5.7.2 How to create rescue CD
To launch the ESET SysRescue wizard, click Start > Programs > ESET > ESET Smart Security > ESET SysRescue.
First, the wizard checks for the presence of Windows AIK or ADK and a suitable device for the boot media creation.
If Windows AIK or ADK is not installed on the computer (or it is either corrupt or installed incorrectly), the wizard
will offer you the option to install it, or to enter the path to your Windows AIK or ADK folder (http://go.eset.eu/AIK,
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652).
NOTE: Since Windows AIK is over 1 GB in size, a high-speed internet connection is required to download.
When installing Windows ADK choose only packages Deployment Tools and Windows Preinstallation Enviroment
(Windows PE) to install. Since these packages over 3.0 GB in size, a high-speed internet connection is required to
download.
In the next step, select the target media where ESET SysRescue will be located.
5.7.3 Target selection
In addition to CD/DVD/USB, you can choose to save ESET SysRescue in an ISO file. Later on, you can burn the ISO
image to a CD/DVD, or use it some other way (e.g. in a virtual environment such as VMware or VirtualBox).
If you select USB as the target medium, booting may not work on certain computers. Some BIOS versions may report
problems with the BIOS - boot manager communication (e.g. on Windows Vista) and booting exits with the
following error message:
file : \boot\bcd
status : 0xc000000e
info : an error occurred while attemping to read the boot configuration data
If you encounter this message, we recommend selecting CD instead of USB medium.
5.7.4 Settings
Before initiating ESET SysRescue creation, the install wizard displays compilation parameters. These can be
modified by clicking the Change... button. The available options include:
Folders
ESET Antivirus
Advanced
Internet protocol
Bootable USB device (when the target USB device is selected)
Burning (when the target CD/DVD drive is selected)
The Create option is inactive if no MSI installation package is specified, or if no ESET Security solution is installed on
the computer. To select an installation package, click Change and click the ESET Antivirus tab. Also, if you do not fill
in username and password (Change > ESET Antivirus), the Create option is greyed out.
