markymoo Well I tried everything and I can't restore the DS image without running the Win7 dvd and fixing the Win7 vhd part of the bcd. At least...
markymoo Yes, you make good points. What boot manager would you suggest? Just some more info on my testing. I DID manage to get my drive...
markymoo Yes, people say it works but in my case I'm using a .vhd for Win7 so whether the word "boot" in the command line is enough for the boot...
markymoo This is what I have been trying to do with drive snapshot and all my above posts around xmas time. I still can't do it, although today...
I could try that, but then the question becomes do all existing imaging apps do the same thing in this case? I'm going to try Macrium Reflect and...
Pajenn I believe it does NOT use that 100MB partition because I can see a hidden "boot" folder in the main root directory of my WinXP C drive. I...
Well, happy new year! Finally got time to try this again and results are still poor. Here is what I did Took pandlouk's advice and built a...
Actually no, I've been using drive snapshot within windows.
Panagiotis Just to get it clear, when you say zero the disk signature of my internal drive first then restore the disk signature to the...
I will try this when I get back. Must I do it in this order - 1. Restore partition structure 2. Restore image to HD 3. Restore disk signature...
Panagiotis Here is the exact procedure I used to add a Win7 .vhd installation to my system....
Hi Brian I will try that app next. I was reading around also and I might try after the image is created on the eSATA, connect that eSATA HD to...
Well, I just ran keriver Image 5.0 on my system to test my scenario of main HD failure with a WinXP partition which includes a .vhd of Win7. I...
Ok, I went through the manual. Made my snapshot, rebooted and could see the new boot menu, everything starts fine. I get into WinXP, then I shut...
Well I just installed keriver 1-click free to try. So it uses 2 drives, one to store snapshots (images) and one for other files. Ok, I see I...
I am ready to purchase 1-Click Restore Pro but did I read on another thread something about having to be on the internet for activation? Is this...
I guess IFW is the best, it can do both so I'll check it out. Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions. Why don't you like cloners for backup? I see Terabyte also has Copywipe, maybe that would work? Oops, copywipe...
Hi Brian What app would you suggest to do a clone that works with Win7? Since I seem to like this method better maybe I should look for a real...
Panagiotis I see what your saying but you want me to clear the disk signature of my main hard drive so I can restore the image to the eSATA...
Just found out about the special and was going to purchase 1CRP but now website has Image 5.0. What's the difference between these two...
Panagiotis Thanks for confirming that. This is what I did. Boot into WinXP and run drive snapshot to create image of my XP partition which also...
Hi Brian I can't remember exactly (hard to do screen capture at that stage), but it was a hardware problem relating to the GUID. Win7 does...
I have a question on DriveSnapshot. I have been having an extremely hard time making it image a combo partition of WinXP along with a .vhd of...
