Questioning the basis for the rationale (if any) actually being pursued in their doing that is one of the things that got my own posts "moderated" there. And they've handed out "interim" installation packages on a trial basis to at least one other individual I'm aware of in their "off-the-main-track" efforts rather than dealing directly with some other issues raised in their forum.

It may be necessary to mark partition as active from diskpart for legacy bios installs but that only takes a few seconds.Click to expand.Yup, as I said, they really don't seem to have a very firm grasp of the logic governing interactions between task settings using the WTS v2 API and their own MacriumService handling of missed tasks and "order-of-precedence" rules. With the standard MS iso, the drive is fully legacy bios or uefi compatible. I simply mount iso as a drive and simply copy files to a fat32 drive. I'd advise a USB3 stick as it's so much faster than the USB 2 sticks - they will also boot from USB 2 slots if your computer can't boot from USB 3. All 3 of these systems make the USB stick a very useful tool. What I have is a 16GB USB3 stick with 3 partitions where I can boot Macrium. Incidentally if you have larger USB sticks you can create more than one partition on them so you only need to create a partition size large enough for the stand alone / bootable version of Macrium to run on.

I'd forgotten the fs parameter in my command for non ntfs file system. Yes you are correct - but RUFUS will re-do the partition so it's MBR or UEFI compatible (or both). UEFI based pcs (most these days) will not boot from an NTFS formatted usb drive except in rare cases bios will allow it.įormat drive as fat32 and it is 100% compatible with UEFI or legacy bios. When creating the file system you can choose fat32 or whatever instead of ntfs if you like -rufus will re-create the partition in any case when creating the bootable media.ĭo not format usb drive as NTFS. I've usually found downloading the ISO and using rufus yields the best results - particularly if you need to use the bootable recovery USB stick on both NON UEFI (MBR) and UEFI systems. Otherwise Macrium might create a bootable USB drive directly. iso from macrium use rufus to create a bootable USB.
