I used  Macrium  Reflect to create a Rescue disk. 2 things happened that i need help with.

 

No.01: while building it said your  OS is 64bit while WIM is 32bit.Rescue may not be able to load drivers. I do have all drivers copied onto a usb stick.My system tells me  Windows  RE 3.1(32bit)--Free edition(64bit) v.7.2.4557.

What should I do?

 

No.02:Before writing to usb disk Macrium said:  This usb disk does not contain a Partition table.It may not be uefi bootable. Use

Microsoft Diskpart to initialise this disk as MBR.  I got to diskpart but could not find a way to make mbr!!!!How do I do that?

 

Thank you.

What is the make and full model number of your PC? What version of Windows 10 are you running. Enter winver in a run box to see (Windows key + R, type winver and press Enter).

 

For instance, mine says

 

Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.535)

Windows 10 Pro

 

Also right click on This PC and select S. What does it say next to System type. Mine says:

64-bit Operating system, x64-based processor

 

Under Activation, does it say Windows is activated?

Cool, I also have a Lenovo K450 though mine is the i7-4770 4th Gen.

 

 

My system tells me  Windows  RE 3.1(32bit)--Free edition(64bit) v.7.2.4557

 

What is telling you this? That says your used the 32 bit WinPE. Switch to the 64 bit and see if that gets rid of the error message.

 

In the Rescue builder window, click on the Advanced button, choose 64 bit the OK. Click Build.

The K450 is a UEFI system so the flash drive needs to be UEFI bootable. These are the commands you need to use:

 

2. Insert the USB flash drive.
3. Open a Administrator Command Prompt. It will say Administrator Command Prompt in the Title bar. Enter the following commands:
4. diskpart
5. list disk
6. select disk # <- replace # with the actual disk number of the USB flash drive
7. clean <- this will erase the disk selected above, make sure you selected the USB flash drive!
7a. If the flash drive shows as GPT then you need to convert it to MBR: convert mbr
8. create part pri
8a. sel part 1
9. format fs=fat32 quick
9a. assign
10. active
11. exit

 

That should do it.
