Acronis 2k10 Ultra Pack v2.6.4
The
boot disk based on downloaders BOOTMGR, Isolinux / Syslinux v.3.86 and
Grub4Dos v.0.4.5c. The disc consists of a large number of products
Acronis, Paragon, etc., vozmozhnost boot c CD, USB Flash Drive, USB-HDD
and conventional HDD. The main purpose - preparing to install the OS
HDD, creation / deployment system images, restore / copy data. This CD
is a collection of DOS and Linux-version products assembly "Multiboot
2k10" , adapted to the size of CD-ROM.
How to create a bootable CD or DVD USB-Flash/USB-HDD?
1. For CD / DVD:
You
need a program for recording images - for example, Nero Burning ROM.
Run the program, Recorder -> Burn Image, specify the image file, make
sure that it was noted "Finalize disc" and a recording method
"Disc-At-Once (DAO)". Drive other recording settings will not boot! Nero
is also recommended to "Enable generation of short Lead-Out" (File
-> Options -> Expert Features), this reduces the recording time,
speed up the recognition compact and slightly increase the "capacity" of
discs. Write speed - the minimum within reasonable limits. Recommended
8-16x for CD-ROM drive or 4 - to DVD. Principle is slower write ->
faster (reliable) read.
You can also use other programs that can record images (for example, UltraISO, Alcohol 120, ...).
2. Installing assembly stick to:
Note:
Since Syslinux supports only file system FAT/FAT32, then when you use
this loader to format a USB flash drive always in FAT32!
2.1 USB
flash drive, you must first format (Warning: All data on the flash drive
will be destroyed). It is necessary to flash drive was seen as Bios
USB-HDD, with which you can boot the operating system. If the flash
drive / propeller has been used as a boot, you can skip this paragraph.
Stick is recommended to format a FAT32 (in the file system, it lasts
longer and more stable), but, if necessary, you can use NTFS, if a
bootloader Grub4Dos (faster "kills" the stick, calls for "safe removal",
but it supports files larger than 4GB). This is best done using
RMPrepUSB (is in the assembly on the way 2k10 \ Programs-2k10 \
Flash-Utilites \ RMPrepUSB or menu P2Start.exe "Programs 2k10 \
USB-Flash utility"). It can create as close as possible to the screw
geometry on a flash drive. If you check Boot as HDD (C: 2PTNS), the
flash drive will be created two partitions (half the minimum to the
maximum simulated screws). But I do not recommend using this option, a
USB flash drive will be "hang" appliances (TVs with flash player,
players, etc.). It is quite enough to do, as in the figure.
Alternative methods of formatting the stick (instead of 2.1)
2.1.1
Format the flash drive using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool (is in
the assembly by way of Programs-2k10 \ Flash-Utilites \ HPUSBFW), you
can use the quick format. Some PCs may not work (on a flash drive is
connected properly loader). If it works, can be used for FAT32, and for
NTFS.
2.1.2 Format the flash drive with BootICE (2k10 \ Programs-2k10
\ Flash-Utilites \ BootICE \) ... Recommended format so: BootICE
(select flash) -> Parts Manage -> ReFormat USB disk -> USB-HDD
mode (Single Partition) - Align to sectors: 2048 -> Next -> FAT32
(NTFS) -> OK. Also does not always work, I have - the loader is
connected correctly only under NTFS.
2.1.3 Use FBInstTool
(Programs-2k10 \ Flash-Utilites \ FBInstTool \ or from the menu under
USB-Flash utility.) Utility for non-standard formatting flash drives,
creates a framework of a special type (USB-HDD + USB-Zip). Select USB
flash drive (focus on size!), Noted in formatting options:-raw-force,
format.
2.2 After formatting remove the flash drive and connect again.
2.3
Using WinRar, 7-zip, UltraISO, or even FAR or Total Commander to unpack
the contents of the image on the stick / USB-HDD (all of the above is
in the assembly). Just copy the folder and if you want 2k10
MobaLive.exe.
Faster to first decompress the image contents to a
temporary folder on the screw, and then copy all of it on a flash drive -
have been verified by experience. You can also mount the image as a
virtual CD-ROM and copy of it - the effect is the same. If the creation
of the stick is a loaded assembly, convenient to mount the image using
ImDisk (right click on the image, "Mount ...").
2.4 Use Syslinux bootloader for flash drives:
Need
to make a flash drive bootable. Go to the folder 2k10 \ a flash drive
and run MakeBoot_SYSLINUX.bat. This batch file will make the drive
bootable. Please note that MakeBoot_SYSLINUX.bat need to run it from a
flash drive (he defines on the drive letter). After working batch file
your flash drive ready for use.
Under Windows Vista/7/8, if enabled
UAC, must first be put in the file properties attrib.exe (2k10 \
SYSLINUX \ attrib.exe) run as administrator! After working batch file
your flash drive has a boot (in the folder 2k10 \ Syslinux initial
startup files ldlinux.sys (attributes: hidden / system).
Possible errors:
"Syslinux.exe"
is not an internal or external command, operable program or batch file -
when you try to run the batch file under the x64 version of Windows.
