Creating Startup Disks Using R-Studio Emergency Startup Media Creator


You need to create either

A startup FAT/FAT32 removable device recognized by your system as a bootable one. The total available size of the device should be more than 50 MB. You may use this device to start both UEFI computers (modern Windows/Mac/Linux systems) and old Windows/Mac/Linux machines.
or

A startup CD/DVD disc. You may create an ISO image, or write the disc directly from R-Studio Emergency Startup Media Creator , if there is a CD/DVD recorder in your system. You may use this disc to start both UEFI computers (modern Windows/Mac/Linux systems) and old Windows/Mac/Linux machines.

An ISO image to start up a virtual machine, to create a USB device using other software, or to burn it to a CD/DVD disc using your favorite CD/DVD writing software.

You may create a Linux-based or WinPE based startup disk.

Note: R-Studio Emergency Startup Media Creator supports creating WindowsPE startup disks starting from Windows 8.1. It's possible to create such disk from R-Studio Emergency Startup Media Creator on earlier Windows versions if you yourself correctly install a workable copy of WindowsPE Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK). Microsoft recommends Windows ADK from Windows 10 version 2004 (20H1) for versions prior to Windows 10.

You may create the R-Studio Emergency on a USB Activation Stick .
