Hi, i'm trying EasyBoot, i like it!!
I use XP SP3 in a P4 3ghz, no overclock.
I have a strange problem with Acronis (diskdir & Trueimage).
If i try to load a bif file, i get this dos message:
---boot image file is too large---
(in every pc)
(using bootinfotable; run image.bif)
If i try to load a iso file, in virtual pc i get:
--acronis loader--- but program doesn't start,
in my P4 works ok, in another pc, a HP Notebook,
it doesn't start, like virtualpc.
I get no errors loading .img files everywhere.
What can i do?
Thanks

First of all, welcome to this forum @franziscko

I'm unsure what method you used to launch ISO-file 
Anyway... Standard procedure is to copy the whole acronis.iso-file to folder EZBOOT and use menu command: run acronis.iso ('run diskdir' and 'run Trueimage')
Attention! This way of launching Acronis.iso can only be used to EasyBoot_v6 or later!
You are highly recommended to update EasyBoot to latest version including updating latest version of UltraIso as well 
Note: Only check 'Joliet' when creating ISO in EasyBoot 
Test and see if it works better
Make also sure to allocate at least 500MB RAM in settings to 'Virtual PC' to make sure it is working properly

Thank you...
i launch iso with run name.iso....
i use virtualpc only to test final image before burning.
i've tried with and without joliet...
i repair pc and big problem seems some pc are ok and some pc not,
but i don't understand why....
if there is something bad in the final image, it must be with error in ALL
pc....
a friend give me some acronis .bif, he used a old version of easyboot.
maybe the program is corrupted?
is there another way to run bif instead of bootinfotable?
for me are more important bif then new iso...

Hmm... I would not bet about it - some notebooks can be recalcitrant in there behaviour
Acronis on the other hand is known for its 'smooth behaviours'

You can test menu command: bcdw /ezboot/acronis.iso
Read post nr; 2 HERE
Note1: check that you have file 'bcdw' in folder ezboot
Note2: bcdw-command can not be used from USB - only from CD\dvd-unit
-----------------------------

Yes this could be the case - it's no harm to reinstalling EasyBoot to fresh up files and also test another acronis.iso-file(s)

NO I did not make any mistake
Please follow my simple tutorial:
1. Copy acronis.iso (or several ISO-files with different names) to folder EZBOOT
2. Use menu command in EasyBoot menu: run acronis.iso
3. You may check 'Joliet' as a precaution for the whole build
DO NOT extract anything anywhere, just copy ISO(s) to folder EZBOOT and follow tutorial above
But check that you have a file 'bcdw' (40kb) in folder EZBOOT

oh Balder!!! you made a mistake because my question was:
"is there another way to run bif instead of bootinfotable?"
i have more bif and only 2 iso, and i need bif more than iso.
because my friend uses only bif with a version 5 and his cd
run everywhere, always.
thanks

Yes that is why I recommended method in post nr; 4
But I didn't have any clue your friend run EasyBoot_v5
Why using that version
As far as I know upgrades are free
So go ahead and upgrade to latest version with better support etcetera...

Read post nr; 4 HERE and then jump to post nr; 17
Optionally... You can also send your bcdw-file you have in folder EZBOOT to your friend and your friend copies bcdw to folder EZBOOT in that computer!
Followed by your friend test my suggestion: bcdw acronis.iso

Your recommended method in post 4 is to load iso, NOT bif!!!
(i want to know if there is another command that substitute bootinfotable, only for bif!)
I'm sorry, i think my English is very bad...
My problem isn't for iso files.
I want to run acronis bif files, because my friend doesn't have relative isos.
If i get error loading a iso, it's not important in old computers, because i have the bif.
But in all computers i can't load BIF files with easyboot v.6
my friend use v.5, he don't want iso, only BIF and v.5 runs ok BIF in all computer.
so, the question is:
why v.6 run acronis iso in some pc and NOT run bif in all pc?
why v.5 run every bif in every pc?
(not important v.5 not run iso...)
i hope you can understand me...

No it is working fully okay
However as far as I understand you are run EasyBoot_v6 and having some problem if using ISO-file (not extracting anything)
But your friend is run EasyBoot_v5 and use 'bootinfotable;run ***.bif' and it work to all computers
You have a summary of common commands used in EasyBoot HERE
However updated EasyBoot works slightly different but over all given menu command can still be used.
And menu command; bootinfotable;run ***.bif' is still in full operate
l find it strange that acronis cannot run from ISO-file to some odd computer
You can test the 'last resort' - and that is to integrate ISO-file(s) using my script 'easyboot-iso.script'
Check 'Run ISO From RAM' in script.
Note: You have download below.
Read carefully 'READ_ME.html' in folder 'balder' before you start using script.
