Chapter 3: Creating Image Files with Drive Image DOS26
7
Type the desired path and image filename in the Image File field (for example,
D:\MYIMAGE.PQI).
You must save your image file to a partition that you are
not
including in your image
file. You can click Browse to find the directory where you want to save the image
file. Click Browse to select a CD-R or CD-RW drive because you cannot just type the
CD drive letter to save an image to CD. CD drives will appear in the list as
\\.\pqcd
x
\name of drive, where
x
is the number of the CD drive.
You can save an image to a hidden NTFS, FAT, or FAT32 partition (a partition that
has not been assigned a drive letter) by choosing it from the New Image File dialog
box that appears when you click Browse. A hidden NTFS partition will appear in the
Drives list as \\.\Disk
n
.Part
m
, where
n
is the number of the disk and
m
is the number
of the partition on that disk. For example, the third partition on the first disk would
appear as \\.\Disk1.Part3. To further identify the hidden partition, the volume label
will display, if available.
Make sure there is no existing file with the same name, unless you want the existing
file to be overwritten. Drive Image uses .PQI as the default image filename extension.
IMPORTANT!
Do not include spaces or extended characters in the filename, or you
may not be able to access the image file from Drive Image, DOS, or
ImageExplorer.
