Precautions

• To create USB boot media, please make sure 4GB or more space is available in the USB device.
  If a USB HDD/SSD is selected as the target device, the boot area is contained in the first 1.5GB, and the rest is reserved as data storage space.

• USB boot media does not support BIOS boot.

• Built-in device drivers must support Windows OS and Windows PE-based OS versions to create the boot environment.

  • When creating the boot environment using Windows RE, the device driver must support the Windows OS version on which the boot environment is created.
