No, unfortunately this is not possible. You have to do all this manually.

No the USB is allways plugged in. So if I set in BIOS the first boot device = USB then R-Drive recue would allways boot. If I set the HD the rescue would never boot.

I'd like it like windows CD, when it is inside it asks if I want to boot from it and if I click keyboard it boots from CD else it continues booting the windows after some 30 seconds. Is it possible to do the same with R-Drive rescue disc?

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you're going to do. You have a very remote computer and you need to start it from the USB drive you have it with you? Or there's someone over there who can put the USB drive and start the remote computer?

Thank you very much, I didn't know R-Drive is so inteligent to look on USB if there is something on it. I had to reformat it but not to NTFS but FAT32 and then it recognised it and made files there, I guess it will work now when booted if needed.

Can the startup be made so I need to press a key to boot it else it continues loading windows? I can not put USB in the machine as it is in another country (remote computer) ;-)

I have formatted my 16 GB USB key to blank with NTSC filesystem, but it is still not recognised by the startup discs creator. Should I format it with FAT32?

This is the problem. This disk is a startup one, and you can't have two startup disks on one USB drive. Moreover, you can't simply delete this disk, you have to format the drive in order to create a resque disk from R-Drive Image.

Not empty, paragon Drive Image rescue disc is on it, but it still have more than 14 GB free, I can format it.

Thw R-Drive image disc shows this USB as disk drive if I want to create an image. So I can create an image of it. But I'd like to create rescue (startup) discs, and the only option there is to make ISO file, the USB flash does not show as media that I can make startup disc on it.

And another question: is this 16 GB disk empty? If not, how much free space is on it?

OK, now it's clear. Does any other USB disk appear in that list of startup disk? You don't have to create anything from that, just check if it appears.
