Yes, the Grub4Dos works very well. I have several versions of TrueImage on mine. Just do section 1 and 3 of the reference link.
The Grub4Dos is also a good method of have on a usb disk or an alternate internal disk.

Sorry for somehow hi-jacking this thread, OP [Original Poster]. But I do think I have a question that might be relevant.
I have been searching around for methods on how GRUB could boot the Acronis Recovery ISO's, and they generally work great. Usually they are in the form of http://forum.acronis.com/forum/13730 or http://themudcrab.com/acronis_grub4dos.php. The user either has to get the ISO and boot it directly through GRUB, extract the bif using UltraISO and boot that set of files using GRUB, or copy the Recovery Manager folder's files and use that with GRUB.
But it seems I can't use or install ASRM [Acronis Startup Recovery Manager?] with these methods. Yes, with a either (USB disk or a Recovery Disk) utilizing GRUB on hand, the need for utilizing ASRM becomes smaller and smaller, but it still has its uses.
So I guess the only way to utilize ASRM is to use the media the Bootable Media Builder presents to us, or to use a WinPE-based solution, right (aka the "official methods")? Is there a way for GRUB-based TI Recovery media to utilize ASRM, and if so, what steps should be done to enable this usage?
Thank you very much for your time.

Just as an aside, if one has MS .NET Framework 4 installed, a program called XBOOT is almost trivially easy to use in this regard. Just drag & drop your .iso file onto it, and write to USB. It also features something called QEMU which allows you to test & see the menu it's made, and make sure your iso works.
It too uses Grub4DOS, but makes it easier to install & edit (again, if you have .NET 4 which by itself is something of a pig). ;)

In the current versions of TI, installing the ASRM is best done using TI in Windows. It may not even install using the standard TI CD. This problem has existed since Acronis changed how the ASRM works.
However, you shouldn't have a problem using the ASRM just because of the type of TI boot media you're using. The ASRM boots from the hard drive and should be unaffected when booting from a CD or flash drive.
