8.3 Creating factory bootable media

This functionality is available only if the computer has an Acronis Secure Zone that has a backup of the

computer's factory configuration. This backup is normally created in Acronis Secure Zone by a hardware supplier

who delivers computers to end users.

Factory bootable media is a special type of rescue bootable media that includes a backup of a

computer's factory configuration. You can use such media to restore your computer to factory

settings. Note that the restoration will erase all personal data and programs on the computer.

You may have received factory bootable media with your new computer. However, if the hardware

supplier did not include this media or if you do not have the media for any other reasons, you can

create factory bootable media yourself and save it for an emergency.

With True Image 2013 you can create factory bootable media on a USB stick, CD\DVD or as an ISO

image that can be burned to CD\DVD later.

To create factory bootable media:

1. Click Create factory bootable media on the Backup and recovery tab.

A dialog window with bootable media parameters opens.

2. Define the parameters of the media.

3. Click Create.

The program starts creating the factory bootable media. If you have selected to burn a CD or

DVD, the program will ask you to insert another blank disc once the first disc is burned.

Media creation wizard

Use the wizard to choose the type of media: USB, CD\DVD or ISO image.

If you are creating bootable media on a USB stick, make sure to connect the USB stick to the computer before

you begin. The USB stick must be FAT 32 formatted.

If you select to create an ISO image, you also need to specify its parameters:

 Split into - Choose whether the program should split the resulting ISO image into multiple .iso

files of certain size.

 Save file(s) to - Specify the location of the resulting ISO image.

Once you select the media, click Create to start creating the media.

8.4 Working with Acronis Secure Zone

The Acronis Secure Zone is a special partition for storing backups on the same computer that created

the backup. The current True Image 2013 creates the zone as a FAT32 partition.

When you click Acronis Secure Zone on the Tools and utilities tab, the program searches for the

zone on all local drives. If the zone is found, the wizard will offer to manage it (resize, change the

password) or delete it. If there is no zone, you will be prompted to create it.
