Active@ Disk Image 6.0.1
Updated
February 28, 2014
Added full support for exFAT file system
Added minimization of windows into tray during creating/restoring/cloning/copying/verifying
Removed text log settings (now created automatically)
Minor improvements and bug fixes

 

I downloaded it a few days ago. Still no support for an x64 based restore disc that supports Secure Boot/UEFI computers. Only 32 bit. Severe disappointment!!

 

HAN,

Does this only work for a 32-bit Win8?

It still does not support cold backup/restore of Win8.1. Will cause BCD store error that renders your computer unbootable.

 

Strange. Even 14 year old Ghost 2003 can do that with Win8.1. (successful cold backup/restore of Win8.1)

 

exactly, done hundreds of backups/restores of win 8 64-bit and many of win 8.1

oliverjia,

I'd forgotten you have a UEFI system. My tests with Active@ Disk Image were with a MBR system.

Do you think this might help? Just a guess.

I can confirm that Active@ Disk Image does work from a UFD created in a Win8.1 64-bit OS. I used the free Active@ Disk Image version.

By "does work" I mean that the program loads and does backups. I didn't try a restore.

 

Dear Brian,

Thanks for your help. Yes I used a Win8pe live cd to run ADI as a portable app. It does backup OK but will cause some error after restore. I guess it should be fine if you only restore to C: partition and leave the other GPT partitions untouched.

 

I just wish LSoft would end the issue by flat out supporting cold boot restores for systems with x64 UEFI/Secure Boot. Who is left besides them that don't??

 

Changes in Active@ Disk Image 6.0.2:
– Added support for SMTP servers not requiring authentications;
– Minor GUI fix
