Imaging with free Macrium

Try this link on Filehippo Download Macrium Reflect 6.0.753 - FileHippo.com or the link in my sig.

Probably something simple I ma doing wrong but I cannot get C: drive to image to an external. There are two internal SSD's and one 750GB external but as in my pic it just will not pick up the external drive as a destination.

Have tried everything from cleaning it and reformatting the external to giving it a label etc etc but still no choice of destination drive.

Any thoughts please as I think it must be something as I said I am missing.

Hi John. Are you able to navigate to it by pressing the button alongside the dropdown?

David and Kado yes fellas I hit that and it only gives me the E: as the only option

Never done this before and I do remember selecting the internal E: as a test image - would that have something to do with it??

If you are creating an image from within Windows then if you can see the ext drive (USB 2 or 3) with Windows explorer then so should Macrium. Seeing the drive from a bootable pe rescue disc is another matter.

Now I don't know if anyone can explain this but I ticked the E: drive just for curiosity and the Image this disk stayed at the C: drive and I dropped the option destination and found the external listed then went through with a normal image which is fairly quick on this machine??

I am guessing I did something wrong but for the life of me I cannot say what

Probably nothing to do with it but there is a bug fix out today. The second release this week.

What's New 6.1.865 - 12th October 2015

For detailed information on new features of v6.1 please see this KB article

Delta Indexes for Incremental Images
More efficient Incremental index storage offers faster consolidation and smaller file sizes. This option needs to be enabled in v6.1. See this KB article for more information
Note: Rescue media must be built using v6.1 if you use delta incremental indexes.
German language support
For Windows installations using German locales a new option to install Macrium Reflect in the German language is now offered in the full installer for Home, Workstation, Server and Server Plus Editions. This will be made available for the free edition soon.
Windows PE 10.0
The latest Windows PE 10 is now included in the rescue media build wizard. PE is now the default option for Windows 8.0 and later. Windows PE 10 offers support for Windows 10 compact installs and Windows 8.1 Wim Boot file systems.
Note: If your system requires PE 10 then you will be prompted to create PE 10 rescue media when starting the rescue media wizard.
Destination drive letter discovery
The destination drive unique volume GUID path can now be saved in the backup definition file. Saving the backup destination volume GUID path instead of the drive letter enables Windows to assign different drive letters to USB drives without affecting the backup destination detection.
Note: This option is disabled by default. Please see this KB article for more information.
