Thanks Brian. I use a Ventory SSD or HDD (from old laptops) for backing up using WinPE and partition the disk for 20% Ventoy and 80% Data (using the "Partition Configuration" menu item of Ventoy). In the case of a 1TB HD, you will have a 200GB ISO partion for Ventoy and 800GB for Data. I then BitLockerToGo the 800GB partition in Windows . This way you can perform backups directly to the encrypted partition. If you lose the drive, the data backups will be secure.

Nothing beats Hiren's Boot CD 15.2

Nice one Brian I shall have to watch a few times to get the drive made but it is certainly helpful to have to see that the drive is bootable. I already have the paid for AOMEI software which I use for backups as I find the Macrium backup very convoluted to use. It will also supplement the tools on a USB stick that you gave us the other day with various tools on it too😀

Cheers buddy! Great as always!!

Your videos are always helpful

Superb video. I didn't know about the AOMEI WinPE Builder. Looks like just what I need when servicing PCs. Thanks for the great info.

A great setup for a USB to assist when having issues, a really helpful video. Thank You

Thanks for this video👍

Aomie's Partition assistant is great, used it for resizing and merging partitions that windows disk management refused to do!

Great video Brian. WinPE’s are very useful and should be a must have tool for every engineer/technician.

Sorry, was on a bit of a hyper lol

I use some old 32 bit "Zorin" Linux install on external disk and Clonezilla (disk and partition copy) for similar stuff. I felt for making a WinPE as well when watching.

First thank you for posting this. I've created a recovery USB using your directions, however, subsequently determined the C drive on the target machine is Bitlocker encrypted and inaccessible. Is there any capability of the USB drive to unlock Bitlocker encrypted drives (eg: using the 48 character encryption key)? I can find no options to do so and obviously this drive encryption is pretty common presently.

Great video, thanks Brian. How about a series of videos going through the use of some of the tools?

You had me at "Rufus" haha

I havent really used winpe for this. Normally i use linux tools such as partimage and i believe its called chntpass.

Is this tool able to do backup on a bitlocker drive? Greetings from Colombia.

i use it with ventoy tools. with 1 usb i got multi boot option (win 7 8 10 11 + ampee too). with me it better than refus so much, don't need format usb many times, just copy iso to usb and delete if u don't need it anymore.

@Britec09

That is correct, you can drop this iso into ventoy

it would also be nice if i could intergrate passcape rwp as that is a more advanced password recover option obviously i could just make a custom multi boot iso

Hirens Boot CD is a better Option it has a tone of tools including password recovery and Data recovery saves the time building custom portable apps i might give this a go has it looks like it runs of windows 11 so will give a go at making a custom build with the tools i use

Been using AOMEI for years and with the low price of 128 gig SSD's I quit buying USB flash drives as it only takes an adapter and the speed difference is amazing, not to mention what can be done with the extra space...

Even more you can make a clone of "C" drive and keep it for emergency situations, by using dual booting and bcd or by change the effected drive with it`s clone if you have hardware limitations (i.e. laptop with one drive bay). An other solution is the "Windows to go" facillity with which you can make a bootable USB drive wich can work on any machine which has avaliable a USB connector!!!!!

Love your content, you’ve taught me a lot. But I notice you often rely on third party tools, like in this video you mention a few. I recently set up file backup, system image and USB recovery tool only using W10. I had to erase some system partitions which I had to do in powershell but it worked out fine. Isn’t there a benefit in not having too many tools downloaded for security, simplicity etc - even if it means slightly less convenience?
