rescue media problem

I can't create a bootable rescue on USB flash memory with True Image Workstation 9.1. I consistently get: E00040004: The disk is full!
Select a disk with more free space. I have now tried three USB flash sticks, using both FAT and FAST32 formatting. This is with Vista.

 

What size are the flash sticks?

Are you aware of this posting?

They are 4GB. I looked at the referenced post and ran the DISKPART procedure for setting up the flashdrive and got the same result when trying to create an Acronis bootable. I have not tried the Grub4DOS yet.

 

Are you using the latest build of TI WS 9.1? I've never really used it (just as a trial for a short time), but the Media Builder program may be having a problem with the size or type of flashdrive. If possible, can you try a smaller one, say 2GB or less?

The Grub4DOS method shouldn't have any problems if you use the ISO booting method. The other method will require using Media Builder to copy the files to the flashdrive and you'll probably run into the same problem you're having now.

 

It's build 3887, which I think is the last. I will try a smaller flashdrive.

 

I was able to create the bootable with Media Builder using a 2GB flashdrive, but got a missing operating system message when I tried to boot from it. I can't boot from a CD or DVD created with Media Builder either. With those, I get the Acronis Loader Fatal Error message. I think that the solution to that is to change the SATA setup to IDE, but I have not tested it. Overall, it's been a frustrating experience.
