After I wrote this last night, I dug up a version of 10 Home and tried with it, and the same result. Most of my trials were with Home ver 11, as it will recognize the thumbdrive in Windows as a write to location without having to boot to the Linux ver of Acronis. Note: Running Windows XP Professional SP2 on all computers. I have booted from a USB CDROM if that helps, and I created a Win98 DOS boot on the same thumbdrive using the HP utility and it boots like a charm on the X31.īartPE and VistaPE are on my list to explore, but I haven't tried them yet. I don't believe I have ever tried booting a USB HD on this X31 lappy. Will this safe mode work if it has no USB support? I want to make sure I understand your definition of safe mode. One is full, and the other is safe without USB or SCSI support. There is 2 options for Acronis when I do this. I assume you mean booting up and pressing F11 to go into Acronis before Windows starts. ![]() I haven't tried this from the Safe boot mode of Acronis. Not sure this matters.Īll my attempts were from Acronis under Windows. The second one, creates a 256 meg partition from your 125 meg image with Home ver 11. The first FAT version scales up the partition on the flashdrive to the full size of the card. I tried both FAT versions of your TIB files and the first FAT32 version. Yes I tried restoring the empty images from you, but I haven't tried verifying the MBR with Disk Dir. Just this one little wrinkle to iron out. ![]() Thanks so much for all the work you have put into this.
