This article describes the steps for creating bootable media for Acronis True Image Workstation

How do you create bootable media?

You can create bootable media using the Rescue Media Builder. For this, you will need a CD-R/RW blank or several formatted diskettes (the wizard will tell you the exact number) or any other media your server can boot from, such as a Zip drive. Acronis® True Image Echo™ Server for Linux also provides the ability to create an ISO image of a bootable disk on the hard disk.

You may run Rescue Media Builder by entering command mediabuilder, or use the Media Builder menu command installed when the True Image software is installed:

These are some extra values that you can use in booting with the correct IP or using the correct password. If you don't know what these values are for, then you probably don't need them to start your computer from scratch. Acronis media builder3.jpg
Choose the drive that will be your rescue disk or drive. I selected a USB drive at K: on my system. Acronis media builder4.jpg

Examine the contents of your bootable media, and you will find about 30 files that will be used to boot a computer with a failed hard drive.
