I do love Acronis True Image as I have loved Ghost back then during the old times…

My goal this time was to be able to boot my Eee PC Asus 1000H from USB using Acronis Rescue Media to select a partition backup (.TIB files) from my E: partition on HDD and restore it on C: or D: partitions.

My .TIB files contains a fully operational WinXPP instance with all 1000H drivers and the coreload software I use.

Being able to restore an image without using any external CD Reader was my primary purpose.

Requirements:

- Asus EeePC 1000H or the like
- Acronis True Image with Rescue Media Builder installed and working
- SD Card with 46mb of free space, I suggest you to use an empty SD card, the smallest you have.
I have tried with a Vking 127Megabyte and failed, then I have tried with a SunDisk MMC with SD Adapter 512Megabytes and succeeded

1 – Download and unzip USB_MultiBoot_10.zip

2 – Then run USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd, hit any key to continue, then hit H and the format tool will appear, select the USB Drive and format it. Once done, click close

3 – Run Acronis True Image and click on Tools -> Create Bootable Rescue Media. It will prompt you to choose which device to use. Select the letter assigned to your SD Card.

4 – Acronis does copy the necessary files and active the SD partition so you can boot off it

5 – Once done, restart your computer and hit ESC to invoke where to boot from, choose the SD Card Reader and hit enter

6 – Acronis Rescue Media will boot and start from your SD, it will then allow you to choose between Safe or Full Mode and with either of them you will be able to select a .TIB file and restore it to its partition. This way you no longer need to re-install WinXPP from USB as I have already explained here and here, and you will be able to restore a full XPP with drivers and software in minutes.

Comments welcome…and please…I have not tried but I think you can do the same with a USB Drive, either Flash or HDD. Let me know!
