Unable to create bootable Winpe-Based rescue media
I am trying to clone UEFI SSD RAID array to UEFI PCIe NVMe RAID Array. I have Windows 10 64bit currently installed on 4 SSDs On MSI Z170A M5 Motherboard. I have installed two Intel 600p 512GB M.2 NVMe drives in RAID0. I can veiw this array from Windows 10 disk manager with latest Intel IRST drivers installed.
I tried Acronis 2015 clone disk booted UEFI it did not recognize NVMe RAID array. No surpise, I need latest Intel driver to see NVMe drive. So I buy upgrade Acronis 2017 for option to create Winpe-Based rescue media, add Intel RAID storage drivers/Asmedia USB drivers and I follow inconsistent directions provided by Acronis to create ISO, ie, Oscdimg commands to create ISO are only for AIK not ADK. I make changes to commands so it finds the files where there are located for winpe 10 ADK. I use command to copy Acronis wim to winpe boot.wim location. Directions do not say to what to choose "Yes/No/All" I assume Yes. Finally I have 460MB winpe_x64.iso. burn it to disk. Disk will not boot and is not bootable. Tried ISO2Disk to put on USB stick. Not bootable. Tried enabling legacy boot, still not bootable. This is supposed to be bootable from legacy and UEFI based on directions provided. Tried three times from beginning to end with same results. Please update your included directions for accuracy and provide me with the acurate directions I need to follow to complete this task.
Thanks

I think Mustang's link is missing from the post. If you didn't find it in the sticky already, here it is again (just in case).

Greatly Appreciated!
I read the sticky just after I posted and gave it a shot.
I'm posting now from the NVMe Array with all my files intact and looking at a very empty, uncluttered case. I did use Rufus2.4 to burn the resulting ISO to USB for UEFI only for this task. Will try other options later. Backing up to WHS2011 nightly as a rule but will create additional backups with Acronis. WHS can be pretty finicky sometimes about client restores and may or may not work with NVMe storage.
Thank you all who worked and continue to work on this valuable tool.

Excellent - that's why we built it - just want to help simplify the process. Just curious, but did you use the basic or advanced mode? Give the advanced one a shot next time (it's just as easy to use, but has more options and more goodies to use in the resulting WinPE that's created).
Also, you don't have to build the .iso and burn with rufus (unless you don't want to). As long as your USB flash drive is already connected to the PC when the media builder launches (and if it's formatted FAT32 - which is a requirement of the Acronis Media builder), you should be able to burn it straight to the flash drive.
Just FYI info... unfortunately (but perhaps a good thing for some), the Acronis media builder no longer completely formats the drive as the first step. That has left some usb flash drives unbootable after the media creation as it leaves the existing "sysvol" parition in place and may not be bootable already (or not compatible). Should that occur at some point, you may have to do a full format on the flash drive in advance using Windows or a third party tool.
