Building Recovery Media

Recovery Media Builder can help you accomplish the following operations:

 Prepare the Linux/DOS recovery environment (included in the installation package) on external media (CD, DVD,

or flash memory) to boot and run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to get access to your hard disk

for maintenance or recovery purposes (strongly recommended);

 Prepare a custom Linux/DOS recovery environment by adding any data you like to the standard image;

 Prepare a bootable recovery environment from any ISO image, including our WinPE 3.0 image (strongly

recommended);

 Create from the master CD the Linux/DOS or WinPE recovery environment on a CD/DVD disc, or flash memory.

Below you can find how to build our WinPE 3.0 based recovery environment on a thumb drive:

1. Plug in a thumb drive of at least 250 MBs in size. Please note all data on that drive will be deleted.

2. Launch the Recovery Media Builder. There are several ways to do it:

 In the Main Menu: select Tools > Recovery Media Builder…

 On the Common Tasks Bar: click the Recovery Media Builder item of the Wizards menu.

3. On the Wizard's Welcome page, click the Next button.

4. Select the Flash Memory option.

5. Select the User specified CD/DVD image (.iso file) option, then browse for an ISO image of our WinPE 3.0

recovery environment or manually type in a full path to it. By selecting the Typical option you can build our

Linux/DOS recovery environment, which we highly recommend you to do as well.
