View Full Version : not offered "split" or "fix size" in safety zone

Just when I thought I had everything sorted out ....

When I attempt to create an image in the safety zone there is no longer a page offering "fix image size". I'm sure there used to be ?!

I thought maybe I was going crazy and not seeing the page but I deleted the safety zone and went through the motions of creating an image on a regular partition and got asked "what size to spit the files into ?".

any ideas, thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

There never has been an option to split an image when creating it to the Secure Zone.

The reason for splitting an image in the first place is so that it can be copied to CD or DVD. As other Windows applications can't access the SZ (that's why it's "secure" ;)) you wouldn't be able to get at the image in order to burn it. Hence the Create Image Wizard sensibly omits the split image option when creating it to the SZ.

Regards
