  • This should be titled "Image a Hard Drive" so as not to give the false impression that this demonstration will clone one hard drive to another in one step like some software can do

  • STOP. This is not CLONING. This is BACKING UP. Please amend title.

  • Great and helpful videos, thanks a lot...

  • this is not a Clone to recover a entier HDD if it crashed, this is only a backup for files.

    no info about to recover the system from these files this program create´s.

    use a proper Clone program, i use Norton Ghost with Norton Ghost boot CD to recover my system after a HDD failure or software failure.

  • Dude, your video title says HOW TO CLONE, then your actual video you calling it BACK UP!. Dude is it a clone or backup? what the heck?

  • Hey gigafide, you keep saying BACK UP DATA, not sure what data this software backups. I want an exact image (copy with software, everything the way it is in my windows xp). Im going to put an identical drive (new harddrive) into my labtop. So then i want to use the clone and copy back into a new drive. Is this what this software does?

  • @fullscreenahead the 4th line down it allows you to actually clone it.

  • @thrash0cycle While damaging, neither formatting nor deleting destroys data by design. Formatting is merely a preparation necessary for data writing; deleting is merely a marking of data as available for overwriting. The only way to truly erase data is to write meaningless data over top of it. Otherwise, data is only destroyed incidentally as it is gradually replaced with new data. This is not a bad thing, because unnecessary wear and energy should be required to always destroy data.

  • its not cloning and the information your telling to us is insifficient

  • @lordphilip Yes it will if you follow the instructions to the rule! I can definitely vouch this software works and nothing is missing on my system its as though the old drive is still there!

  • Worked for me Excellent software super tutorial Thankyou!!!