For proper working out need 32-bit version (Windows
2000/XP/2003/Vista/W7). Solution - to make on other computer or burn the
image to a CD, boot from it and do everything out of LiveXP.
2.5 Using Grub4Dos loader for flash drives:
Need
to make a flash drive bootable. Go to the folder 2k10 \ a flash drive
and run MakeBoot_GRLDR.bat. This batch file will make the drive
bootable. Please note that MakeBoot_GRLDR.bat need to run it from a
flash drive (he defines on the drive letter). After working batch file
your flash drive ready for use.
Under Windows Vista/7/8, if enabled
UAC, must first be put in the file properties BSmod.exe (2k10 \ GRUB4DOS
\ BSmod.exe) run as administrator!
This is not the only way to
install the bootloader Grub4Dos, but one of the most "compatible" for
downloading. The loading is identical to that used for Bootmgr
(Vista/7/8), in the boot area using the same registration (only adjusted
under the name GRUBMGR to avoid overlap with other assemblies /
installer / ...).
2.6 Use BOOTMGR boot for flash drives:
Need
to make a flash drive bootable. Go to the folder 2k10 \ a flash drive
and run MakeBoot_BOOTMGR.bat. This batch file will make the drive
bootable. Please note that MakeBoot_BOOTMGR.bat need to run it from a
flash drive (he defines on the drive letter). After working batch file
your flash drive ready for use.
Under Windows Vista/7/8, if enabled
UAC, must first be put in the file properties BootSect.exe (2k10 \
GRUB4DOS \ BootSect.exe) run as administrator!
This is a standard way
to connect to the loader using MicroSoft c BootSect. However, if
desired, the loader can also be connected using BootICE.
3. Installation on USB-HDD/HDD:
3.1
Screw you want to format any program on the breakdown of HDD, create a
primary active / boot partition is the right size (at least 2GB). Choose
the file system FAT32, but if necessary, you can use NTFS, if a
bootloader Grub4Dos.
If the HDD is used for parallel data transfer,
it is convenient to divide it: make two primary partitions (if needed -
many sections, but always the first and last, for assembly - primary, in
the middle can be logical). Format the first partition for your needs
in FAT32/NTFS / ..., the size of the screw container minus 3-5GB. The
second (or the last section, for assembly) - make sure the active / boot
under FAT32. This section establishes the assembly. Why is that?
Preferred - if you need to delete the partition with the assembly, or,
conversely, to increase the space under this section, the operation will
be faster to do with almost any manager drives without losing data in
the first section.
3.2 is copying the assembly to the active partition HDD (like 2.3) and connect the loader (pp.2.4-2.5).
Connecting to boot Syslinux HDD is in a second pass makeboot.bat (in the first - only flash), read the hint!
Under Windows Vista/7/8 run a batch file with administrator privileges!
Alternative methods of boot Grub4Dos with BootICE (2012) for flash drives / HDD:
1.
Loader WEE. Placed fully in the MBR (PBR ignored) is 63 sectors
(nestandartno!). There is a built-in menu (you can edit the
installation), which allows to find and load NTLDR, BOOTMGR, GRLDR, ...
In connection with the non-standard is not recommended for universal
flash, but very useful, for example, as a Boot-manager on the system
drive.
2. GRUB4DOS in the MBR (PBR ignored) is 18 sectors
(nestandartno!). Immediately starts GRLDR. In connection with the
non-standard is not recommended for universal stick.
3A. USB-HDD + in
MBR, registration GRUB4DOS in PBR. Good option, put and works on most
flash drives, especially suitable for FAT32.
3B. USB-HDD + in MBR,
NTLDR residence in PBR. When installing or rename boot rough in the root
to NTLDR, or specify the name of GRLDR for registration in PBR (see
picture). Good option, similar to 3A.
3C. USB-HDD + in MBR, BOOTMGR
residence in PBR. When installing or rename boot rough in the root to
BOOTMGR, or specify the name of GRLDR (or GRUBMGR development) at a
residence in the PBR. Good option, similar to 3A.
4B. Windows NT 5.x
MBR in MBR, NTLDR residence in PBR. When installing or rename boot rough
in the root to NTLDR, or specify the name of GRLDR for registration in
PBR (see picture). A good option for bootable on different hardware, but
it rarely works on a flash drive (depending on the flash chip?),
Especially under FAT32.
5C. Windows NT 6.x MBR in MBR, BOOTMGR
residence in PBR. When installing or rename boot rough in the root to
BOOTMGR, or specify the name of GRLDR (or GRUBMGR development) at a
residence in the PBR. A great option for bootable on different hardware,
some USB flash drives may not work under FAT32 (depends on chip
flash?). Implemented a batch file in the assemblies 2.6.0/2.6.1.
My
advice: for flash drives, unless you want to transfer files larger than
4GB try a batch file, check loading in MobaLive. If does not work - use
NTFS + batch file or installation option using BootICE - 3C (3A, 3B -
they are virtually identical) to FAT32.
