#CREATE ACRONIS BOOT USB WINDOWS#

Vista will create a 4GB FAT partition, but it uses a larger cluster size and Media Builder gives the same error message. XP can't create a 4GB FAT partition and forces you to use FAT32 (at least, this is what it did on my computer).

Note: Using Windows Disk Management, XP and Vista will only allow one partition to be created on a Flashdrive. I would recommend doing this while booted to the Safe Mode version of DD. Then create a small Primary FAT partition (125MB or so). If you want (or need) the partition smaller, you can select just the partition and resize how you want, then go back and select to restore the MBR and Track 0.Дў) Use Acronis Disk Director (or another partitioning program that works with Flashdrives) to remove the existing partition (usually FAT32) from the Flashdrive. If you select to restore the Entire Disk Image, TI will expand the image to 1.99GB. Normally, you'll need to boot to the Safe Mode version of TI to restore the image. It is important that you use the FAT image. To work around this, you can do several things:ДЎ) Restore the 125MB FAT 'Empty' image from my website to the 4GB flashdrive. I have not tested a Flashdrive larger than 4GB as that's the largest I currently have, but I assume the same problem would exist for 8GB and 16GB Flashdrives. However, it seems that users of TI 9 won't be able to use a Flashdrive larger than 2GB because Media Builder returns with a 'Disk Full' error and won't copy the files. I have successfully used the TI 10 and TI 11 Media Builder programs on a 4GB FAT32 Flashdrive. For users with Flashdrives larger than 2GB, Acronis Media Builder may have a problem (according to Acronis Support).
