1) download a sample image from http://www.ezbsys.com/download/acroseed.zip , extract 'acroseed.img' from it and rename to 'timage7.img'
2) Make a temporary folder such as 'c:\temp', open the 5 floppy images created by Acronis, using WinImage or UltraISO to extract all files to 'c:\temp'
3) Open 'timage7.img' by WinImage, and add five files named 'c:\temp\timage1.bin' , 'c:\temp\timage2.bin' ..., 'c:\temp\timage5.bin'.
Then, you can use timage7.img in menu command.

Absolutely amazing!!!
Thanks for your help with this. I'm traveling out of town today, but I'm taking my notebook PC with me so I can try this tonight.
BTW, I simply love this product. I have a DVD now with Windows XP Pro Retail and Volume License, Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server and Pro, Windows Server 2003, all 5 versions in both Retail and Volume License editions.
I especially love how the program optimizes all the files that are duplicates and stores them only once on the disc.
Thanks again for your outstanding help!
BTW, I'm just curious about how you create these seed images. Is there any sort of public utility that can help to create these? I plan on using EasyBoot a lot and I have a deeling I'll run into other applications that could benefit from creation of a proper seed image.

Ups, sorry
This method was for True Image 6. But the variant to let Acronis write his data to usb-stick works. Then i must only the timage1.bin (one big file) transfer in the acroseed.img from top of this topic.

Seed image is always created by native systems, and EasyBoot has the power to enlarge the image size and to keep the boot sector information correctly.
Acroseed.img mentioned above is created by EasyBoot 4.55, use floppy #1 of TrueImage 6 as seed image. Boot sector of TrueImage 7 does CRC check for MBR, but version 6 does not, that's why it works now.

Thanks for the information. I posted another question regarding the seed image before I saw this post. Sorry for the duplication.
Thanks again for your help.

I used the USB-Stick method to get Acronis PartitionExpert2003, TrueImage7 and Recovery Export on my bootdisk. Everything works fine so far - but I have trouble to boot Acronis OS Selector 8 when I use the same way I did with the 3 tool above.
I used the acroseed.img, changed the the .bin file and changed the filename in BOOTWIZ.CFG. When I try to boot OS Selector - it goes in some kind of endless loop.
The original bootwiz.cfg from oss is:
[BootMgr]
AUTOMATIC ON
QUIET ON
[OS Selector]
ECHO Installationsassistent wird gestartet...
RUN splash.run
RUN ramdisk.exe /d oss
VGA VESA
RUN y:\mouse.com
RUN y:\oss_inst.exe
RESTART
and I use the patched file like this:
[BootMgr]
AUTOMATIC ON
QUIET ON
[TrueImage]
ECHO Installationsassistent wird gestartet...
RUN splash.run
RUN ramdisk.exe /d oss.bin
VGA VESA
MBRCRCS ON
INITRD y:\ramdisk.dat /S
KERNEL y:\kernel.dat quiet
has anyone an Idea how to make the configuration for OS Selector?
