Win64 WinPE Rescue Media

Thread needs solution

I used the guide posted by Jan Buelens "Creating a bootable USB memory stick with Acronis TrueImage and Disk Director" to create a USB Stick that boots WinPE and allows use of True Image Home 11 and Disk Director Home 11. This works fine on most of my home PCs.

However I have a Samsung Slate PC and this requires a UEFI boot and will ONLY boot 64 bit. Fine I thought, I'll use the amd64 WinPE image stuff and it will all work.

I created the WinPE image OK and the slate will attempt to Boot from the stick (it ignored the 32 bit WinPE image completely).

However when it tries to start Windows it fails a black screen listing the "Snapman.sys" driver as corrupted or missing. I have subsequently mounted the image and checked that the "Snapman.sys" driver IS present in the image - along with the associated DLL etc.

I have installed the Acronis software on a 32-Bit version of Windows 7. Is this causing my problems? If I install the Acronis tools and M/S AIK on Win7-64 will I get the same problem? I suspect I will...
