Boot Media Builder, created *.iso not compatible with USB 3.0 flash drives.
Good day, I know that there is way to make bootable USB Flash directly but then I won't have *.iso file, but i need this file.
So I created *.iso file (with both programs Disk Director x32 and x64, and True Image) and tried to write it on my two USB drives using UltraISO:
Transcend JetFlash 760 32GB USB 3.0 (model: TS32GJF760)
Transcend JetFlash 780 32GB USB 3.0 (model:TS32GJF780)
and I got these errors on both:

These JetFlash drives are fine because Paragon and Windows 7 booting fine from them. After that I took from my friend two USB drives 2GB and 1GB (old USB 2.0 both) and same *.iso file after writing with UltraISO v9.6.1.3016 booting fine. So I thing that Boot media Builder can't make *iso file for USB 3.0 flash drives and it is very uncomfortable because to make USB botable Flash Drive I need to install both Disk Director and True Image, instead of using simple UltraISO to burn an *.so file. Here setting that I used:

So please can you fix this in future versions of Boot media builder? I also tried both media builders in Disk Director v12.0.3223 and in True image 17.0.6673 and same problem in both of them.

UltraISO is very small, simple and powerful tool. Windows 7, 8, 8.1 can be easily burned on USB with it and it is very comfortable. Now to make Acronis USB Flash I need to install Disk Director and True Image both, it is very not comfortable. Instead of it I prefer to instal small UltraISO and simply burn *.iso files to USB Flash drives. So if you can ask development team for me :) it will be briliant thank you Anna.

Today I tried to create bootable *.iso in boot media builder of Disk Director v12.0.3223 that will based on WinPE 3.0 (windows 7) and I found that such *.iso file is compatible with CD and USB, but, there is no way to choose what programs I want to put in *.iso. For example I need both Disk Director and True Image to be in *.iso file so there is no option to make such choice. In my case I got only Disk Director. Also I saw that WinPE based *.iso loading command line and after that Disk Director, so if you gonna tell about it to development team ask them to make some sort of loading menu, like in Linux based *.iso, where I can choose what to load Disk Director or True Image, but not both because I know that WinPE can load more that one program. And can you tell me please what development team think about all that I am writing here and in the first post too.

Adrian,
I find RMPREPUSB using their new Easy2Boot program works fine with Acronis ISOs. However, it won't boot a system that uses W8.1 UEFI OEM systems. There is a work around for OEM installed UEFI systems, you must first use the Windows Recovery process to prepare the USB stick, this will copy the correct certificate for your system (note: it won't work on someone elses W8.1 OEM UEFI PC). Do not allow Windows to copy the recovery files from your system, so untick this option. Once your system has finished preparing the USB stick, replace the MS WIM file on the stick with your Acronis WinPE4.0 WIM renaming it to boot.WIM as per the old file you deleted from your stick.
Your PC will now boot from the USB stick and start DD12 in Windows mode.

For me the only one problem is that Acronis boot media builder can't make comfortable *.iso files based on WinPE (3.0 or 4.0 or 5.0) with this things:
1. Loading menu like in linux based version, that will allow me to choose what I want to load Disk Director or True Image or something else. Without loading menu WinPE will load everything that you will put on it.
2. Will be very comfortable to have opportunity, when I creating *.iso file with boot media builder, to choose what programs I want to have in *.iso file.
If these two thing will be made in near future so Acronis will rise it's positions on the market, because other competitors like Paragon and Active Boot Disk Suit already can do all that I just wrote here.

Microsoft did great job by making Windows AIK and Windows ADK, I thing that all companies such as Acronis, Paragon and other that making software for repairing and backups need to use these tool to make more better and comfortable software.
