Or are you trying to make a full bootable 'clone' of your whole OS drive?
Im just trying to make a rescue usb for the scenario that my pc enters an unbootable state. I got it to work I believe. It brings me to an acronis program that gives options to recover drives and so forth. I tested it through the bios. I didn't go as far as to actually recover the files. I don't think I should need to, as long as the rescue usb is recognized by my pc, wouldn't you say?
