You will need a USB flash drive with a capacity of 256 MB or more. The drive must be formatted in
FAT16 or FAT32 file system.

To create a bootable USB flash drive, attach the drive to a USB port. Start Acronis Media Builder and
then select the drive as the destination for the rescue media creation. Then follow the Media Builder
wizard steps.

If Acronis Media Builder does not recognize your USB flash drive, you can try using the procedure
described in an Acronis Knowledge Base article at http://kb.acronis.com/content/1526.
