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.

Acronis write his emergency-data to any removable device. I use my usb-stick to let acronis write his data , and put this data via winimage in the 11 mb DOS-image from here.At the last i must replace the bootimage whit this from the acro5670.ima from here.it works.
Hope, i can help

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?

Please help me!

yep, that image is too small for the current trueimage 7.0.Follow my steps in this thread - that will solve your problem:

I have the same problrm - after timage5 it says that there is no space for timage6I use UltraIso 7 ME
I don't have a flash-stick, so I can't follow your steps
How do I enlarge image size or where can I download the complete image timage7 ?
or maybe someone could send me the solution (boobamik@mail.ru)

You can create a large image up to 46.08MB this way:1) Click 'Tools'->'Create New Image' on EasyBoot's main page
2) Use acroseed.img as seed image, and set the filename and size of target image
3) Click 'Create'
4) Add files to the newly created image by UltraISO or WinImage

The instructions don't work, it appears to be a hoax!

It does work even on the new disk director suite and you don't even need yo use the old acronis seed disk you can make your own you just need to use mediabuilder on the first disk. read this hope it helps.1 download cenatek Ramdisknt
2 Install Ramdisknt
3 Open Cenatek ramdisknt
4 In Disk Type, Select 1.44MB Floppy
5 Drive letter B or any drive that you are not using
6 click START button (minimize ramdisknt)
7 Start the acronis product
8 choose full version
9 Select the ramdisk drive (for example)
10 Click next
11 When acronis wizzard indicates Proceed, maximize ramdisknt
13 click STOP Button
14 in Disk Type, select Hard Disk
15 click START button (minimize ramdisknt)
16 In acronis wizard select proceed buton
Thats all you have a IMA FILE that you can use with BCDW and Boot Scriptor
========================================================
The way to do TI7 is to use TrueImage mediabuilder twice: first time around, select floppy disks, but only copy the first one of six. Use EasyBoot 4.55 or 4.56 to read the disk1 image and increase its size to at least 8,640KB (Tools>Create new image). This will give you a seed image with the capacity you need, but maintain the MBR, which Acronis checks.
Second go; use a USB stick, or other larger removable media and create the 7.33+ MB bootable image in one go. Now use Winimage to inject all of the newly-created files into your seed floppy image - call it ti7.wbt or something similar.
2. Disk Director does run all tools from a unified front end. The image can be made exactly as described above, but be aware that it requires 15.7MB of space, so a 16MB USB drive is not big enough; you need at least 32. Works great in multiboot and means that I can remove 3 other boot options.
