bootable USB flash drive with true image 11

How can i make a usb flash drive bootable and place a true image 11 backup on it?
It is a 8 gb stick. I have read a document on the internet on www.purviancecs.com/acronis.htm but this doesn't work for true image 11 i believe.
Is there a way to do this?

 

Are you using Vista? If so, this is an easy method to use:
Create a Bootable Flashdrive Using Vista's DISKPART Program

Note that once the flashdrive is prepared by Vista's Diskpart, you can run the Acronis Media Builder program on it. In other words, you can prepare the flashdrive on one computer (running Vista) and then run Media Builder on another computer (running XP, for example).

Using Grub4DOS is another option:

No i am using Windows XP pro SP2.

I can put the 32 bits image to the key, but then when i want to use mediabuilder it doesn't see the flash key. In Explorer from windowsxp it has gotten a drive letter and its name is Acronis, but Media builder doesn't see it.
I believe it is because the key is 8 gb and the image is 125 mb, so the rest is unallocated space. Must i format the rest and make a primairy partition on it, because this doesn't work either with Windows XP he doesn't see 2 partitons on a flash key...

Ok. I have tried Grubfordos. Because there where 2 partitions on the stick i have removed them and the total space of the Lexar stick 8 gb created a fat32 partition on it. Then i followed the procedure for Grub4dos.

When done starting True image 11 and started the media builder. The problem then occured: True Image doesn't see the stick... He only see's the cdwriter and floppy and another partition.

What am i doiing wrong?

 

Which method were you using? If you use the ISO method (Section 3), then you don't need to use Media Builder on the flashdrive.

 

Now it worked, thx!
