Here is the procedure I used for USB3 drivers. In creating the macrium pe it didn't automatically search for these drivers.
Problem recoverying from backup via USB 3.0 external drive
@Salluhasan
Image all partitions. You will normally only need to reimage your OS partition but you should have an image of your recovery partition if it gets damaged or your HDD fails and needs replacing. You can reimage the recovery partition and in the worst case scenario do a factory recovery. I'm not sure if the factory recovery DVDs you should have made will restore a recovery partition to a new HDD.
Note: If F11 doesn't allow you to boot the recovery partition then setting to be ACTIVE using a tool like free Partition Wizard should allow you to boot directly into it. (Worst case scenario).
