Adding *both* Acronis True Image & Disk Director to UBCD

khvn · **Joined:** Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:02 pm **Posts:** 1

I can add Acronis TI to my UBCD 4.1.1 without a hitch, but when I repeat the same process for Acronis DD, it failed to work.

When I select DD from the menu, I got "shelled out" and promted to "press enter to activate the console". After that, I'm stuck in the shell and can only do a ctrl-alt-del to get out of the loop.

My custom.cfg file modified to add TI & DD:

Code:

MENU INCLUDE /menus/defaults.cfg 
LABEL back 
   MENU LABEL .. 
   KERNEL menu.c32 
   APPEND /menus/main.cfg 
LABEL DD10 
   MENU LABEL Acronis Disk Director 10 Full 
   KERNEL /custom/acronis/DD10/kernel.dat 
   APPEND rw vga=788 acpi=off initrd=/custom/acronis/DD10/ramdisk.dat /s ramdisk_size=20480 quiet 
LABEL TI11 
   MENU LABEL Acronis True Image 11 Full 
   KERNEL /custom/acronis/TI11/kernel.dat 
   APPEND initrd=/custom/acronis/TI11/ramdisk.dat /S quiet vga=791 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 
LABEL bootimg 
   MENU LABEL Your own boot image here 
   KERNEL memdisk 
   APPEND initrd=/custom/boot.img 

I got the kernel.dat and ramdisk.dat for DD straight from my C: drive under the C:\Program Files\Acronis\Acronis Disk Director folder.

Could anyone provide some pointers on how to get *both* Acronis TI and DD onto UBCD?

Can you make the iso of Acronis DD and post the isolinux.cfg file which is inside the iso (or burn it to a RW)?

Increase your ramdisk. The below set-up should work.

Code:

LABEL DD10 
   MENU LABEL Acronis Disk Director 10 Full 
   KERNEL /custom/acronis/DD10/kernel.dat 
   APPEND vga=788 mbrcrcs=on load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 initrd=/custom/acronis/DD10/ramdisk.dat /S
LABEL TI11 
   MENU LABEL Acronis True Image 11 Full 
   KERNEL /custom/acronis/TI11/kernel.dat 
   APPEND vga=788 mbrcrcs=on load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 initrd=/custom/acronis/TI11/ramdisk.dat /S

Provided you can extract the ramdisk and kernel dat file, yes.

I do not understand, sorry.

You'll need IsoBuster to extract the necessary files.

Right-click on Track 1 and select "Find missing files and folders". Once the scan is finished, you should be able to find the necessary files.

Ok work fine, thanks.

I have two questions

APPEND vga=788 mbrcrcs=on load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 initrd=/custom/aechou/ramd2.dat /S

It appears what is loaded.
how does it continue after the shell (console ?)

what is mbrcrcs=on ?

I forgot to add "quiet" to the end of the command...

Code:

APPEND vga=788 mbrcrcs=on load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 initrd=/custom/aechou/ramd2.dat /S /quiet

?? sorry. I don't understand. Does the program not launch?

I have no clue. ((-:
What happens if you remove it?

Works fine, with this parameter.

APPEND initrd=/custom/acronis/TI11/ramdisk.dat /S quiet vga=791 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000

Does not
APPEND vga=788 mbrcrcs=on load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=32000 initrd=/aechov/ramdisk.dat /S /quiet

Acronis begins to load, with hardware infos.
The Courser appears in the Console (Shell)

Thanks for the clarification. I most likely supplied you with a command I use for bcdw. In any case, you appear to have it working.
