Does Recovery CD recognize External HDD over 3 TB, especially Seagate
2015 didn't until the last build. I am looking to see if the regular (non WinPE) disk will recognize my Seagate 4TB External HDD. Thanks

Brian, that is interesting. When I used the Linux recovery disk it recognised my 3TB Western Digital USB HDD. I think the recovery media I created was 64 bit - cannot remember.

Thanks for the info...much appreciated. So basically, if I purchase 2016 and create a 64 bit recovery disk...should be OK.

Yes Bob, it looks as if that is so,

Hi Bob,
Why not just download the trial version, free, and then create a recovery media - As far as I am aware, this will still work, after the trial period expires!
If you have an older version, such as 2014, or 2015, you would need to un-install first, before downloading the trial 2016
If your older versions work satisfactorily, in all other respects, but for the boot media; then you could re-install, after creating the 2016 boot media.
Again, you would have to un-install 2016, before re-installing you old version
Of course, you could purchase 2016, if you wish; it appears to have resolved many problems - But trial it first!

Hi Bob,
Afraid that I have given you some duff gen!
Although you can create a Boot Media, this media, on the trial version, will not allow you to back up your operating system - I believe that it will allow you to recover your operating system, but I haven't checked this out!
I plan to purchase, 2016, after the 30 day trial period expires; that is if I find that it proves stable on my machine!

Yes, the trial version will allow recovery with no time limit.

Purchased the upgrade. Works fine with the Seagate drive. I posted another question about my Dell Venue Pro with 32 bit OS and UEFI. I downloaded the trial and created a bootable flash drive. Recognizes everything except the hard drive in the tablet. Flash memory 64 GB (C:\) not showing up in the recovery environment. Any thoughts?
