You are right about RTFM of course, I did (eventually) read a copy of the manual which I downloaded some time ago (I really ought to check to see if there's an update, my copy is for v6). I thought there would be something in MR but I couldn't find it.

JP, thanks, "Detach a backup image from Windows Explorer" did the trick.
#How to close virtual disk when using macrium reflect 7 software
Trust me, the software handling your backup and restores is something that you definitely want to understand and utilize properly. You may even learn about some functionality you're currently unaware of but would find quite useful, and testing out features/procedures in advance before you actually need them isn't a bad idea either. Macrium's documentation is much better than most (same with their How-To articles), and you can access the guide under the Help menu within Reflect, but this link will also get you there. It's a bit faster and simpler to look at.Īdditionally, since you said you stumbled along the way just trying to restore a file for the first time, you may want to peruse Reflect's online user guide. You can just mount the partition(s) containing the file(s) you wish to restore. The Snipping Tool built into Windows is a handy way to capture screenshots if you've never done that before.Īnd for future reference if you weren't aware, when you need to mount an image, you don't have to mount ALL of the partitions contained in the image. Drag the horizontal slider separating the upper and lower halves of Disk Management's main display area to show as much from each section as possible, ideally so no scrolling is required in either area and therefore everything can be captured in a single screenshot. You may want to post a screenshot of what you're seeing in Disk Management so people here can give you clearer guidance as to what exactly you're looking at. If you open the Computer Management application (just search that name under Start) and then click Disk Management, you can remove drive letter assignments from local volumes, but that mechanism also leaves the volume mounted, just without a drive letter assigned, which may or may not be appropriate depending on what it is. And if it's not empty, try detaching things that way.īut if you're not sure what the remaining letter is actually assigned to, it's probably a good idea to get sure before you proceed - that actually would have been a good thing to do before you started removing drive letters at all, fyi. If that list is empty, nothing that's left is coming from Reflect. Any virtual drives mounted by Reflect can always be listed by opening Reflect, clicking the Restore tab, and clicking "Detach a backup image from Windows Explorer". It sounds like you ended up mounting either multiple images or multiple partitions from the same image to restore a file, which would explain why you had the Macrium > Unmount option for those, but whatever is left that doesn't offer that unmount option isn't a virtual drive from a Macrium image. All I want to do is get rid of the drive mapping. If I right click the drive letter and select Macrium, the only option offered is "Create a Macrium image of this partition". My problem is that the last one doesn't want to go. I have got rid of all but one (in File Explorer) by right clicking, selecting "Macrium" and then selecting "unmount".

Today I have found several drive letters assigned to. It was my first use of MR to do a Restore and I stumbled along the way but got there in the end. Hi, I used MR to restore a file yesterday.
