Utility to Image Hard Drive to File under Windows

: I do now, but have used 9 previously. The limitation I am seeing may be just for the boot CD, and it may also be for version 9. No to both. For Vista compatibility you need ver. 10 or 11. |

Utility to Image Hard Drive to File under Windows

... Will wrote Rod Speed wrote Will wrote Rod Speed wrote Will wrote Which imaging utilities can read either a DOS or NTFS partition and copy the image to a file on an NTFS file system? If you really meant write instead of the word copy, then any of the major imagers will do that fine. I prefer Acronis True Image. I already tried TrueImage 9.01 from their boot CD. It makes the backup image of the partition, but when you go to "restore" I don't find any option to restore to any arbitrary location on the hard drive. Corse you can. That has to be restoring a partition tho, not the entire physical drive, obviously. Instead it just wants to overwrite the original partition or entire drive. Thats just plain wrong. You can restore a partition to anywhere you like on a particular physical drive, including over any of the existing partitions on that drive. Are you using TrueImage from Windows desktop, or are you using the boot CD you can create from TrueImage? I do it both ways depending on the circumstances. And probably you are using version 10? I do now, but have used 9 previously. The limitation I am seeing may be just for the boot CD, and it may also be for version 9. No to both. What are the step by step instructions how to recover a TrueImage TIB to a part of a disk that has no partition on it using the boot CD? -- Will |

What are the step by step instructions how to recover a TrueImage TIB to a part of a disk that has no partition on it using the boot CD? Boot the CD, select Recovery, select the TIB you want to restore, tick Restore Disks or Partions, tick the PARTITION you want to restore, NOT the entire disk, on the Restored Partiton Location screen, select the partition or unallocated space you restore the partition to. Specify the type of partition you want to create, then on the Restored Partition Size page, you get to specify how the restored partition occupys the free space you have specified the partition will be restored to. That free space may be unallocated space or a partition you have chosen to overwrite. You can specify more than one partition to be restored. If you only specify one to be restored, you eventually get to a Proceed screen with the summary of what you have specified to do displayed. Thats all with TI 9 and I went thru the screens manually to be sure that I wasnt working from memory. |
