Make sure your Dell is bootable from USB (BIOS Setting). You should then get the boot menu that will let you select your USB device. Just keep tapping it as you boot until you hear a beep. My hope is that someone who has used Macrium Reflect Free for some time has found the magic solution for this problem.ĭon’t hold down the F12 key.
