If you already have media with PE1.x distribution, unpack the media ISO to a local folder and start the

Bootable Media Builder either from the management console, by selecting Tools > Create Bootable

Media or, as a separate component. The wizard will guide you through the necessary operations.

Please refer to Adding the Acronis Plug-in to WinPE 1.x (p. 271) for details.
