My Answer to 'Server 2003 - Best Software To Make Drive Image?'

July 22, 2007

Thanks to all whom responded on my first post below.

I tried DriveImage XML many times but the restore never worked. I was

experimenting on a XP Pro machine with creating an image of my SATA boot

drive to another SATA for storage and then back to a spare IDE drive I have.

Yes, I did format and made the partition active and the other options. The

machine would never boot.

Then came Snapshot. Never would boot. No help on the website. I went through

all the options one by one to make sure it was not a wrong setting.

'Image for Windows' worked fine. I tried it on several drives and XP never

had a problem with anything. The price is not bad at all so I am going to

recommend getting this one. Today I will visit the Server and make an image

to return home and I should be able to restore it like the others.
