I have some good and bad news...
My friend give me his boot menu cd.
I've extracted all directory Ezboot and substitute my one with this ol one.
So i have easyboot v.6 but dir ezboot made with v.5
I've build iso........remember, using bootinfotable for .bif...
ALL RUN OK.
well....i opened the menu acronis.ezb, i've made a modify and annulled, after this i've saved the menu, so it has new version.
(old ezb file was about 24kb, this new one is about 38kb, without modify ANYTHING).
I've build again iso....
now i get again error -- boot image file is too large --
so, problem is in file ezb.
what can i do?

To clear things out...
Did you or did you not reinstall EasyBoot 
Tip: you can download latest version of EasyBoot and simply install it right over existing EasyBoot 
But anyway, as you run Easyboot_v6 I insist you try with : bcdw acronis.iso
However also: run acronis.iso shouldn't be any problem
And only checking 'Joliet' when creating ISO
-----------------------------
Note: latest EasyBoot is much more powerful than EasyBoot_v5 (but latest UltraIso must also be installed as well).
You can very easy test run your acronis ISO-files from a USB stick and in that way run in 'real' test if it works.
However if you have a CD-RW to test with (if still using them) that's okay as well.
Please notice this; You cannot be sure Virtual PC is testing your build correctly 
Instead download free qemu-tester HERE
Extract to the root C:\
Launch program and you choose 'Run the LivCD'
Note: you don't need to '....create hard disk image for your virtual machine' when program asks you - always choose NO when question pops up

Ok....
i don't know why you insist with iso.
for me bif are more important than iso. i have bif but i can't recreate iso.
now i see version of my easyboot (shareware)
6.5.2.693
i've downloaded it again and now there is a little difference
6.5.2.695
well........with old one, launching bif i get error - boot image file is too large..
now, with the new one, bif DOESN'T start anymore!!! no error messages!!
are you happy?
every new version of this program is more bad than the previous.
and i deleted the old one, so i can't do anything.....
so, i think this program is not for me.

NO I'm not happy as you have missed the whole point here and I quote: "i can't recreate iso"
Acronis software can create a 'rescue ISO'.
It is this ISO-file we are interested in
Simply create “rescue ISO-file” using Acronis “Bootable Rescue Media Builder” (you have this option in Acronis)
Or why not download rescue-iso-files from Internet
Try search words like this: rapidshare Trueimage OR rapidshare Trueimage rescue iso
If you are lucky you find something - so you don't even need to create rescue-iso (though this looks as a better option)
Then copy 'rescue-ISO' to folder EZBOOT and use 'bcdw acronis.iso' (or whatever name you use to ISO)
------------------------
EDIT:
For a couple of minutes ago I downloaded Acronis_Disk_Director_Home_11.0.216
I installed the program and....
Launch acronis software and choose 'Tools>>Acronis Bootable Media Builder' and choose to create an ISO-file
Use that rescue-ISO-file as I already described (run acronis.iso)
Is this a problem

My bif files are very old, is extremely difficult to find these programs now.
And i need old programs for old computers.
I need Acronis true image enterprise server 9, disk director server 8...
It's impossible to find...
Old computers requires old acronis and old boot menu, starting bif not iso.
These are words of my friend.
Now i have 5 bif files, and i need to use them as i have easyboot 5.
Using easyboot 6, they doesn't works.
This is the real problem.
Starting acronis 11 with iso in new computers is much simple....
I had my first home computer in late 1982, i've tryied more and more programs. After Powerquest partition magic, acronis is the best format tool.
ok...let's start again...
why i have this problem with bif file?
why only with easyboot 6?
why easyboot 5 runs perfectly bif file?
Tell me, please.
And don't speak about iso. i don't need iso.
solve this mystere and i will buy this program.

I searched for 'Acronis_True_Image_Enterprise_Server_9' and it took me 5 seconds to find a download 
By installing this program I can take advantages of the Media Builder in acronis 
But the 'Disk_Director-Server_8' is not that easy to find
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure 'Disk_Director-Server_10' is close the same and can easy be found.
And 'Disk_Director-Server_10' is easy to create ISO and use menu command: run ***.iso or bcdw ***.iso)
--------------------------------
Quote: "why easyboot 5 runs perfectly bif file?"
I cannot give you any straight answer why 'bootinfotable;run ***.bif' seems to fail launching your acronis software in Easyboot_v6
I have no clue as this goes back 7 years ago.
In those 'old days' we instead used Acronis Media Builder and created a large floppy image and simply launched that image (run ***.img)
Quote: "And don't speak about iso. i don't need iso"
Then follow this 'old' method in post nr; 2 HERE
Note: you still need to use built-in Rescue Media Builder to create floppy images and of course a working floppy installed to your computer as well
Newer acronis software doesn't have this floppy image stuff any more - it only uses ISO-files

hello balder , franziscko
First of all , for running Acronis tutorial , balder is the best. As I also run Acronis in balder's way .... in post number 6 :
1. Copy acronis.iso (or several ISO-files with different names) to folder EZBOOT
2. Use menu command in EasyBoot menu: run acronis.iso
Now I use Easyboot 6.5 new version. In the old days I use Easyboot 5 :
1. Copy acronis.iso to C:\EasyBoot\disk1\ISO and acronis.img.gz to C:\EasyBoot\disk1\EZBOOT
2. User menu command : memdisk acronis.img.gz (it's a very old method and I've forgot have to make it again)
It runs ok. So the old way with Easyboot 5 and the new method with Easyboot 6.5 are also work.
As a computer repairer , I work with Acronis TrueImage 2010 , 2011 , 2012 and Acronis Disk Director Suite 11 everyday. For my experience , Acronis products can work on most computers (over 90% of any computer). And I agree on some computers Acronis even can't boot properly especially on Factory Desktop Computers , I think it's their BIOS problem. For the Factory Desktop Computers , if you insert a usb stick , it boots and hang up in the Factory Logo screen. If you unplay that usb stick and boot again , it becomes normal. Very strange !! And some computers if not hang up in the Factory Logo screen , still Acronis boot failure !!
As far as I know , Acronis boots perfect on new and old computers but not for all. If you say your friend can boot Acronis on every or any computer , try to ask him more about the failure experience. I'm sure he must have some encounters.
I'm here just want to share my experience and not a tutorial. Thanks for everybody.

As long as this discussion has its 'up and downs' - you have never explained how your build (the 'old' way
) is exactly created
My guess is that you have a ***-bif-file that is something around 20 to 40 MB in size - is this correct?
You are trying to launch this ***.bif-file using menu command: bootinfotable:run ***.bif
Is this an correct description what you are doing?
Can you please upload ***.bif-file to rapidshare (or whatever) so I can take a closer look into file
Use 'messenger' in the upper right corner and put in balder as the member to send download link to.
I can do some test as I still have an 14 year old 'Amada-note-book' (very rare to find these days) and also a 12 year old Hewlett Packard work-station - if I kick on computer it mostly get up and run 
If I'm able to launch your ***.bif from these computers - it shouldn't be any problem to the ones you are interested in
