They've made a change to how the emergency CDs are made. (When - about when Windows 10 came out?) [] However, a fifth option is for the preparation scheme to extract a WinPE off the drive with C: on it. They have a search algorithm for locating a .wim they can make a CD from. When I tested it, *it grabbed the wrong file* and the results were hilarious. It mixed 64 bit materials with 32 bit materials, and when the CD was booted, the software would not run (because there would be subsystems missing). In effect, it was running 64-bit macrium.exe on a 32-bit WinPE OS. So far, I've had no problems using the Macrium 5 mini-CDs (a 32 and a 64 bit version) I made on my XP system - using them on XP (32-bit hardware), Win7-64, 7-32, and 10, with USB2 peripherals, including (for one of the 7-64 systems) a FAT peripheral (so it made a multifile image; worked transparently). I've recently spotted that the external dock I use for myself has an e-SATA port, and since the 7-32 laptop I'm now on does also, I'll investigate that next time I image (still using the M5 CD). [] The best approach, is to make sure you've selected the WinPE version (Win8 or Win10) that have the built-in USB3 driver, as that's a better choice when you want the performance benefits of full USB3 operation. Stick with the old method, select WinPE10 (as long as your operating system will allow the WADK kit to run from that version selection). So the selection of WinPE version (is that the same as WADK?) is independent of the version of Windows you're running under when you make the CD? And (whatever the answer to that question) you need to (be under or select) an 8 or later to have a USB3 driver on the CD? It's getting to the point, it's hard for me to write a tutorial with all these details covered off properly :-/ Paul I can see that. We're all very grateful for the ones you have made! -- J. P.
