Solved macrium image verification

[whs]

That looks more like it. Get the Revo Uninstaller ( the free version). Launch the Revo. Select the Macrium for uninstall (just double click on it on the Revo page), then tick 'Advanced Option'.

Once it uninstalled, continue and delete all registry entries and all Macrium files with the next steps in Revo.

Then reinstall Free Macrium.

PS: 32bit and 64bit should be the same. But you are probably running on 32bit.

Keep the image you made with the CD and delete the others.

ok

have never used revo before is that beter than just normal uninstall method?

is it ok to delete registry entries etc?

ok thoughgt it worth checking as i saw 64 bit and im using 32bit win vista thought may cause of problems..

ok even though im uninstalling that image will still be good will it?

1. I recommended Revo for a reason - too long to explain.

2. The Macrium registry entries can ALL be deleted.

3. If you have a 32bit OS, you run the 32bit Macrium. But the WinPE cd brings it's own OS and that is 64bit - same Macrium though.

4. Images you uninstall will be gone. The two you took with your installed Macrium are no good. The one you took with the CD is a keeper.

5. I am going to bed now. Talk to you tomorrow.

1.
ok sorry for asking
just i have not heard of it before have just always used windows programs and features to remove softwares


2.
ok again its counter-intuative as ive always been told not to mess with registry entries.


3.
yes im 32bit vista. and as far as i now downloaded 32bit macrum. ok just thought may be worth noting that i had seen it was 64bit macrium in the winpe as i was having problems it could of been related. (as the recovery was yours and you may have 64bit etc) thought may have been the culprt for the bad image 64bit on 32bit os causing a conflict or something again i didnt know but thought best to mention. to be safe.

4.
ok delete the 2 older os images and i assume the 1 i create of my eisa partition?
but keep the 1 made using winPE (the larger one)

5.i had the same idea it was 5am where i am couldnt keep eyes open

ad 2) Don't worry. removing the reg entries with Revo is perfectly OK. If you don't do that (and removing the Macrium files in the next Revo step), your reinstallation of Macrium may be just as bum as your current installation. If those entries linger in the system, the next Macrium installation may reuse them.

ad 3) 32bit or 64bit Macrium is no different. The problem is not there.

hi just thought id mention the image i made last night using winpe. that you said was a keeper.. will that not have the bad macrium install on that image? i.e do i still need to keep that or best to delete and create another once i have the new macrium install?

thanks

 

[billybellfoot]

also just a thought.. as i have norton internet security.. and i think that has tamper protection(wich i believe is what prevents me using system restore) would / could that prevent me deleting the reg entries with revo uninstaller?

thanks again

 

[whs]

no it will not

 

[billybellfoot]

thanks so that image is still a good image? even though it has the origional (bad) macrium install?
