I hope I've made my dilemna clear - I am able to run the Universal Restore and point it to the hardware drivers for the Optiplex 3040 (obtained as a driver pack from Dell for Windows 7 X64), and it seems like it works correctly. DELL WinPE - CAB Availability (follow the links for CAB details and to download) WinPE version When asked for drivers in the UR WinPE media builder, inject the Dell WinPE Driver pack for the version of ADK installed on the system and be sure to only include the ones for the PE architeture (32-bit or 64-bit) that you're building since the Dell WinPE driver.cab packs include both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers. It's not needed as you can build UR WinPE media directly in the UR media builder tool (see screenshots).įrom there, you build the WinPE with the version of ADK already installed on the machine (the newer, the better - Windis ideal).

Tthe MVP PE builder is great for building the standard Acronis bootable rescue media, but does not include UR WinPE media. HOWEVEr, if drivers are lacking in the default Linux media, WinPE is the way to go as you can add your own drivers in there and the newer versions of the Windows ADK are likely to have better "out of the box" driver support. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\UniversalRestore\UniversalRestore.exe The Linux version, let's you pick which componentes of Acornis to include in the bootable media. However, that is an easy way to get all of the Linux components on the same drive as your backups.Īlternatively, you can do this with the Linux option of the Universal Restore Media builder as well. The screenshots in the second item above from Steve, only build Linux bootable media, so won't help with the creation of WinPE.
