 [Optional] To create a 64-bit bootable media, select the Create x64 media check box, if
available. A 64-bit media is required to boot a machine that uses Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI).
 The software runs the appropriate script and proceeds to the next window.
When adding the plug-in to the existing PE ISO:
 Select Use WinPE files located in the folder I specify.
 Specify path to the folder where the WinPE files are located.
5. [Optional] Select whether to enable or disable remote connections to a machine booted from the
media. If enabled, specify the user name and password to be entered on the console side at the
connection to the agent. If you leave these boxes empty, the connection will be disabled.
6. Specify network settings (p. 169) for the machine network adapters or choose DHCP auto
configuration.
7. [Optional] Specify the Windows drivers to be added to Windows PE.
Once you boot a machine into Windows PE, the drivers can help you access the device where the
backup archive is located. Add 32-bit drivers if you use a 32-bit WinPE distribution or 64-bit
drivers if you use a 64-bit WinPE distribution.
To add the drivers:
 Click Add and specify the path to the necessary *.inf file for a corresponding SCSI, RAID, SATA
controller, network adapter, or another device.
 Repeat this procedure for each driver you want to be included in the resulting WinPE boot
media.
8. Choose whether you want to create ISO or WIM image or upload the media on a server (Acronis
PXE Server, WDS or RIS).
9. Specify the full path to the resulting image file including the file name, or specify the server and
provide the user name and password to access it.
10. Check your settings in the summary screen and click Proceed.
11. Burn the .ISO to CD or DVD using a third-party tool or copy to a flash drive.
Once a machine boots into WinPE, Acronis Backup starts automatically.
To create a PE image (ISO file) from the resulting WIM file:
 replace the default boot.wim file in your Windows PE folder with the newly created WIM file. For
the above example, type:
copy c:\AcronisMedia.wim c:\winpe_x86\ISO\sources\boot.wim
 use the Oscdimg tool. For the above example, type:
oscdimg -n -bc:\winpe_x86\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x86\ISO
c:\winpe_x86\winpe_x86.iso
(Do not copy and paste this example. Type the command manually, otherwise it will fail.)
For more information on customizing Windows PE, see the Windows Preinstallation Environment
User’s Guide (Winpe.chm).
9.2 Preparing to work under bootable media
Once a machine boots from bootable media, the machine terminal displays a startup window with
the IP address(es) obtained from DHCP or set according to the pre-configured values. You can change
the network settings before or after starting the work.
