How to run RMB 3.0. from Home menu
STEP 1 – Welcome to the Recovery Media Builder Wizard!
Starting the RMB 3.0. you will be transferred to the welcome page with two checkboxes offered.
1) Advanced mode. This option has moved from BMB and now we can configure network connection or add drivers to recovery media.
2) Use ADKWAIK. Also we still can use WIM image of actual OS for preparing.
It is recommended to use defaults on this step if you don’t need to prepare advanced recovery media.
If you want to create recovery media based on WAIK/ADK please follow steps from this article.
STEP 2 – Recovery media platform.
This step determines which of two available platforms (environment) will be used as a base of recovery media.
The WinPE recovery environment can be a real alternative to the Linux/DOS recovery environment. Providing nearly the same level of functionality it offers an excellent hardware support and the same interface as the Windows version does. It can be used to start a computer that has no operating system, to partition and to format hard drives, to copy disk images, and to initiate Windows Setup from a network share.
The Linux/DOS recovery environment can be used to boot your computer into Linux or PTS DOS to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes. It also has the PTS DOS safe mode, which may help in a number of non- standard situations such as interfering hardware settings or serious problems on the hardware level. In this case, only basic files and drivers (such as hard disk drivers, a monitor driver, and a keyboard driver) will be loaded.
The Linux based recovery media requires to specify your motherboard firmware (uEFI or BIOS). In order to avoid possible incompatibility it is recommended to use WinPE first because it is compatible with both firmware interfaces.
STEP 3 – Recovery media format.
It is required to choose the USB flash from the list.
It is recommended to use less than 32 GB size USB flash for stable FAT32 functionality.
STEP 4 – Recovery media creation.
If you get any errors on this step it is required to read about possible reasons and about soliutions for this error in this article.
STEP 5 – Recovery media created successfully.
