Recovery Media Builder
Recovery Media Builder is component program that is delivered with Backup and Recovery 2014 FREE. (can’t find RmB) After installing RmB you can run RmB Wizard from installation directory or from desktop shortcut.
Recovery media Builder provides creation of next recovery media platforms:
1) Microsoft Windows PE (Preinistallation Environment)
The WinPE recovery environment can be a real alternative to the Linux/DOS recovery environment. Providing nearly the same level of functionality it offers an excellent hardware support and the same interface as the Windows version does. It can be used to start a computer that has no operating system, to partition and to format hard drives, to copy disk images, and to initiate Windows Setup from a network share.
Using Recovery media Builder you can prepare WinPE on USB flash drive only.
Consider that WinPE is bootable both with 64- or 32- bit system (defines itself).
Proceeding you get
2) Linux recovery media platform.
The Linux/DOS recovery environment can be used to boot your computer into Linux or PTS DOS to get access to your hard disk for maintenance or recovery purposes. It also has the PTS DOS safe mode, which may help in a number of non- standard situations such as interfering hardware settings or serious problems on the hardware level. In this case, only basic files and drivers (such as hard disk drivers, a monitor driver, and a keyboard driver) will be loaded.
Using Recovery media Builder you can prepare Linux-based 64-bit (EFI) or 32-bit (BIOS) USB flash drive. As well it’s possible to create CDDVD media. Process of creating USB flash recovery media is the same as for WinPE platform but consider that using Linux you should first find out if your system is 32- or 64-bit.
To find this information use right click on “My Computer” icon on the Desktop, choose “Properties”. Under the «System» or «System Type»:
1. If you see “32” or there is no number of bits, then you use 32-bit operating system.
2. If you see “64” then you use 64-bit operating system.
In case with CDDVD recovery media you first are to create ISO image and save to your computer.
Next find ISO image in directory, use right click on created ISO file and select “Burn disc image”. Please make sure that you use right click on ISO file itself, not on the CD-ROM drive.
Burn to CDDVD.
3) Microsoft Windows PE (Preinistallation Environment) on CDDVD using Boot Media Builder.
Paragon Boot Media Builder™ is a wizard that helps you prepare a WinPE-based bootable environment on a CD/DVD/BD disc. As well you can prepare USB thumb drive or an ISO image format. This type of environment contains a set of utilities that corresponds to the purchased product, and allows startup of your computer for maintenance or recovery purposes when OS is corrupted or cannot be used.
A WinPE environment offers an excellent hardware support and the same interface as the Windows version does.

This guide provides information on how to download and install JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 on a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X system. Download information for the JavaFX Scene Builder samples is also included.
JavaFX Scene Builder is a design tool that enables you to drag and drop graphical user interface (GUI) components onto a JavaFX scene. It can help you to quickly prototype interactive applications that connect GUI components to the application logic. It automatically generates the FXML source code as you define the GUI layout for your application.
Use the following information to prepare your system for installing Scene Builder.
Ensure that your system meets the system requirements listed in the current JavaFX System Requirements
document listed on the JavaFX 2 Release Documentation page. JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1 release supports the same platforms that are listed inJavaFX Certified System Configurations
, including Linux and Mac OS X 10.8.
To successfully complete the JavaFX Scene Builder Getting Started
tutorial, it is highly recommended that you also install the following software. However, there are also instructions in the JavaFX Scene Builder Getting Started
tutorial that guide you to complete the sample application using only a standalone JavaFX Scene Builder tool and the ANT utility. You can also use the Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs
to get information about how to use other Java IDEs to create JavaFX projects and use Scene Builder to work on the FXML file for your application's GUI.
Latest NetBeans IDE 7.4 software to utilize the tight integration with JavaFX Scene Builder that allows you to easily create a new FXML file, edit it using JavaFX Scene Builder, modify and compile your Java controller source files, and run the sample application used in the tutorial. Download the NetBeans IDE 7.4 software from http://netbeans.org/downloads/
. For information about configuring NetBeans IDE to run with a specific JavaFX version, see Setting Up NetBeans IDE with JavaFX at http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/javafx-setup.html
.
The JavaFX Scene Builder is available as a Windows package (.msi) for the Windows platform, as a Debian package (.deb) or .tar.gz file for the Linux platform, and as a disk image (.dmg) for the Mac OS X platform.
To install:

- An introduction to the user interface and features of JavaFX Scene Builder 1.1
Getting Started with JavaFX Scene Builder
- A step-by-step tutorial for creating the FXML file that defines the user interface of a simple issue tracking application
Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs
- A tutorial that gives information about how to configure the NetBeans, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEs to use with Scene Builder
You can also view the Getting Started with JavaFX Scene Builder 1.0 video tutorial
, which shows the steps to create the same FXML file for the simple issue tracking application sample.
Download the JavaFX Scene Builder samples to see some applications you can build using the Scene Builder tool.
Go to the JavaFX Scene Builder Samples section of the download page at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html
Locate the JavaFX Scene Builder section, click the Samples link, and follow the prompts to save the javafx_scenebuilder_samples-1_1.zip
file to your local file system.
Extract the sample files from the zip file to a directory on your local file system.
Each sample is a NetBeans project and also includes at least one JavaFX layout stored as an FXML file. The <sample>.fxml file can be loaded and edited using the JavaFX Scene Builder.
To run the samples, you must have the JDK 7 software with JavaFX 2.2 support or JDK 6 plus JavaFX 2.2 installed on your system. Since the samples include the corresponding NetBeans projects files, using the NetBeans IDE is the simplest way to run the sample applications. However, you can also run them using the Ant utility, Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEA. See below for more information.
Use NetBeans 7.4 or later to run the JavaFX Scene Builder samples.
Go to the javafx_scenebuilder_samples-1_1-install directory in which you extracted the sample files.
Run a sample by opening the project in the NetBeans IDE, compiling it, and then running it. For example, to run the HelloWorld application, open the HelloWorld project in NetBeans IDE, right-click the project node in the Projects window, and select Run.
Source code for each sample is in the src folder for each NetBeans project.
Tip: If you encounter an error running the sample, check that the JavaFX Platform settings in NetBeans IDE are configured correctly. For information about configuring NetBeans IDE to run with a specific JavaFX version, see Setting Up NetBeans IDE With JavaFX at |
See Using JavaFX Scene Builder with Java IDEs
for information on how to run the samples in either the Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA environment.
If you choose not to run the samples in NetBeans or any other IDE, you can use the Apache Ant utility (version 1.8 or later) to build and run the sample application on the command line. Enter a command similar to that in Example 1. Note that the examples shown use JDK 7.
Example 1 Ant Command to Run the Sample Application
The main values for <TARGET> are clean, jar, and run. You can set <TARGET> with the value of -projecthelp to get a list of available targets. For example, to run the HelloWorld application on the Windows platform, type something similar to that in Example 2.
Example 2 Using Ant to Run the HelloWorld Sample on a Windows Platform
To run the HelloWorld application on a Mac OS X platform with Java SE 7 update 40 software installed, type the command shown in Example 3.
Example 3 Using Ant to Run the HelloWorld Sample on a Mac OS Platform
To uninstall JavaFX Scene Builder, use the standard uninstall process for your operating system.
