Drive Image 2002 includes the following new features:
- Native Windows version of Drive Image. Drive Image
runs in Windows if it can lock each partition (that is,
if there are no files opened on the partitions) involved
in the task you are performing. If Drive Image cannot
lock the partitions, it will go into DOS boot mode to
perform the operations. You do not need to enter
information from DOS unless you run Drive Image DOS from
the rescue diskettes.
- Limited partitioning capability to create and maintain a
backup location on the hard disk.
- CD-R and CD-R/W support. Drive Image lets you create images
directly to CDs (just as you can using Drive Image DOS).
You need no other third-party software or drivers. If Drive
Image cannot execute in Windows, it will burn the CD in DOS
boot mode.
- Network support. If Drive Image can execute natively in Windows
(in other words, if there are no open files on the partitions
being imaged or the location where the image is being restored),
you can just select the corresponding network drive letter to
create or restore an image on the network. The Boot Disk Builder
program included with Drive Image lets you create or restore
images to or from a network drive even when Drive Image must
execute in DOS boot mode (or if you run Drive Image from the
rescue diskettes). DOS support for network devices is dependent
upon the availability of DOS NIC drivers for your NIC. Drive
Image ships with some of the most common NIC drivers.
- Four new wizards:
Initial Backup Wizard - Lets you create an image of
your system to removable media (such as a CD-R or CD-R/W)
before modifying drives on the hard disks.
Setup Wizard - Selects or creates a backup partition
on the hard disk for storing backup images.
Create New Partition (found in the Disk Operations
feature) - Lets you create a new partition
on your hard disk.
Redistribute Free Space Wizard - Assists in maintaining
or cleaning up your hard disk. If you run out of space to
store image files on your backup partition, you can use
this wizard to equalize free space on all the partitions
on the hard disk, increasing space for the backup partition.
If you remove the backup partition from the hard disk, you can
use this wizard to put the space that was in your backup
location back into other partitions that you are still
using (such as your C: drive).
- USB/FireWire support. Drive Image lets you create or restore images
to and from USB or FireWire drives if Drive Image can execute
natively in Windows (without dropping to DOS boot mode). If Drive
Image must execute in DOS boot mode, support for such devices is
