Acronis TI Build 3625

Hello,

I refer to the new ATI 9.0 Build 3625.

When I check the update page, I see one of the new features listed for the build is "WinPE based bootable ISO building new feature ".

Will someone please explain to this novice what "WinPE" is? Also, I use Nero (OEM) ver. 6.6.1.4. Is this ISO compatible? Or do I need to buy other software which is?

All help will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Diddlydumdum

 

WinPE means Windows Pre-installation Environment. WinPE is a CD based OS and you can boot from the CD and run Windows from the CD. The "WinPE based bootable ISO building new feature" is probably a Bart Plug-in. It creates a TrueImage Plug-in for WinPE so that when you boot the WinPE CD, you can run TrueImage from the CD instead of from the HD.

I am not an expert on it, maybe the Acronis support can jump in a have a more detailed explanation.

 

It means that TI will create a bootable CD that will boot into a windows environment - i.e. GUI like. PE = preinstalled environment. Similar to a Bart PE CD.

 

Thanks, Chubb and Chutsman. As I said, all information helps!

Win PE requires at least Win XP.
