8.1 Creating bootable rescue media
You can run Acronis True Image 2015 from an emergency boot media on a bare-metal system or a
crashed computer that cannot boot. You can even back up disks on a non-Windows computer,
copying all its data into the backup by imaging the disk in the sector-by-sector mode. To do so, you
need bootable media that has a copy of the standalone Acronis True Image 2015 version installed on
it.
How you can obtain bootable media:
Use the installation CD of the boxed product.
Make a media bootable with Acronis Media Builder:
Blank CD
Blank DVD
USB flash drive
Note: The data it may contain will not be modified.
Create an .iso image file to burn it afterwards onto a CD or DVD.
Create WinPE-based media with Acronis plug-in.
8.1.1 Acronis Media Builder
Acronis Media Builder allows you to make a USB flash drive or a blank CD/DVD bootable. In case
Windows cannot start, use the bootable media to run a standalone version of True Image and
recover your computer.
You can create several types of bootable media:
Acronis bootable rescue media
This type is recommended for most users.
WinPE-based media with Acronis plug-in
Running Acronis True Image 2015 in the preinstallation environment may provide better
compatibility with your computer’s hardware because the preinstallation environment uses
Windows drivers.
We recommend that you create this type of media, when Acronis bootable rescue media did not
help you boot your computer.
To use this option, you need the following components to be installed:
Acronis Media Add-on. You can download it from the Acronis website.
One of the following:
Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK).
This component is required for creating WinPE 3.0.
Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
This component is required for creating WinPE 4.0 and WinPE 5.0.
Notes
We recommend that you create a new bootable media after each Acronis True Image 2015
upgrade.
If you use non-optical media, the media must have FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
