Golden]

Frank, could you take a photo of what you are seeing when you use the Linux option, and post it here for us please?

 

[Frank1000]

sure

Frank, Macrium isn't even booting! It looks like you are using the boot from the 'Run from RAM' option. Please use the next option up, as shown below.

ok, I checked it with a new YUMI sesion with "Try an unlisted ISO", but after booting with YUMI and selecting that iso, it did not load the iso and returned immediately to re-boot.
I then created a new iso and yumi-write-to-USB (screenshot sequence), but that also didn't load and went to re-boot immediately.
When I followed http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/218920-macrium-reflect-create-bootable-rescue-usb-drive.html at the first try, it did load the iso and did show my disk to select the drive-image, but then did not show any target disks.

it did load the iso and did show my disk to select the drive-image, but then did not show any target disks.

Frank, can you show a photo of what you are describing above please?

 

[Frank1000]

this screen first time came up with zero listed drives,

... now I have redone the process from scratch with linux option and WOW it worked ! ... probably the reason was the same mistake as you've pointed out (from RAM).

Thank you for looking into it and your patience

Regards,
Frank

That looks OK to me - the target drive is listed.

Hi,
I receive no target drive to restore an image again. Had the same problem before and it was resolved in this thread. But when I redo all and follow the findings from the solution here, the problem still resists.

After my usb drive created "boot error" when I wanted to restore an image (Win7) that i had created with Macrium, I went ahead and formatted the USB stick with FAT32, ran Macrium / Other Tasks / Create rescue Media : Linux, Create ISO image file, "Rescue_07_Linux.iso".
"Rescue Media Succesfully Created".

Then YUMI.exe / Try an Unlisted ISO (... not the Run from RA< one) / Rescue_07_Linux.iso / create ... all fileas properly appear on the usb stick after that. stick boots again, i can select the iso, macrium recovery loads well, I walk through selecting the iso, and when it comes to the target drive, no drives coming up there again.

Any idea what could have gone wrong ?

Best regards,
Frank

Hi Frank, I find Linux restore disks quite unreliable. You are far better off using The WinPE disk. WHS has kindly uploaded a disk which you can download from here.https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=475A0A48CA6D4035!1812

Hi Kado,
thx for reply. I've downloaded and copied the Rescue.iso to the IOS dir on mu USB stick I'm booting from, but in the selection screen for the .ios the WinPE rescue ios's (I had made one earlier too) are not shown yet, althogh there ... what am i doing wrong ?

 

[kado897]

1. Remove the ISO from the USB and place it on your desktop..
2. Start the YUMI program in Windows.
3. Navigate to Try an unlisted iso.
4. Browse to the iso on your desktop.

It will load the iso into the USB and set up the necessary index entries.

 

[Frank1000]

ah gotit, needs to be added by YUMI.exe. I did, and now it appears (Rescue10_WinPE.iso), but when I select it, I'm immediately passed to the boot from CD/DVD screenyet ...

 

[kado897]

That's correct. Take no notice of CD and DVD. Just hit any key and the iso will boot.
