  1. Latest version of True Image  provides UEFI booting. My questions 

    1. How to combine true image and disk director? 

    2. Kaspersky rescue disk also allows UEFI booting but uses grub2 to boot. How do I add the grub command in bootx64.xml file located in efi/boot folder? 

    The grub command 

    menuentry "${kav}" {
        linux /boot/grub/k-x86_64 net.ifnames=0 lang=${lang} dostartx
        initrd /boot/grub/initrd.xz
    }

    Having True Image, Disk Director and Kaspersky rescue disk for removing virus without loading windows is the best combination of backup and recovery tools. 

    Attached is the bootx64.xml file from true image and kav_menu.cfg file from kaspersky rescue disk for reference 

    bootx64.xml.txt

    kav_menu.cfg.txt

  2. Hi,

    In win 7 by default files downloaded by browser or download manager, files transferred by camera or scanners and so on are saved in the C:\Users folder.But incase a format is required saving the files is a very tedious job.

    Is a good idea to move the user folder to D drive?

    On re-installation of windows using the method to move user folder,will it work i.e the data stored by software would get restored?

    If I have to use linux livecd than abetter option is to boot using the bootable usb drive with avg rescue disk and use file manager (Midnight Commander) from the utilities menu.

    "You have two options: Ext2Fsd or Ex2IFS". I have tried both but both can only access a ex2 partition not linux ext2 ram disk image

  4. Hi,

    When I boot the rescue cd.iso file created by Acronis True Image Home 2012 with grub4dos through bootable usb,all operations like creating and restoring backup images,creating acronis secure zone works perfectly.But the option to activate F11for startup recovery get the error as shown in the pic as files not found.

    The entry in the menu.lst file is

    title Acronis True Image Home 2012

    map --mem (hd0,0)/cdimage/acronis.iso (hd32)

    map --hook

    chainloader (hd32)

    boot

    how do I rectify the problem?

  5. Hi,

    Is it possible to install the windows 7 "SETUP DVD" on a windows partition not install windows 7 on harddisk.

    Reason :

    Windows 7 setup dvd has the option to restore a backup image of installed windows on a partition.I wish to have it like as it is in laptops where there is a recovery option.I would use a boot loader with two boot options

    1.Boot Windows 7

    2.Recovery

    Please Guide.

  6. For testing purpose

    1.Kept the the same directory structure as of the 64bit iso.

    \AMD64

    \I386

    2.Copied \1386\setupdlr.bin to \1386\setupdlr.rep

    3.Copied \AMD64\winnt.sif to \AMD64\winnt.rep

    4.Patched bootsector to load setupdlr.rep (Replaced text setupdlr.bin to setupdlr.rep)

    5.\AMD64\winnt.sif

    \AMD64\winnt.rep

    \I386\setupdlr.rep

    \I386\setupdlr.bin

    when I load the patched bootsector it works fine, but if the \I386\setupdlr.rep is patched for winnt.rep I get the error "NTLDR is corrupt"

  7. Use a slightly different approach: SetupSourcePath and BootPath.

    Use one directory for unanttended and repair, adjust winnt.sif. Patch a second setupldr.bin to winnt .rep.

    unattended: use file \XP64\AMD64\WINNT.SIF

    repair use file: \XP64\AMD64\WINNT.REP

    As for 32 bit use a second setupldr.bin too and two files

    I386\WINNT.SIF

    I386\WINNT.REP

    Thanks.I read the topic you have pointed towards.I am using EasyBoot to create the cd menu.To run xp setup in the easyboot command I enter "run xp64.bin".Replacing I386 to IX64 in xp64.bin is telling the boot sector that i386 is IX64 but if i386 is placed in a folder named xp64 would maybe have to place the bin file in the folder XP64 enter in the command "run \xp64\xp64.bin".I am unable to understand boot sector patching.

    Patching "second setupldr.bin to winnt .rep" and then for repair use " \XP64\AMD64\WINNT.REP".How? setupldr.bin and winnt.sif are two different types of files.

  8. Hi,

    PLEASE Guide.

    I am creating a multiboot cd with windows XP with 32 bit and 64 bit setups.I would basically have six boot options in the menu of the setup dvd,

    1.WinXP Pro 32bit

    2.Repair 32 bit

    3.WinXP Pro 64bit

    4.Repair 64 bit

    5.Boot from Harddisk

    6.Reboot PC

    Options 2 and 4 would rarely be used, but I prefer keeping them.

    The I386 folder of 32Bit is I386,32bit repair is named I32R,The I386 folder of 64Bit is renamed IX64 and 64Bit repair as I64R.The boot files of 32 and 64 bit have been extracted and named as XP32.bin,XP32R.bin,XP64.bin and XP64R.bin.In XP32R.bin,XP64.bin and XP64R.bin I have replaced the text I386 to I32R,IX64 and I64R.Replaced the text i386 in I32R\setupldr.bin to i32r,IX64\setupldr.bin to ix64 and I64R\setupldr.bin to i64r.Changed SetupSourcePath = "\" in I32R\txtsetup.sif to SetupSourcePath = "\I32R".

    Should I change the SetupSourcePath in the IX64\txtsetup.sif and I64R\txtsetup.sif ?

    The unattended file "WINNT.SIF" in 32 bit is in the I386 folder.I have placed one without repair option in I386 and one with repair option in I32R.

    The "WINNT.SIF" is located in the AMD64 folder, How do I do it for 64bit?

    If the duplicate once switch is used in creating the ISO, would there be a problem in the setup or if and software/hardware needs the I386 folder for copying files from the setup DVD ?

  9. Hi,

    I am creating a multi operating system installer dvd with other utilities(partitioning , diagnosis of harddisk and memory, winbuilder,etc) ,a multiboot dvd(Win xp 32bit and 64bit and if there is space windows 7).I would be creating an unattended install which would hide the repair option because repair option is used very rare by me.If I need the R option one way is modify the winnt.sif, then I would always have to accept the EULA by pressing F8 then select the setup option(two pages extra) or have two I386 folders one named I386(complete unattended install) second IXPR(Repair option enabled). Second option has the disadvantage of occupy extra space on my dvd which I could use for other boot cds.Is there a way to create the two folders but not copy all the files to IXPR?
