Cannot boot from Flash Drive

[whs]

I have imaged to the micro SDXC card - no problem. The problem I currently have is that my Macrium WinPE apparently has no driver for the SD card. I can restore a data partition from the installed Macrium, but the WinPE does not see the card.

124GB cards are extremely expensive. I think you would do better off with a disk - even a 120GB SSD is cheaper. A 64GB MicroSD card can cost up to $100 whilst a 120GB SSD can be had for $70. And the SSD is n-teen times faster and more reliable.

PS - Here is a full size 128 SD card with a decent performance - but look at the price. And that is still 5 times slower than a SSD.

Thanks.
I think I'll stick with usb.

My last image was about 12 GBs.

A stick is OK for travelling with a small laptop or a tablet. But for home use I would recommend a disk. That is a lot faster and more reliable - especially a SSD.

For when you take the image, speed does not matter because you can 'hide' Macrium. But the recovery from a stick will be extremely slow - you may be talking hours.
