| 381882 | 2005-08-18 11:03:00 | Image file is like taking a photo of your hard drive then using that to impose an exact copy of the software caputered in that image file on another hard drive, good for backups. In this case though I know for a fact that Drive Image will let you do a disk copy (called disk to disk)from one to another producing an exact replica of the first on the secound inclusive of all partitions. One word of warning though ensure you defrag your master harddrive before imaging because any file errors (such as lost clusters) are also catured in the imaging process, guess that is what is meant by EXACT copy |

| 381883 | 2005-08-19 04:25:00 | Great thanks for the explaining guys... My current 120 hdd split into 3 partitions is C:\, D:\ and E:\ .... so if I get a new 120gig drive, partition into 3 parts and then attach to my pc via an usb external hdd case and do a 'complete clone' of each partition onto the new drive... When I replace my new hdd with the old, will the drive letters on my new drive automatically switch back to C:\ D:\ and E:\? I'm going to go check out Drive Image now... Thanks again for everyone's help! Much appreciated. M. |
