    I ran it whilst the 16GB stick was in as well. This actually works because i've just done a recovery using it.

    I'll have to get in touch with my eBay seller over the 32GB stick, but it'd be handy to know whether i can tell them the stick IS faulty rather than it just isn't working for me the way i want it to for some unknown reason.

    OK have you tried formatting it as FAT32 But not a quick format ?? I seem to remember that some USB's won't boot due to the first 2 bytes of the MBR being like a Floppy Disk that is write protected , but my memory often fails me :cool: I will have a scan of the interwobbly to see if I can find it ;)

  • This may or may not help with seeing if the USB stick is bootable/usable but it may be worth trying gparted usb , you will also need to download Unetbootin with it http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php#windows-method-c , just another option to test the stick

    Curiosity - are there any GOOD FREE programs like Acronis out there? Ones that aren't likely to give this issue? Just want to make a reliable image of my HDD, preferably in 1 lump & make the same stick bootable.

    I did mine differently I too use acronis true image.
    I just made the recovery.iso file. Then used a 3rd party program called YUMI to add it to a flash drive as a bootable iso image, i've got other recovery iso files on there, even windows 7 as a precaution.
    Hirens boot cd etc. however my tib files are on a spare hdd.
    How did you do that with Acronis?

    When backing up a partition, i can only save it as a .tib or .zip. Not a .iso - it's not an available option.

    He created an iso of the True Image recovery software only, and created USB drive using Yumi , he saves his .tibs on a separate Hard Disk Drive

    I tried using the MS "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" to make a bootable USB with Windows 7.

    I used UltraISO to make an .iso of my legit Windows 7 DVD.

    When going through the process it said the .iso was not valid, so that was that idea out the window.

    I'm sending the 32GB stick back. Looking at the seller (ccompany UK) on eBay - they've had negative feedback left for them regards fake USB sticks,
