Seeking a *special kind* of imaging program

I am seeking an imaging software that:

1- Can image to an external HD

2- Provides for making a boot floppy disk (3.5) that will enable restoring the image from an external HD

3- Is simple enough for use by a 9-year-old

Any & all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

Bellgamin,

I am not sure if all of your criteria can be met here, but bits du jour is offering Image for windows at half price today.

I am using Shadowprotect on my main rig and am happy with that but will grab this copy for one of my other pc (and to test). Maybe someone else can chime in and already tell you how good this one is.

 

Imaging is an adult process and should not be undertaken by a 9-year-old.

A 9-year-old should just enjoy the computer and may wreak their OS and software in the process.

 

Paragon Backup and Recovery Free is what I use. It has incremental and full backup capabilities, its simple, its fast, and it works with external HD's (this was a big part for me).

 

i too would have recommended paragon but i don't think it supports 3.5 floppy disk. it does support a bootable cd image though.

 

IFW is excellent, but not for a 9 years old I suppose.

Other simple-to-use solutions are :
Keriver Image
Macrium Reflect

 

I'm confused(still).
Don't most of the imaging programs have the ability to restore from external hard drive after using the boot cd/dvd?
Why the need for the floppy?
Also, Shadowprotect is rock solid but I would not recommend it for a child unless you feel that he/she is advanced for their age.

the old dos Ghost
is still amazing
it's updated (drivers) Norton Ghost 11.5.1 Similar to Drive Image (with usb/scsi support)

 

i forget Drive SnapShot 1.40, it can make a boot disk

but does Drive SnapShot 1.40 boot disk have a gui ?

 

The use of such discs is not recommended; it is warez and illegal. Please do not suggest that here.

 

sorry man i got it

did not know is not legal , i thought it 's a collection of freeware


sorry again my stupidity
