The “rebuild” operation is sort of like recompiling files, but that happens on your system. Glad you like Snipping Tool No need to reformat for every Rescue rebuild. When MR announces that Rescue Memory needs to be rebuilt would it be advisable to wipe the disk, reformat and rebuild or just rebuild over the top? Additionally, I'm pretty sure I created the two Rescue Memory sticks in exactly the same manner, however, looking at the two in Disk Management, one of them appears to be partitioned, I don't recall having partitioned a memory stick, something I've never considered doing before. Thanks once again.īy Humpty_Numpty - 9 August 2020 11:30 Please: Following on from the above I created two separate USB Rescue memory sticks with the intention of testing both on alternative months. Thanks, I'll delete everything, format FAT 32 and rebuild.

Or if you want to use that flash drive solely for Rescue Media and aren't especially curious as to what's going on, then just delete everything that's currently on it and rebuild it in Rescue Media Builder. That isn't necessarily a problem, but it can cause the outcome you're seeing. So if you have other content on your flash drive, it will stay there. It will not delete anything else that already exists there (except for existing Rescue Media files that would be overwritten). Note that unless Rescue Media Builder determines that formatting your flash drive before using it for Rescue Media is necessary, it will simply copy Rescue Media files onto the flash drive. The rest of the consumption must be within one or more of those folders, so you'd have to check their sizes to figure out what's going on. Well your first flash drive has a file called EmergencyDisk.iso on it, which is almost 600 MB on its own. It's interesting to note that the USB with the least content contains an additional (yellow) folder named Boot.

Another matter, when I place the USB Stick containing the smaller content I get an error message staying there is a problem with this drive and to scan it now. After reading about sizes I checked the sizes of my two memory sticks: One of them certainly is smaller than 1GB but the other one 7.9GB They both seem to work! I've created a calendar note to check each of the USB sticks every two months, odd months one stick, even months the other and will obviously update both if advised to do by MR. Can you please advise me: I have created two Rescue Media Sticks, they will both boot from my PC: USB stick in the slot, power on the PC, Push F8 Key to enter the BIOS and select the USB stick and after a short while I'm In MR.
