3.5. Creating a Disk Image
A Disk Image is a copy of the contents of the hard drive compressed
into a single file. Disk Image can be useful for backup purposes or, even for analysis
by other utilities.
Using Active@ UNERASER a Disk Image can be created for the entire
hard disk drive, or for a selected logical drive. Use the following steps for this
purpose:
- Run Active@ UNERASER for DOS.
- Select the physical drive or logical drive for which the Disk
Image is to be created.
- Press [Ctrl]+[I]. The data path screen appears.
- Select the path on another logical or network drive where the
Disk Image will be saved.
(!) Note: A
Disk Image can only be saved on a FAT or a network
drive.
- Once the path is selected, press [Enter]. A progress screen
appears. Watch the process and wait until the Disk Image is
completed.
To cancel this process press the [Esc] key at any time.
Figure 3-15 Disk Image Creation in Progress
The Disk Image is copied onto a set of files named Drive_80h.hdd.
The file size is 1Gb. If your disk image is larger than 1Gb, a series of files will be
created and named with consecutive numbers, e.g. Drive_80h.001, Drive_80h.002... Each file
will be 1Gb or smaller. This is because Microsoft DOS does not support files
larger than 2GB.
If a single Disk Image file is required, the individual files can
be merged manually.
3.5.1 Command Line Method
In the commercial version of Active@ UNERASER, run the software
with the Disk Image parameter, as below:
A:\>UNERASER.EXE -image80h=E:\BACKUPS
Please see a listing of Command Line parameters below.
