## Building Recovery Media

Recovery Media Builder can help you accomplish the following operations:

· Prepare the Linux/DOS recovery environment (included in the installation package) on external media (CD, DVD, or flash memory) to boot and run utilities under Linux or PTS DOS, and that way to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes (strongly recommended);

· Prepare a custom Linux/DOS recovery environment by adding any data you like to the standard image;

· Prepare a bootable recovery environment from any ISO image;

· Create from the master CD the Linux/DOS recovery environment on a CD/DVD disc, or flash memory.
