How do I create a bootable ISO of a working E2B usb drive?
I've had many issues in the past with USB drives gone bad or gotten corrupt. In an effort to save me some headaches in the future, I want to create an ISO of my bootable E2B drive fully loaded with ISOs.
I'm not sure what I'm doing because I've never worked with an E2B drive in this way. That said...
I was in the middle of using ImgBurn when I came across the bootable disc info.
Am I doing this correctly, am I using the right thing, or can I do this at all?
(I can't get the image to appear and it has a working link)
An ISO must be in a specific format and you cannot capture a multiple partition drive in an ISO (easily).
Why not just make an image copy of the whole drive?
You can use RMPrepUSB.exe Drive>File and restore using the saved file and File>Drive.
Or use any disk backup program (there are many!) and just make a backup image of the USB drive.
If you want to replicate the image to multiple USB drives at the same time, then use the Passmark ImageUSB utility.
Thank you and you are absolutely right. I should have been thinking about the entire drive as a whole. I haven't had to deal with tech on this level for years. Windows 11 comes and now I find myself coming back to E2b (and RMPrep, thanks for the reminder!).
The TPM requirements for Windows 11 mean I have to get familiar with SecureBoot if I plan to be as flexible in my hardware use as I've been. This just means I'll be here a lot more (and probably many others).
Thank you very much for your help (and clearing the mental fog)!
