Creating a recovery medium

To recover a system that can no longer be booted, you need bootable recovery media (or a recovery CD) to boot the system.

You only need one recovery medium for your system environment, because the individual recovery file is copied to another USB stick.

Before you start the wizard, make sure you meet the following requirements:

  • You have administrative privileges on your computer to install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) (if not already installed).

    The ADK must be installed in order to create a recovery image with the Windows PE Recovery Wizard.

  • The latest DriveLock Management Console is installed on your computer.

  • A USB stick (min. 1GB) or a writable CD for the Windows PE recovery medium is ready.
