boot up menu

Hi,

I am using Keriver 1-Click Restore free. My VSS does not work. So I cannot take a snapshot while logged in but have to take it during boot up using Keriver's boot-up menu( I think it's called recovery console).

I want to try Macrium Reflect free and EaseUS todo backup free partly because Keriver is slow in taking and restoring snapshots. But I cannot use either of them from while using desktop. I don't think they have boot-up menu like Keriver for imaging without a problem in the absence of VSS. I think Macrium Reflect paid version offer boot-up menu. But I want to use free version.

Is there a way I can use those two software with boot up menu so that I can make a image without VSS?

Best Wishes,

Make a boot CD and boot from it.

Or fix your VSS: http://kb.macrium.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50010.aspx

 

already tried to fix vss using that .....but to no avail....

making a boot cd is not an option......I was looking for more like a boot menu Keriver restore offers.....

 

I think Keriver is the only free imaging program that gives an easy way to install a boot menu.
