You need to put all your data files on 'd'. If you have partitioned your hard drive, then you should have a hard drive showing up as 'd'. Don't confuse this with the CD or DVD drive being drive 'd'. If you have partitioned your hard drive, you should also have a drive 'd' that is also a hard drive. Almost always your operating system will be drive 'c'. Instead of taking several hours, it can take 15 to 30 minutes (depending on the size of your image).īefore using Macrium Reflect, one thing you want to make sure is that you have your data files (documents, music, photos, videos, etc) on a different partition than your operating system. The purpose is that once you have your computer set up the way you like, you create an 'image' of your computer's main drive and in the future, if/when your computer has problems, instead of reinstalling everything one at a time, you can simply restore the image previously made and your computer will be just like it was before. Macrium Reflect is a program that creates a giant file that is a copy of everything on a chosen partition (or hard drive). If you've picked up a computer that I've repaired, you will most likely have a Macrium Reflect image installed on it.
