Acronis BR 11 and Disk Director 11 - Can both be together in a WinPE 3 Disk?
Hi Folks:
I have ABR 11 and also Disk Director 11. I am able to create WinPE 3.1 disks with both of them separately, but can't figure out how to get both of them on the same cd so that I can stick the disk in the drive and choose which to boot from.
Is this possible?

I was able to accomplish this but when I boot the ISO I get a iaStor.sys error. The file is there though.
I took an existing WIM and added DD to it using the DD media builder.
Then I used the ABR media builder to add ABR to that WIM.
Been building TIH & DD WIM's for years without any problem.
So I decided to use ABR MB and let it create the WinPE 'automatically'. I can boot the resulting image but I get message below when ABR tries to start.
Note the version number in the message :-) I'm using ABR11.
Ok, my bad on the memory. My test bed is a VM and it was set to 512Mb. Bumped it to 1Gb and it boots my custom PE environment with DD and ABR11. However, DD crashes when executed. Perhaps some conflict with files it shares with ABR11. ABR11 executes just fine though.
Increasing the memory eliminated the previously mentioned iaStor.sys error.
In the previous post I had added DD11 to a WIM followed by ABR11.
Trying the reverse I created a working ABR11 WinPE and tested it. Then I took the WIM from that and used the DD11 MB to add DD11 to that WIM.
Booting this setup that includes ABR11 & DD11 showed that DD11 now works but ABR11 crashes. See attached. Not surprising considering the results in the previous post. Something they have in common must have an issue when used with the other product.
...and the thing in common is probably the Managed Machine Service. They both seem to implement it differently.
