Hello Raymond. I thought you were lost to us. But, this is so timely!. Trying to make an image of drive c.. Since it was not compatible GPT why do they not follow the movement? Did they intend to do it? When we ran our imaging software tests a while back the speed and compression ratios of Driveimage XML were awful, you get the feeling from the program they have done very little to it apart from minor fixes etc for many years.
Yes, a great article. Perhaps I need more experience in cloning! One other item that some folks like to do is clean out all of the crud at least with CCleaner , check for empty folders, defrag, check for malware, etc. Thanks jasray, these three are pretty much our favorite free imaging apps, EaseUs ToDo is probably number 4 or 5 on our list.
AOMEI is still relatively new but has been very good during all out tests over the months, which is why Paragon and EaseUs have been pushed down….
Hi all.. First of all thanks Ray for this article…at last I have found an article to backup your disk other than Ghost.. Anyway, just came across this wonderful site today that informed me of the lovely macrium software. I actually went ahead and purchased it. I had it verified, and i can browse through the backup no problem. The program lets you mount the image onto a virtual disc it can create for you temporarily to allow you to do this.
I received an email in only about 15 minutes time showing ordering info, order number, license number and yes it did work , and contact info again, etc. You pay for it, they give it to you. Very delighted I found this site. Ive always wanted to make an image of my C drive, but never successful, because Norton Ghost basically sucks. I hate it. Too difficult to use too. This looks and sounds easy.
