Creating a WinPE rescue media using Macrium Reflect on a 1TB USB-3 Flash drive is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Prerequisites:
-
Download and install Macrium Reflect (https://www.macrium.com/reflectmoreinfo) on a system from which you can create the WinPE media.
-
Format the USB drive as FAT32, as WinPE requires this file system.
Steps to create WinPE media:
-
Launch Macrium Reflect and click on the "WinPE ISO" button on the toolbar.
-
In the "WinPE ISO Builder" window, click on the "Browse" button next to "Save as:" and select the location where you want to save the WinPE ISO file.
-
Under "Select a template," choose the appropriate template based on your system architecture (x64 for 64-bit systems, x86 for 32-bit systems).
-
Click on the "Add" button under "Select files to include:" and browse to the location of the necessary drivers for your system. Add the necessary drivers (network, storage, etc.) to the list.
-
Click on the "Add" button under "Select scripts to include:" and browse to the location of any custom scripts you want to include.
-
Click on the "Build" button to start creating the WinPE ISO file.
-
Once the ISO file is created, use a tool like Rufus (https://rufus.ie/) to create the WinPE media on the USB drive. Select the ISO file you just created, choose your USB drive as the target device, and ensure the file system is set to FAT32. Click "Start" to create the WinPE media.
Restoring system from image:
-
Boot the system from the WinPE media you just created.
-
Once WinPE loads, open a command prompt and navigate to the "Rescue" folder on the USB drive.
-
Run the Macrium Reflect executable (Reflect.exe) with the "/m" switch to start the Macrium Reflect GUI.
-
In the Macrium Reflect GUI, load the image you want to restore and follow the prompts to restore the image to the correct drive.
