I can not copy the iso boot sector and make an image using it

I used this command:

mkisofs -b boot.img -no-emul-boot -o acronis.iso /acronis/

On the way /acronis/ I have the files that I extracted from the iso file! When I rebooted the computer and tried to load the image with grub4dos, I saw the loader error. I did not succeed and I know a little about the bootloader. In the program ultraiso with this no problem, I do not like windows and I need a working instruction to recreate the image from files and the boot sector. I took out the boot sector with this program: http://github.com/ksergey/thinkpad/blob … ltorito.pl My cdrtools latest version. I ask for help, I need the same result as when using UltraISO

P.S.: or give a book on which will fully disclose the topic, I have not found such anywhere

Re: I can not copy the iso boot sector and make an image using it

Let's see : you have an iso created by Acronis probably containing one of their commercial software products.

You extracted the files from the iso and now want to re-create it .

Please explain why you are doing this and what you hope to achieve.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
