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 or save bootable data
on the RIS server.
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 Server). To write another
component, start Bootable Media Builder once again.
4. If you are creating a CD, DVD, diskettes 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. If you chose to save bootable
data on a RIS server, specify the server and provide the user name and password to access
it.
5. Next, the program will calculate how many blank disks are required (in case you have not
chosen ISO or RIS) and give you time to prepare them. When you are finished, click
Proceed.
After you create a boot disk, mark it and keep it in a safe place.
