9.1.1.4 Drivers for Universal Restore
While creating bootable media, you have an option to add Windows drivers to the media. The drivers
will be used by Universal Restore when recovering Windows on a machine with a dissimilar
processor, different motherboard or different mass storage device than in the backed-up system.
You will be able to configure the Universal Restore:
 to search the media for the drivers that best fit the target hardware
 to get the mass-storage drivers that you explicitly specify from the media. This is necessary when
the target hardware has a specific mass storage controller (such as a SCSI, RAID, or Fiber Channel
adapter) for the hard disk.
For more information please refer to "Acronis Universal Restore" (p. 114).
The drivers will be placed in the visible Drivers folder on the bootable media. The drivers are not
loaded into the target machine RAM, therefore, the media must stay inserted or connected
throughout the Universal Restore operation.
Adding drivers to bootable media is available when you are creating a removable media or its ISO or
detachable media, such as a flash drive. Drivers cannot be uploaded on a PXE server or WDS/RIS.
The drivers can be added to the list only in groups, by adding the INF files or folders containing such
files. Selecting individual drivers from the INF files is not possible, but the media builder shows the
file content for your information.
To add drivers:
1. Click Add and browse to the INF file or a folder that contains INF files.
2. Select the INF file or the folder.
3. Click OK.
The drivers can be removed from the list only in groups, by removing INF files.
To remove drivers:
1. Select the INF file.
2. Click Remove.
9.1.2 WinPE-based bootable media
Bootable Media Builder provides three methods of integrating Acronis Backup with WinPE:
 Adding the Acronis Plug-in to the existing PE ISO. This comes in handy when you have to add the
plug-in to the previously configured PE ISO that is already in use.
 Creating the PE ISO with the plug-in from scratch.
 Adding the Acronis Plug-in to a WIM file for any future purpose (manual ISO building, adding
other tools to the image and so on).
Bootable Media Builder supports WinPE distributions that are based on any the following kernels:
 Windows Vista (PE 2.0)
 Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 (PE 2.1)
 Windows 7 (PE 3.0) with or without the supplement for Windows 7 SP1 (PE 3.1)
