Re: [H] bootable flash and DVDs

2009-11-08 Thread Rick Glazier

Thanks for the reasons. I do basic stuff and leave my BartCDs pretty simple.
(Mostly so I never have to update the parts, like AV, etc...)

As far as the USB booting. I made a "Vista Recovery" (64bit) bootable USB
from my CD*-(more below).
It works/boots on a recent Intel branded MB and a HP laptop a couple years old,
so I guess I have new enough stuff to look into that type more. (Finally!)

* This "Vista Recovery" CD was a D/L and is just like the one that is built-in
to Win7. (I Win7 one is part of and easy to burn directly from the OS.)
It is the one that "looks like" you are starting an install, (but are not),
and fits on a CD-R.

The acronis for Bart comes in handy for instances where Acronis doesn't find the appropriate net driver, or if the RAID controller 
isn't supported.. or if you plan on doing image casting.  It's most useful if you're using TI Echo.

The easiest thing for JUST the Acronis Restore is to use their
media builder to make its own boot CD.
Acronis distributes a plug-in for a BartPE CD (but why bother).

As far as your other questions, USB has flaky support some
times generally, but especially for use as a bootable device.
It may settle down eventually.

Remember, the main things you want to accomplish "may"
require constant care (and updating). I got tired of the hassle...

One thing I have yet to do is create some kind of windows bootable 
media that I can boot into when I need to repair a windows 
installation, or run a Acronis restore, delete a stubborn file when 
it refuses to delete on a running windows, or a virus scan on a non 
running windows. Something similar to booting from a dual boot 
windows PC... only not from my hard drive and able to use it with any 
PC. Is there an easy way to create such a thing, and how do I go about it?

There is a lot of ways to go:

The hard part is to decide which one.  :)

Something like a LiveCD? Like the one that comes default with the Ubuntu 
installation CD?
