How to run Acronis Alignment Tool (WD Align) from a pendrive or USB drive

I'll make it quick:

Download RMPrepUSB, then format the pendrive as FAT32. Within RMPrepUSB install grub4dos on the pendrive.

Then copy the ISO the acronis program generated to the root of the pendrive.

Now, boot the pendrive and in the grub console just type (rename acronis_boot.iso to whatever you have named your ISO):

map --mem (hd0,0)/acronis_boot.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot


This maps (or copy) the ISO to RAM and run the ISO from there. You can go without the --mem but the program crashed without it being ran on RAM.

Cheers
