Several recent posts requesting instructions on installing True Image on an external USB hard disk and being able to boot from it have prompted me to create a guide on the subject. Including both general instructions for those familiar with True Image and step-by-step instructions for those new to the process, hopefully anyone with True Image 10, a USB flash drive and USB hard disk can successfully create an Acronis Bootable USB Hard Disk. For those still using True Image 9 (build 3,677 or later), the process is only slightly different. This will allow you to boot into the Acronis media (True Image, Disk Director, etc.) from your storage drive with no need to boot from the rescue cd or from a flash drive. If you have created a BartPE cd or flash drive, you can use the same instructions to boot BartPE from the USB hard disk.

Acronis True Image Boot Cd Black Screen

Many thanks to Menorcaman for his suggestions and help in getting the guide posted on the Acronis support forum. I also want to thank K0lo for his continued help, suggestions and ideas throughout the entire process. Enjoy the guide!

EDIT (August 23, 2007):- Further testing of the procedure detailed in the Guide has found that Acronis Media Builder does not always write the MBR to the flashdrive during its creation. This results in a flashdrive that will not boot and any image created from it and restored to a USB hard disk will also not boot.

To try and rectify this problem, I have created two 'empty' images that can be restored directly to either a USB flashdrive or a USB hard disk. The images contain the MBR, the boot sector and an empty ACRONIS partition. Details on the procedure can be found.

OK, so the HP format utility is capable of formatting your USB hard disk. Windows can format your USB hard disk too. That's not the main focus of Mudcrab's article. The article shows you how to use a USB hard disk as the only tool required for backing up and restoring image files. In the past you always needed two tools; one to run the stand-alone recovery version of TrueImage and another to hold your image files. For example, to recover your PC from a backup image you would need the recovery version of Acronis TrueImage on a CD or a flash drive. You also need the image file which can be on CDs, a DVD, an external USB hard disk, internal hard disks, or on a PC on your network.

The recovery process may require you to boot the PC from a CD and then restore the image from an external USB hard disk, for example. The heart of MudCrab's technique is a method for using an external USB hard disk as the only tool needed for backup and restoration. You boot your PC from the USB hard disk and the image file needed for restoration is also stored on the same hard disk. The originality of his method is that it requires only one program -- Acronis TrueImage -- to create this tool. Other methods that have been used have required partitioning tools like Acronis Disk Director, PartitionMagic, or equivalent. His method does not require additional software. This looks like a cool procedure.

I have not tried it cause my usb drive currently has all my backups on the partition (about 200gig). But do I understand this procedure correctly: 1. Create a bootable flash drive partition 2. Put that on the usb harddrive as the primary active partition with updated MBR?? I also want to try the bartpe methoud as I already have that disk build for CD. BUT i can't get this tool downloaded: there seems to be a redirect and my download fails.

Try and download the PEtoUSB program from. If that doesn't work, send me a Private Message and I'll send it to you. --- If you follow the method outlined in the guide, it will ERASE everything on the USB hard drive. Make sure you have your backups copied off so you can put them back on after you've got the drive setup and booting. I have not run tests on creating the bootable USB hard drive and keeping the existing data on the drive. I may run some tests on this later as it would be a nice option. However, since it would involve resizing the existing partition to make room for the Acronis partition, I would still recommend having everything backed up in case something went wrong.
