So, I've built a Linux ISO image (based on RIP), and added tools and scripts. But I was upset as it's working in DOS mode (thus, I had to build bootable 3'5 disks with the right NIC DOS driver, burn them as DVD with disk emulation, etc.) And it required a Ghostcast server. I've been using Symantec Ghost a few times, with bootable DVDs and in a PXE environment as well. If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know. Hope this is helpful to everyone! I'm sure that you could emulate this with Norton Ghost if you've got that instead.

The XP CD that I used to install XP was 576MB, created with nLite, all hotfixes integrated and cab files set to high compression. The image created by Acronis came out to 458MB. I used Acronis True Image 8.0.912 and UltraISO 7.6.2 to follow the guide. All of my images were run from my 24x CD-RW/DVD drive, so there's no unfair advantage of being run from the hard drive.

I created a VM with a vanilla XP install to test all this out. Just drop it into the ISO and you're done. Obviously, if your image fits onto one CD/DVD, then great. This will easily fit on a single-layer DVD, and for those of us with more programs or files, there are always dual-layer DVDs. The image (max compression) took about 20 minutes to create and came out at 2.7GB. not 'small' by any means), my system partition on my laptop is just over 5GB (without pagefile or hibernation file - those are excluded by Acronis in the image). With all the programs that I use (Acrobat, Photoshop, Office, MathCad. I keep all my documents and files on other partitions, so my system drive contains only Windows and my programs. You do not need to worry about disabling your pagefile or the hibernation file (if you use them), as Acronis will automatically detect them and not include the data within them in the image. It would probably be best if you install all your core programs, configure them to your needs, and then follow the guide. Most games today are very large and would cause the image to be too large for even a dual-layer DVD. I would recommend uninstalling games before creating the image. When it asks for the last Volume, insert Disc0. Simply enter the CD/DVD with the corresponding image that it's asking for and click 'Retry'.

When Acronis needs the next volume, it will give you an error about opening the file.

Continue through the menus, until you get to press the Proceed Button.

When asked to select the Image Archive, browse to the CD/DVD drive and select BackupX.tib (X=some number).

Boot into Acronis True Image (full version).

Insert Disc 0 into your optical drive and set your BIOS to boot from this drive.

#Acronis boot cd not working archive#

I call the CD/DVD with the bootloader Disc0, and then each disc with the number of the archive file that's on it. Be sure to label them in the order that they have the image archives.

Burn all of the ISO files with your favorite CD burning program (or UltraISO).

iso file with the corresponding number of the. Repeat the above 3 steps, each time using a different Image archive file and saving to a new.

Drag the BackupX.tib file to the upper panel to add it to the image (where X is the highest number).

Right click on the Recovery Manager folder and select Hide/Unhide.

Insert blank CD-R/RW (do not remove after CD is created)

Click on Create Bootable Rescue Media.

Grab a cup of coffee or a beer or something.

At the Image Archiving Splitting screen, select Fixed Size.

Acronis will complain that it's not safe. Select Maximum Compression to ensure that the image fits on the disc.

Create image of the partition you want to back up (most likely your system partition) and save it to a location on your hard drive.

Some blank media (CD-RW, DVD-RW recommended).

Free space on your hard drive equal in size to your hard drive image.

#Acronis boot cd not working software#

CD/DVD Burning software (if your image editing software doesn't support burning).UltraISO (Or other image editing software).If you're going to use DVD-R's, follow the green text. If you are going to be creating your backup image on CD-R's, follow the blue text. That way, if I had to replace the hard drive in my computer, I could simply pop in the CD/DVD and be back to everything exactly the way I wanted it.

I wanted a bootable CD/DVD with the image of my hard drive on it. Acronis has the ability to write the image to a CD/DVD if you have UDF packet writing support (Nero InCD or the like). I was digging around on the Acronis website and couldn't find what I wanted.
