-====Disk Creation====
+=====Disk Creation=====
+Before you launch Boot Media Builder please make sure you’ve got either Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) or OEM Preinstallation Kit (OPK) installed in your system. Otherwise, you won’t be able to accomplish the operation.
+Launch the Paragon Boot Media Builder:
+**Start -> Programs -> Paragon Software -> Boot Media Builder**
+  - The welcome page introduces the wizard’s functionality.
+  - Please click Next.
+  - Select USB Flash.
+  - Choose to create an ISO image that can be burned to CD/DVD
+  - Select "Create a new bootable media"
+The BMB will then detect your installation of WAIK or OEM Preinstallation Kit in their default location and if not has a button to download it.  The process will not continue unless one is installed.
+The next couple steps are to inject drivers for storage or NIC and setup connecting to a network and mapping network drives.
+For a generic disk choose:
+  * No network support
+  * Do not mount a backup storage
+  * Skip the adding of NIC drivers
+It will take a few minutes to create the ISO.  You can then burn to CD/DVD and boot a non booting PC to manage the hard drive/backups etc.
