USBBoot 2 Final - Create bootable USB, many features. Needs TI 2009 MUST USE 'True Image 2009' to extract to USB -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note !!! IF YOU DO NOT SEE THE WINDOW NTFS PARTITION FROM WINDOWS ON THE USB DISK!!!! Use 'DISK Management' program to 'Change drive letter' and use the 'add' button to add it. Or use Disk Director from Windows can also do the job!!! (After the USB disk is created) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USBBoot is a USB memory drive image of a bootable system disk that contains True Image/Disk Director partition, DOS partition with the ability to read/write NTFS plus all DOS programs from WIN98 original, unerase program, File manager plus others and DATA partition for use in Windows with some utilities. This is a ACRONIS True Image file that contains a bootable partition selector on boot record called OSL that can boot to any drive/partition. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALL To install, use your True Image from windows (if the True Image from DOS can see your USB drive that you wish to write to then you can use it too) and when presented the choice of 4 partitions to select from the image (Select the items to restore), select them all including the MBR on track 0. All 3 partitions are saved in the image with no extra free space. This allows for even a 126 mg flash drive to be able to use the features. Since only partition 1 will be used in Windows, once the USBBOOT is installed, you can resize this partition using the Disk Director. Simply use the Safe Version of Disk Director, move the DOS partition 3 (USBBt) to the end of your free space on the drive, follow by moving the Disk Director & True Image partition 2(USBBt DD&TI) to the end of the free space on the drive and finally resize your NTFS Data partition 1 (USBBt Data) to fill the remaining free space on the drive. Do not resize the other two partitions. If you do not need CD/DVD drivers installed during DOS boot you can skip the menu by editing Config.sys and change the 5 to 0 in 'menudefault=One,5'. You can always hold CTRL to show this menu during DOS boot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGELOG USBBoot 2.0 Final 1. Added new primary partition Data2 (not usable on USB Flash Drives since these only allow only partition 1 to be usable under Windows ) 2. Changed the order of partitions because on large drives, the DOS partition and the True Image partition is not reachable due to the limitations of FAT Now the Dos partition is on the beginning of drive, True Image is next followed by NTFS Data2 (new) and finally NTFS Data1. The partitions are numbered backwards in order to make DOS and True Image usable and Data to be available as partition 1 when used with USB Flash drives where 4 - DOS, 3 - True Image, 2 - Data2 and 1 - Data1 The two Data partitions on this drive are minimal in size (used mainly as place holder and to be enlarged by user to a desired size) and it may seem like there is some used space that is not accounted for taking large part of the partitions. This is normal and it is due to NTFS formatting. USBBoot 1.8 1. Fixed Floppy Image - wrong drive path during boot - C should be A USBBoot 1.7 1. Dos boot now pauses for 5 seconds with Menu to load CD/DVD drivers 2. Fixed SP path not loading with CD/DVD selection during boot. 3. Fixed OSL serial number install. USBBoot 1.6 1. Changed attribute of Program Files folder to Compress on NTFS partition to gain extra room. 2. Added USERS folder on the NTFS partition with the Attribute set to Encrypt. 3. Added CCleaner USBBoot 1.5 1. Removed Vivard.exe from DOS partition. Potential hazard on some systems. 2. Removed programs that are either duplicate function programs or not needed. 3. Housecleaning. 4. File manager menu USBBoot 1.4 1. Added FlashBoot program to the Data partition that allows to create a Floppy (it is referred as SuperFloppy in the FlashBoot program) emulating USB drive that will boot as A drive in a System that has no Floppy drive or B drive on a system that has a floppy drive. (only one partition is available on such drive so I could not put this on the USBBoot drive) USBBoot 1.3 Fixed Bootmanager not loading Very minor change to Config.sys USBBoot 1.2 1. more tweaks in DOS portion. 2. Added a Floppy Image that creates a Mini-version of the DOS partition including the ability to read/write NTFS. USBBoot 1.1 1. Reduced the image from 103mb to 80mb for faster download by removing some sample windows utilities. 2. Fixed auto loading of NTFS enabling driver. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three primary partitions: ------------ Partition 1 is a NTFS formatted as primary non-bootable partition data area usable by windows and includes few various utilities. This is the only partition that can be visible from Windows. See note on top. As of version 1.6 an 'Users' folder is present in the NTFS formatted partition that has it's Encryption attribute set and the 'Program Files' folder has it's attribute set to Compress in order top gain space. To change any partition that is to be visible from windows, you must boot to partition 3, DOS partition and use program called PART to change the desired partition number to 1. ------------ Partition 2: contains a bootable primary partition with Disk Director and True Image from Acronis ------------ Partition 3 contains bootable primary partition that contains DOS from Windows 98. Various utilities on this partition including the ability to read-write NTFS using NTFS4DOS program. ------------ Partition 4 not created. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please send me feedback to [email protected] /* */ . Just like to know if anyone has problems with this. Palo http://tracker.thepiratebay.se:80/announce udp://tracker.thepiratebay.se:80/announce

Please see Install.txt and change following:
INSTALL

To install, use your True Image from windows (if the True Image from DOS can see your USB drive that you wish to write to then you can use it too) and when presented the choice of 5 partitions to select from the image (Select the items to restore), select them all including the MBR on track 0.
All 4 partitions plus MBR are saved in the image with no extra free space. This allows for even a 126 mg flash drive to be able to use the features. Since only partition 1 will be used in Windows, once the USBBOOT is installed, you can resize this partition using the Disk Director. Simply use the Safe Version of Disk Director resize your NTFS Data partition 1 (USBBt Data1) to fill the remaining free space on the drive. If you are installing this Image to a Hard drive then you can also resize the USBBt Data2 or delete this partition if not needed.
