I have been able to boot to the Macrium interface using a rescue CD. (With my level of technical knowledge and experience that's nearly cause for celebration), These are the steps that worked this morning.

Shortly, the full Macrium interface is on screen Then screen becomes gray and a Macrium popup says 'loading drivers'Д©. Words appear saying 'Windows is loading files'ДЁ.

Words come up saying 'press any key to continue to boot from CD' - I press any keyД§. Use down key to select Internal CD/DVD ROM drive - press EnterД¦. After the Boot Options screen appears, Insert Macrium rescue CDДҐ. Please tell me if the following procedure using a Macrium rescue CD is correct in order to boot an unbootable laptop so an image restore can be done.ДЈ. Yes you can exit the program without doing any changes. Select that option to see if you can access the Macrium Recover Environment, its a good test to confirm that it works in your computer.

The boot menu doesn't auto select the Windows 7 option? Whit this option you can boot to the Recovery Environment without using a CD or flash drive. It seems that at some point you did select the option 'Add Recovery Boot Menu Option.' from the Other Tasks menu. Since I do not need to use Macrium to restore at this time, IF I select Macrium at the Boot Manager screen and it loads, can I exit Macrium at File>Exit? Is this now the normal startup? Do I have to select either Windows with debugger or Macrium every time I restart or turn the laptop on?Дў. At the bottom of the screen is 'Tool: Windows Memory Diagnostic'. Then it says 'To specify an advanced option for this choice, press F8'.

It asks me to choose between Windows 7-debugger enabled OR Macrium Reflect System Recovery or select a tool using Tab. (It's basically the same black screen as the one at 2:07 in the YouTube link JohnC gave me in post #13). Every time I restart, the Windows Boot Manager screen comes up. I'm not concerned here right now with System Restore, just with Macrium being properly installed and able to be used if necessary.ДЎ. The reason being that even using BC help months ago, I could not get System Restore to function normally, nor could I get Windows Backup & Restore to allow a system image on my WD external HDD to be used for a restore. My goal was to have Macrium Reflect installed and available if I ever need to restore using a system image.
