Hi Xoben...
I trying to make an mult boot cd using Easy boot. (Windows XP SP2 Setup, Norton Ghost 8.2CE, Partition Magic 8, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server 8.0 and Some boot disks). All works fine, except Acronis True Image E.S. 8.0, that don´t work!
I have extracted a trimg.bif file using UltraISO 7.5ME from acronis working bootable cd-rom and use easy boot 5.0.5 to run trimg.bif but when i will try to test the burned disc Easy Boot menu works fine, but when i run Acronis command i get the error: INT13/42H READ ERROR (AX=01CD, DL=EF) BLOCK 000005CD
All other commands works fine (Windows XP SP2 Setup, Norton Ghost 8.2CE, Partition Magic 8, and many boot disks.
I have used the sugestions to create acronis trimg.bif file on the post: < http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin....1;t=294 >
How i can fix this problem?
Thanks, Regards.
Marcelo

Here is my current method using Floppy Images:

1) Start Acronis Media Builder and insert your first empty floppy. Let the media builder finish the first diskette and copy the files from the floppy drive to a temporary folder named SOURCE. The thing you will notice is that Windows still have those files in memory so there is no actual reading of the floppy! Ultra reliable and fast!
2) Do the same for the rest of the floppy required for you Acronis product.
3) Use EasyBoot to create a floppy image of the FIRST diskette
4) Use EasyBoot to create a floppy image to the size required by the number of diskettes and use the floppy image you created at step 3 as the SEED image.
5) Open this new oversized floppy image (empty) with WinImage
6) use the INJECT option and add all the files from the SOURCE folder
7) save

that's it! No more tampering with diskettes.

So far I've created all the floppy image for Disk Director Suite 9 and True Image 8 Corporate Workstation (total 6 images) without a hitch!

P.S. I think this technique will also work with any utility which create boot diskettes like Hard Disk Drive Diagnostic, etc...
