Creating bootable media

To create bootable media:

1. Plug in a USB flash drive, or insert a blank CD or DVD.
2. Start Acronis True Image.
3. In the Tools section, click Rescue Media Builder.
4. Choose a media type that you want to create. Refer to Acronis Media Builder for details.
5. Select a destination for the media:
   • CD
   • DVD
   • USB flash drive (available only for Acronis bootable rescue media)

     If your drive has an unsupported file system, Acronis True Image will suggest formatting it to FAT file system.

     Warning! Formatting permanently erases all data on a disk.

   • ISO image file

     You will need to specify the .iso file name and the destination folder.

     When the .iso file is created, you can burn it onto a CD or DVD. For example, in Windows 7 and later, you can do this using a built-in burning tool. In Windows Explorer, double-click the created ISO image file, and then click Burn.

   • WIM image file (available only for WinPE-based media)

     Acronis True Image adds the Acronis plug-in to the .wim file from Windows AIK or Windows ADK. You will need to specify a name for the new .wim file and the destination folder.

     To create a bootable media by using a .wim file, you first need to convert it to an .iso file. Refer to Creating an .iso file from a .wim file for details.

6. Click Proceed.
