My notes on using BartPE and ABR10
Good Day,
The issue that I am having has not been resolved with the downloaded ISO image. The display problem still exists making the
program unusable on the machine that I am trying to back up.
Following the instructions in bulletin 6267 I have been unable to create a bootable ISO image, this is the reason for me using
BartPE.
While using BartPE I experienced a race condition between the RAMDisk program and MMS.exe.
On some systems esp. slow 750MHz PII the ramdisk is slow to initialize, at the same time mms.exe is running and
trying to write to the 'B:' ramdrive, which is not ready, causing the mms service to silently fail. In addition the temp
directory B:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\Temp is not being created by mms even if the
service is started by the command:
Net Start MMS
This causes acronis 10 to fail because the temp file acr1.tmp cannot be created on the 'B:' drive because of the
non existent directory.
suggestions:
The solution fix mms.exe to initialize after the ramdisk has finished, a simple check to see if it exists would work, if not exist wait until it does then create the file structure. Also fix the missing temp directory under local settings
so that the temp file: acr1.tmp can be created. This all relates to using BartPE, which many customers are using
instead of WIK.
Thank you for your time to read this I will post what I have observed to see if people agree with the analysis that I came to.
