Chapter 3: Creating Image Files with Drive Image DOS22

Overview

You can use Drive Image to create image files on any physical or logical drive that DOS

has assigned a drive letter, including floppy drives, secondary hard drives, network drives,

and removable media storage devices such as Jaz, Zip, and MO drives.

You can also create image files on NTFS, FAT, and FAT32 partitions and IDE or SCSI

CD-R or CD-RW drives that have not been assigned drive letters. If you are unsure

whether a drive is available to save an image file, click Browse and all of the available

drives will display.

The steps under “Creating an Image File” beginning on page 23 include all the

considerations that may be associated with each step. Some of the information will not

apply to your configuration or the task you are completing. For example, if you are

creating an image file from a computer that only has one hard disk, you will not see a

screen where you can select the hard disk because it is automatically selected for you.

Image Files and Hardware Configurations

Because of operating system conflicts that can result from different hardware

configurations, Drive Image was not intended to copy or image a hard drive that will be

used in a system with different hardware configurations.

If you create an image on one machine and restore the image on a machine with a different

configuration (for example, a different motherboard or video card), the operating system

may not boot correctly. Therefore, PowerQuest recommends imaging and restoring only to

machines with identical hardware configurations.

Any discussion of imaging assumes that the software, including the operating system, is

being copied in accordance with the license agreement with the software manufacturer.

Copying Windows NT or Windows 2000 Partitions

If you are using Drive Image to copy Windows NT or Windows 2000 partitions (where

Windows is installed), you may experience problems related to the BOOT.INI file. The

BOOT.INI file includes information about the boot options for Windows’ loader and the

order of the Windows partition. If you have used Drive Image to copy a Windows

partition, and the partition order has changed from the original order, then the BOOT.INI

file may not be updated to reflect the new order of the Windows NT/2000 operating

system files. Therefore, you will be unable to boot your Windows partition.
