Paragon Backup and Restore WinPE Boot Disk

This boot disk will give you the ability to boot to a disk and work with an operating system that will not boot. It has partitioning tools and a wizard to move a Windows installation to different hardware.

Necessary Software

To create a bootable disk that will run a full installation of Paragon Backup and Recovery with all of it's tools you first need to download and install the WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit).

WAIK is a Microsoft’s proprietary tool and can be obtained from its Download Center for free. Please note that you need a genuine Windows installation to be able to download this tool.

Then you will need to install the Paragon BMB (Boot Media Builder). This application is part of the purchase of Paragon software and requires a registration and license code.

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 BMB from the Program Menu under Paragon.
