just got a copy of acronis backup and recovery 10. i created a iso file and put on my usb drive.
I modified the menu.list file and added the following commands
title Acronis True Image Home v2010
find --set-root /Acronis10.iso
map /Acronis10.iso (hd32)
map --hook
root (hd32)
chainloader (hd32)
boot

this as worked for all other programs including acronis home. however this version wants to load a ram disk
and comes back with a error that it can not do so. does anybody have any idea how to fix this. i am still
new in using grap4dos and not sure how to correct this problem. i would add to ubcd4win however i could not
find a plugin for this program yet. it was released not to long ago.
and yes i am a newbe

thanks in advance

There is a BartPE plugin available from Acronis for True Image 2010.

Log into your Acronis account and go to support, look under free plugins.

-jm

Thanks but this will not work for me. it is to slow. i would like to be able to load it on the grp4dos menu. without having to load uncd4win.
but have not been able to get it to work. all other versions work fine. but this one is trying to create a ram disk. not to sure how fix.
thanks in advance

The problem with their plugin is that UBCD4Win expects to see a *.cab file. All you have is ISO,*,inf and *.html file. Still no Cab file

There is an easier way to create a plugin for Acronis Software (this technique applies to all their current released products).

Create the bootable ISO, mount it using daemon tools or extract it using winrar or pcuser's unisofs utility

Find and copy these 2 files to your plugin directory
kernel.dat
agent_ramdisk.dat


Create your plugin ini files and you will need to also create syslinux and grub4dos menu files like these

Syslinux;
LABEL -
MENU LABEL Acronis title here
TEXT HELP
Acronis info here
ENDTEXT
LINUX /ubcd/custom/atie/kernel.dat
INITRD /ubcd/custom/atie/ramdisk.dat
APPEND rw /S mbrcrcs=on vga=788 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=40000 quiet

Grub4dos;
title Acronis title here
kernel /ubcd/custom/atie/kernel.dat rw /S mbrcrcs=on vga=788 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=40000 quiet
initrd /ubcd/custom/atie/ramdisk.dat
map --unmap=0:0xff


** Note this will work for multiboot only, you will need to figure out the BCDW plugin for yourself.
