Keith is right. Once you have the .iso, burn it with ImgBurn.
Ok Wolfgang and Keith mates I have ImgBurn as a matter of normally kept apps what I don't get though is it doesn't seem to "download" much at all? I follow the instructions all the way through until it says insert a DVD and this is what happens.
Now I follow Wolfgang to the part where you say it takes too long and you say it takes a long time so you skip it and go to the imaging.
I start up Macrium and it asks me if I want to make a rescue disk when I clcik on that symbol at top left.
It is at this point I am missing something because I click on that left side and follow the prompts and end up with it giving me the message in the other pic I sent.
However right now I have to leave so I shall have to wait till tomorrow to set it up but I shall be online during the night at some stage should you wish to post back:)
John.
You don't do anything with Macrium. you download the WinPE ISO from one of the locations in the Notes section at the head of this tutorial and then burn it to DVD using Imgburn.
John have you downloaded the iso where Keith suggested? That is all you need to do besides unzipping and saving it. No WAIK and tell Macrium No to making a rescue disk. This iso IS the data to make the rescue disk, a.k.a. WinPE. :)
No to both queries a I was thinking it would do the download when I hit that button it sort of did "something" but then I ended up with the message.
I have obviously missed something in the tutorial and will give it another read though tonight I will do the right thing tomorrow when I get up
Just did my first Windows 7 system restore (22.5 Gb image) using Macrium Reflect the other day and it took over an hour to complete. And this was restoring from a SATA III HDD to and SSD. I thought this was strange as it usually only takes about 3 minutes and 25 seconds to make a complete system image. I was wondering if this is a normal time frame for restoring system images using Macrium Reflect.
Not really. My full image to a USB2 attached drive takes nearly an hour. The restore to a spinner takes half an hour. In this case it seems to be the destination drive that is the limiting factor. Why it should be so slow writing to an SSD is strange to say the least.
I would think something is wrong for such a smallish image.. Someone else reported something similar but I'm not sure what the outcome was - someone may remember.
What sort of performance do you get when using an external USB HDD? Imaging 50GB to a USB 3 HDD takes me ~10min when the HDD when it has little data on it and ~15min when 80% full (speed of writing to out versus inner tracks).
