Is it possible that a Drive with Win7 dont allows you to Clone it?

I did all like you did in your Video, but at the Boot of Win7 it boots about for 10sec. and then shutdown>boot again (10-15sec.) and again shutdown.....what did I made wrong?

[odisseo373]

Very good. Clear tutorial.

Another piece of garbage! Did the drive-to-drive copy to an identical drive on an external enclosure, swapped drives, rebooted and got errors. XXCLONE is best but it currently does not support windows 7.

[darthmal]

I have two identical drives (size) - my C with ALL my OS files, data, pics music, etc... Can I use this utility to make my extra drive (E in this instance) an exact clone so I can just swap cables and boot up? I was able to do it with XXCLONE, but it does not support Windows7, which I updated to.

Excellent tutorial! I read 3 or 4 reviews of this software, and none of them really gave me a feel for the software and whether I should use it. But now,I finally feel as if I understand how (and why) to use Driveimage.

Thank you for putting this together for the general public!

huge problem here-- backed up a 178 gb hd -- when I run the .xml file the drivexml program crashes-- is there another way I can restore my backup??

[halfmumi]

5:00 that "Shadow Service" option can copy whole OS system as well or not??

[efraimarenas]

Excellent product and great tutorial.

[hustletv]

been using/buying your products since 2k!

[videonut1991]

Top of the line software i re-imaged twice and even a buddy's computer with great results also those who are looking for a bootable cd with this on it google search hiren's boot cd

[car377]

Very nicely done - a perfect adjunct to the program's GUI. One question - where is the volume shadow services filesystem copy stored, and is it a complete copy of the filesystem, or is the shadowing done piecemeal as the backup proceeds? If it is a complete copy, then it won't fit on the drive being backed up unless that drive is less than 50% full, and it won't fit on the destination location drive if that drive doesn't have enough space for both the VSS filesystem copy and the backup files.

this is a solid piece of software wish you'd release the source code

[bladez178]

how big will the back up be? (like half the hard drive or etc.) if i put the back up in my thumbdrive then update my comp to windows 7 and re-download it i get all my old files back right?

[mrdreamers4u]

im replaceing a 30g hd with a 500g pata hd on my dell so i guess i have to install it and then reformat but i dont want to lose my data ans settings because i already did i reformat not to long ago so my question is how do i put my data stuff on cd instead of putting it into my computer? because im replaceing my hard drive not adding one:P

[syvehc1]

Don't bother with this crappy software! Use Ghost, Acronis, Clonezilla, or FOG. Tech support staff is rude and unprofessional. Not to mention the software has severe limitations. If you like screwing yourself then this is the software for you.

Sorry I just have to tell everyone the truth!

[fullscreenahead]

It's a pretty well presented demonstration. It would be better if the demo covered the feature that is likely the most valuable: "Drive to Drive", i.e. cloning one hard drive to another without making an image file in between.

[randhirprakash]

Good Tutorial !

[ChuckieIllinois]

A crucial step, as buried in the text that comes with DriveImage: "If your drive still does not boot you can try to set a new "Disk ID". Windows remembers old drive letter assignments which can cause problems when trying to boot from a cloned drive. You can force the removal of old drive letter assignments by setting a new Disk ID. Click Tools->Set new Disk ID and read the instructions."

[darthmal]

I tried this and was successful. But, After swapping the drives, I cannot boot from the new drive. Is there something else that has to be done? Thanks!

[Eremon1]

Okay, I appreciate your idea, but the video needs to be edited badly. Nobody wants to watch a video that is mostly dead time. For youtube videos it's a great idea to be concise.

[pokiebo]

i can't find volume shadowing service in the services list so I can't start it....HELP

[roopjean]

Simply Awesome , but how to extract the back up on the new computer? is there any part 2 of this Tutorial?URL?

[somegeek]

Solid tutorial man - thanks!

[premiermc]

im running vista but the C drive is not shown! Just my USB drive, what am I doing wrong?

[BryanBeatsYouAll]

i know you posted this a month ago and may have found this out but simply right click the exe file and run it as an administrator. i had this problem as well.

[KindredPhantom]

Very nice. A good comprehensive tutorial.

The software seems like a good free alternative backup software.

[omairhe]

wow it works. i had to see the instructions and its all goood.

[omairhe]

can someone tell me if "drive to drive" option can be used for upgrading hard drive (80gb to 160gb) in a laptop using this software. my current drive is single partition C:/

[pauldwalker]

at 2:40, it says that it wont let you resize the copy, but that you would need to use a partition manager afterwards to alter your paritions to the new size.

[umchoyka]

That's only if you use the "Raw mode" option when backing up the drive.

[darktuber]

TYVM! Thanks alot!

[jack123ie]

Great, great software.

Installing it now.

Amazing knowledge too - you guys are tops!

[tedted777]

Please show me how to use a bootable cd to move an image to a network share, then from a network share onto the new drive.thanks.

[Merlin1940]

tedted777: this would require from RTSW (RunTime SoftWare) to write things that are not specific to Disk Imaging. Better let them devote all their resources to doing well the core: imaging a not-in-use HD (implying at least one reboot); restoring that image on an OTHER hard disk (again implying another reboot), that MUST, without any other command than the I/O key, boot from the image of the main partition.
