External media not detected when booting from Recovery Media

Post by MerleOne » Sat Nov 12, 2016 8:30 am

Hi,
I am using R-Drive Image V6.6015. I recently noticed that when booting from a USB recovery media, the external drive on which my backup files lie is not detected. This external drive is actually a SSD formated with exFat filesystem, which I believe is appropriate for SSD. The bare SSD is in a USB enclosure and both form that external drive.

I suspect exFat format is responsible for this. Because I tested another SSD and another SATA/USB interface, same result.

I'd like to add that this external media is recognized when I want to image it with RDI in boot media environment, it is perfectly detected and seen as exFat.

When I connect a "regular" HDD in NTFS format, it is recognized without a glitch by the recovery media.

Is there something to do to solve this.

PS : I am using a Lenovo Y700 running W10 Home x 64

I've passed the problem to our developers.

Thanks. Apparently I need to create the dump from the recovery environment. Will do that later on...
