Image For Windows Question

i open the tbos.str and it have this bootfile.exe

 

You should have 3 lines. Mine is..

So you only have 1 line? Could you check your method2.run? It will open in Notepad.

 

method2.run have this

add virtdrv d:\tbos.bin 1 TBOS /b
set textline tbos.str "bootfile.exe" /b
set textline tbos.str "image.exe /r /d:b0@0x1 /f:b2@0x1:"\IFW\Vista x32-1" /uy /v /a /o"
set textline tbos.str "bootfile.exe /reboot" /a

 

It's OK.

Do you now have tbos.bin in your D: drive?

Delete tbos.bin and tbos.str and double click method2.bat again.

What does tbos.str show this time?

 

i have TBOS.BIN on my drive D:

i delete tbos.bin and tbos.str then i click method2.bat again

tbos.str show the same bootfile.exe

 

OK. Delete the two files again.
Open method2.bin and add some line spaces. Then File, Save. Make it look like this.

Double click method2.bat again. Does that make a difference to tbos.str?

 

method2.bin = method2.run?, cause i dont have method2.bin

dont know if this make any diferent but on the ifd.ini i change gtm +6 for GTM -5

 

My mistake. I meant method2.run.

Your Time Zone should be GTM +5 (the sign is reversed)

 

I've worked out what was wrong. It was the extra " "

Use this in method2.run

add virtdrv d:\tbos.bin 1 TBOS /b
set textline tbos.str "bootfile.exe" /b
set textline tbos.str "image.exe /r /d:b0@0x1 /f:b2@0x1:\IFW\Vista32 /uy /v /a /o"
set textline tbos.str "bootfile.exe /reboot" /a


You file name will now be Vista32.tbi

Is your tbos.str OK now?

 

now we got this

bootfile.exe
image.exe /r /d:b0@0x1 /f:b2@0x1:\IFW\Vista32 /uy /v /a /o
bootfile.exe /reboot

 

Great. Do you have UltraISO? Double click tbos.bin and it will open in UltraISO. You should see 6 files. Make sure bootfile.exe is 76 KB.



Create a folder in the D: drive called mata7tbos.

Put tbos.bin in D:\mata7tbos. Also, copy bootfile.exe from the "win" folder of
TBOSDT to D:\mata7tbos. This file is 180 KB.

Create a file called tbos.bat ... (Do this in Notepad and change
the name to tbos.bat) Paste the following 1 line.

bootfile "D:\mata7tbos\tbos.bin"

(File, Save)


The mata7tbos folder now contains three files.

bootfile.exe
tbos.bat
tbos.bin


Do you have a floppy drive or a bootable USB stick?

 

i have power iso, on the tbos.bin i only have 4 files and the bootfile.exe is 76 KB

i dont have floppy or bootable USB stick Do i need the USB stick?

 

What are the 4 files?

 

Nice. A bit neurotic, but very nice. Since you like to play the name game, let's see how you handle this:

System Backup - Month/Day/Year Time


Also, since IFW cannot restore active partitions without the use of boot media, which is something Acroinis TI can do, it doesn't make sense to store TIB files on your drive. Keeping that in mind, try this one on for size to replace the command line in your .bat file.

 

BOOTFILE.EXE
TBOS.STR
TBOS.SYS
TBOSLDR.

 

I did that previous line for you. I don't like dated backup files and that one looks too hard. Also, I don't backup to DVDs.

Well, that's not really true. Mata7 will be restoring without boot media shortly.

 

Mata7,

Do you have image.exe and ifd.ini in the dos_tbos folder? If not, copy them there, delete tbos.bin and tbos.str and double click method2.bat.

Do you have 6 files in tbos.bin now?

I don't think you will need a bootable USB stick.

 

yes i have image.exe and ifd.ini in the dos_tbos folder

still have 4 files in tbos.bin now

 

Check your method2.bat. Is it like this?

tbosdt method2.run
tbossys /f d:\tbos.bin bootfile.exe tbos.str image.exe IFD.ini

 

If your method2.bat is OK, PowerISO may be seeing tbos.bin differently from UltraISO. Try it with UltraISO.

 

my method2.bat

tbosdt method2.run
tbossys /f d:\tbos.bin bootfile.exe tbos.str image.exe IFD.ini

i install ultraISO and got same resault 4 files

 

Thanks. I'm having trouble with this one.

image.exe and ifd.ini are in the dos_tbos folder along with all of the other files? They aren't in a folder inside the dos_tbos folder?

 

If you aren't having any luck, I have a work-around.

 

they are inside of dos_tbos along with all of the other files

 

OK. Try it this way. Open tbos.bin in PowerISO or UltraISO. Drag image.exe and ifd.ini into the window. Click Save and close the program. Double click tbos.bin and it will open in PowerISO or UltraISO. Does it have 6 files now?
