3. Select the type of bootable media (CD-R/RW, DVD
+R/RW or 3.5” diskettes) to create. If
your BIOS has this feature, you can create other bootable media such as removable USB
flash drives. You can also choose to create a bootable disk ISO image.
When using 3.5” diskettes, you will be able to write on a diskette (or a set of the diskettes)
only one component at a time (for example, Acronis True Image Home). To write another
component, start Bootable Media Builder once again.
4. If you are creating CD, DVD or any removable media, insert the blank disk so the program
can determine its capacity. If you chose to create a bootable disk ISO image, specify the ISO
file name and the folder in which to place it.
5. Next, the program will calculate how many blank disks are required (in case you have not
chosen ISO or CD) and give you time to prepare them. When you are finished, click
Proceed.
After you create a boot disk, identify it and keep it in a safe place.
