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!

I think 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.

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.”

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!

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.

Very nice. A good comprehensive tutorial.
The software seems like a good free alternative backup software.

That’s only if you use the “Raw mode” option when backing up the drive.

I think 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.

I think 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.
