Chapter 1: Product Overview
DriveClone creates a complete disk image of a hard drive or a single hard drive partition. The image can be used for backup and recovery, to quickly transfer all information from a computers hard drive to a new hard drive. The image file can also be distributed across multiple hard drives or partitions DriveClones compressible image file contains all of the hard drive data files, partition information and security settings, by copying only the used data sectors to keep the size of the image to a minimum. The complete disk image can now be updated quickly with incremental backups; the incremental backup contains only the hard drive changes that have occurred since the complete backup was created, or since the last incremental backup. This offers the user an easy and reliable way to keep system backup data current, by storing the images on an external USB hard drive, CD or DVD set, or on a network share. The user would then be able to quickly recover from any type of data disaster, including data corruption or hard drive failure. System administrators will appreciate DriveClones ability to dramatically reduce the time they spend configuring multiple systems, installing software, or restoring multiple systems to an original image.

5.1 FAQ

When I restored a partition from an image file, it prompted me There is not enough space on the Destination Partition. However, Im sure the free space on the Destination Partition is larger than the used space in the Source Partition. A: If the data on the end of the Source Partition cannot be moved, DriveClone will prompt you with this notice. Even if the free space on Destination Partition is larger than the used space in the Source Partition. Q4. If the source partition is a bootable partition (e.g. C:\) but the target partition is not, can the target partition be used to boot the system after restoration? A: Yes, however please follow the instruction shown below. 1. Modify your boot.ini file. a. If you are in DOS, enter the boot partition (C:\) and type edit boot.ini to modify this file. b. If you are in Windows, the file boot.ini may be hidden. Select Show hidden files and folder from tools->folder options from the menu bar to show boot.ini, then open it.

Q5. I installed DriveClone on two different operating systems (Windows 2000 and XP) on my computer. After I removed DriveClone from Windows 2000, why is the program on Windows XP unusable? 23
A: Uninstalling DriveClone from one operating system will result in the removal of the program in the other operating systems as well. Q6. I cloned a hard drive using the Clone Disk function. Why cant I boot from the cloned drive? A: This may happen if Norton GoBack is installed on your computer. Please uninstall Norton GoBack before cloning the drive. Q7. I have connected a USB hard drive or a USB CD/DVD recorder to the system, why cant the device be recognized by DriveClone? A: Please try the following methods (1) If you plugged in the USB hard drive after launching DriveClone, please insert your USB drive and then restart your computer and try again. (2) Disable the USB 2.0 Controller in BIOS or set USB to Hi Speed in the BIOS USB settings. Q8. I created an image for Drive C: on two CD-R discs. Why cant the disc be mounted as a temporary partition? A: Mounting a partition requires all the backup data of the drive. If you use one of two discs, it cannot provide the complete information. To solve this problem, copy the image files from the two discs to the hard drive and then mount it as a temporary partition. This problem cannot be overcome by using multiple CD/DVD drives. Q9. When I created a Recovery CD/DVD, an error message Move Data Error appears. A: This error may occur if the quality of the recordable CD/DVD media is not good, or the disc is incompatible with the recorder. To solve this problem, please try a different brand of CD/DVD media or upgrade your CD/DVD recorder. Q10. Are there any limitations when I restore from an image over the network? A: DriveClone can restore an image file size below 2GB when restoring from a network location. When backing up an image to a network location, DriveClone can automatically split the file into several volumes with a maximum size of 2GB each. You can select the first volume of the image to be restored. If you have an image that is over 2GB on the network share, you cannot restore over the network. The file must be copied back to the local computer prior to restoration. Q11. Why cant I find all backup files in the Backup files List? A: There are two possible scenarios. Case 1: The core files of your System Partition were lost or re-initialized after restoring the System Partition. Case 2: The partition which was backed up in your backup files has been resized. In both scenarios, the backup files which contain the old partition information of this hard drive are no longer valid and therefore removed from the backup file list. Q12. Do I need to do anything before installing DriveClone? A: We strongly recommend that you run the Windows Checkdisk program to check for hard drive errors prior to install DriveClone. The Checkdisk utility can be started by running Chkdsk.exe from a command prompt or by using the DriveClone, Pre-Installation Checklist tool. Note: Running Checkdisk from either location will require a system restart for the operation to be completed. Q13. Can DriveClone fix the system after my hard drive has been mistakenly formatted or repartitioned? A: DriveClone can fix the system only if it was installed prior to the data lost.
