Odd that this came up as I just made myself today a new DVD and USB stick recovery media using a fresh download of Free version 7.2.3825 without any problems of any kind, Ran and verified both the DVD and USB stick and they both worked Fine. I can only suggest that you might try this newer version, I still have copies of 6.3 but the USB sometimes fails to load so I deleted it and used a new stick. Rene |

An error occurred extracting the Macrium Reflect Windows PE files Could be the previously download WinPE archive is corrupt. If you don't get a prompt to re-download the file, delete the existing one. C:\ProgramData\Macrium\Reflect\Windows AIK Delete whatever is under there and have Macrium re-download the WAIK file from Microsoft. As I recall, Macrium saves the WAIK image under: C:\Boot\macrium\WAIKFiles However, that might be for the boot image used when you select to load Macrium from the Windows boot-time menu. When I run "bcdedit" in a command shell, one of the boot sources is a .wim (Windows Imaging file) under the above path. http://reflect.macrium.com/help/v5/h...ironment.ht m That is for Reflect v5. I don't see an option to force a re-download, so my guess is you have to delete the previously WAIK file to make Reflect retrieve a new one. https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/di...g+rescue+media v7 has a force rebuild. You need a .wim file to have a WinPE to copy to the rescue target. Alas, didn't find the manual for v6. Their "Support" link on their home page takes me to pages about 7.2. I didn't bother to dig through web.archive.org looking for old pages that described v6. I had to do a google search on "macrium reflect 6 knowledgebase" and found: https://knowledgebase.macrium.com/di...w+in+Version+6 There's a link there saying it points to the v6 manual. If it's the WIM file that's corrupt, you could trying deleting the Macrium rescue image and create it again. You didn't say from where you were trying to load the WinPE boot image (that Reflect added itself). If it's a boot-time menu choice, use Reflect's menu to delete the WinPE boot image as a choice. In v7, I'd go to the Other Tasks menu, select "Add recovery boot menu option", and select None (no WIM boot for Reflect's WinPE). Reboot to make the boot-time option is gone and then use the same menu in Reflect to create a new boot image. If you're booting from a disc (CD or DVD) or a flash drive, use a new disc (or erase a rewritable one) or format the USB flash drive and have Reflect put a new boot image on it.

Look for waiklog.txt and see what broke. ******* What happens sometimes, is you select too old a version of WinPE (four versions are available), and the Microsoft server with the files has some sorta problem with the old version. Even if you were to keep your current installation, start the Rescue media process again, *change* the WinPE version to one not used before, the download of new .cab files and squashing of those into a ZIP, might work better. The waiklog.txt will serve as inspiration, in terms of how the process works. It will show the names of some of the files it is downloading. I tried to interfere with the process one day (like, fix stuff), and it's rather intolerant of people meddling with it. You can't stage files to make it pick up where it left off. It likes to delete stuff, rather than use things you might try to hand to it. Paul |

Its single purpose is to make backup copies of everything necessary to restore Windows. |
