Here is my method using a CD-ROM
1) Start Acronis Media Builder and make a True Image CD. 2) Start UltraISO and extract the Boot Image File (.BIF) with the option Extract boot file from CD/DVD... under the Bootable menu. 3) Now you can run this .BIF with EasyBoot using this command: BOOTINFOTABLE;RUN XXX.BIF
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 your 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 8) Now you can run this .IMG with EasyBoot using the following command: RUN XXX.IMG
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...

Hello kraker, please make sure that the .bif or .img file is in c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot folder.

I found a way to LOAD the ISO file DIRECTLY with EasyBoot and BCDW ( Bootable CD Wizard) Just 3 files.
This is what I did:
FILE 1 1) Create a BCDW folder in the "disk1\" folder. (disk1\ BCDW) 2) Start Acronis Media Builder and make a True Image CD. 3) Start UltraISO and make an ISO of this CD and save it as TI.ISO in the "disk1\ BCDW" folder.
FILE 2 4) Get BCDW @ This site (after searching for it on google) get the file " bcdw-2.0a1.zip ". 5) Within that zip file extract the file "BCDW.BIN" from the "BCDW" folder and save it in the "disk1\easyboot\" folder with the other boot files.
FILE 3 6) Inside the "disk1\ BCDW" folder create a file called BCDW.INI and copy this into it:
;==================== \BCDW\TI.ISO
[Options] RootMenu=\BCDW\BCDW.INI ;===================
7) Create a menu item in EasyBoot and to run it use: run bcdw.bin
note: this method only works with isos that have the program in the boot file of the iso, like aronis TrueImage.
there should be 2 files in the BCDW folder: BCDW.INI (FILE 3) TI.ISO (FILE 1) and one more in the "disk1\easyboot\" folder BCDW.BIN (FILE 2)
This worked for me I hope it helps you too. Let us know if you were successful.
Later...

The method provided by shakko works but if you have several acronis images you can do the following
FILE 1 1) Create a BCDW folder in the "disk1\" folder. (disk1\ BCDW) 2) Create a ISO Folder in the "disk1\" folder. (disk1\ISO) 3) Start Acronis Media Builder and make the product image 4) Start UltraISO and make an ISO of the CD and save it in "disk1\ISO" folder. Give a unique file name to every image (4 character long)
FILE 2 5) Get BCDW @ http://stud3.tuwien.ac.at/~e0227529/mirror/ (after searching for it on google) get the file " bcdw-2.0a1.zip ". 6) Within that zip file extract the file "BCDW.BIN" from the "BCDW" folder and save it in the "disk1\easyboot\" folder with the other boot files. 7)copy the "bcdw.bin" to the same file name as the iso you created. eg copy bcdw.bin atiw.bin
FILE 3 8) Inside the "disk1\ BCDW" folder create a file called atiw.ini and copy this into it:
;==================== \iso\atiw.iso
[Options] RootMenu=\BCDW\atiw.INI ;===================
9) Use HexEditor to edit "disk1\easyboot\atiw.bin". Look for "\bcdw\bcdw.ini" and change to "bcdw\atiw.ini"
10) Create a menu item in EasyBoot and to run it use: run atiw.bin
note: I have several *.bin copied from bcdw.bin and several ISOs in disk1\ISO and several INIs in disk1\BCDW
At this point I'm trying to find a better way to make ERD ISO work the same way as how I did for Acronis ISO images.
Hope this help

This method does not work with Operating System type of Isos yet. It is the wish of many in this forum that Ultraiso or EasyBoot will do it in the future. hint, hint :-)

Hello Hulk ;)
I'm trying to make a CD with both Acronis True Image and Disk Director Suite.
I did all what you say for the two *.bif (I hope so) but when I run the CD, it says Error Loading Image.
Do you see where is my mistake ?
Thank you,
-------------- Lim.
