Advantages:
Using Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in Windows Preinstallation Environment provides more
functionality than using Linux-based bootable media. Having booted PC-compatible hardware
into WinPE, you can use not only Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent, but also PE commands
and scripts and other plug-ins you've added to the PE.
PE-based bootable media helps overcome some Linux-related bootable media issues such as
support for certain RAID controllers or certain levels of RAID arrays only. Media based on PE 2.x,
that is, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 kernel, allows for dynamic loading of the
necessary device drivers.
6.10.1 How to create bootable media
To enable creating physical media, the machine must have a CD/DVD recording drive or allow a flash
drive to be attached. To enable PXE or WDS/RIS configuration, the machine must have a network
connection. Bootable Media Builder can also create an ISO image of a bootable disk to burn it later
on a blank disk.
Linux-based bootable media
Start the Bootable Media Builder either from the management console, by selecting Tools > Create
Bootable Media or, as a separate component.
Select the way volumes and network resources will be handledcalled the media style:
A media with Linux-style volume handling displays the volumes as, for example, hda1 and sdb2. It
tries to reconstruct MD devices and logical (LVM) volumes before starting a recovery.
A media with Windows-style volume handling displays the volumes as, for example, C: and D:. It
provides access to dynamic (LDM) volumes.
The wizard will guide you through the necessary operations. Please refer to Linux-based bootable
media (p. 253) for details.
PE-based bootable media
Acronis Plug-in for WinPE can be added to WinPE distributions based on any of the following kernels:
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 (PE 1.5)
Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (PE 1.6)
Windows Vista (PE 2.0)
Windows Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 (PE 2.1)
Windows 7 (PE 3.0)
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. 257) for details.
To be able to create or modify PE 2.x or 3.0 images, install Bootable Media Builder on a machine
where Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) is installed. The further operations are described in
the Adding the Acronis Plug-in to WinPE 2.x or 3.0 (p. 258) section.
If you do not have a machine with WAIK, prepare as follows:
