I honestly can’t recommend it to beginners I must’ve did something wrong in Macrium, I was just blindly following a different youtube video that seemed promising. I had no clue you can do so much from the command line on an installation media drive. After following the GPT methods, i was able to boot up normally on my new drive.
Really not sure if we’re allowed to link videos, but this youtube video saved the day by re-creating the boot sector from the command prompt on a windows installation usb drives recovery section. Here’s what fixed my non bootable macrium reflect cloned drive: Couldn’t boot, got some blue screen saying I didn’t have a bootable drive connected.I assumed new drive was working fine cause it booted up (it didn’t).Somehow successfully booted (my new drive probably failed to boot so it chose my old one, which i didn’t realize).Restarted computer and change boot order.I actually just went through this hassle all day yesterday, heres my experience mrimg file there on the big usb drive, but couldn’t find a way to browse to the image file itself when macrium was looking for it. I’m surprised that they don’t allow you to browse for it, because when I was exploring, I ended up on the ‘install new driver’ page in that same area, and I could browse and see the. And no matter what I did, I could not get macrium to find the new image.
I went to ‘restore from disk image’ and then attached the 2TB usb drive.
I shut down, removed the old hard drive, put in the new one, and and booted into rescue mode with the little usb drive. I created a new macrium rescue media 8GB usb drive.
I formatted the new drive I want to use (1 TB). There is other stuff on the drive, but I assumed macrium would still be able to find it. I created an image on an external 2tb usb drive, and put it at the root of the drive. Thank you for the suggestion, and thank you everyone else for all of your input! I tried this plan tonight.
