(This actually worked well enough for me when I needed it it was a quick hack one day when I needed an image of my PC to bring up under a virtual system) There's really not much more than this to most low-level backup utilities apart from a little GUI magic and maybe some error recovery, and (depending on the C compiler and library) more efficient blocked I/O calls. Something not many people are aware of is that there is a special device name you can access which is treated (mostly) just like a regular file, which gives you access to your raw disk image - for example, \\.\C: or \\.\PhysicalDrive0Īlso (I haven't tried these) I believe there are: \\.\Zero (pseudo device returning NULs), and possibly: \\.\PhysicalDrive0\Partition0įor the programmers among us, the short program below will copy a raw drive to a regular file on another drive. So, either Acronis 8 or Marcrium Reflect for me to stay free and righteous. Sadly, my notebook has a Western Digital instead.

Can't afford to buy but don't want to pirate - I work in a software house so I understand the pain.įor anyone using Seagate or Maxtor hard disks, you can actually get Acronis True Image (v10 or v11?) for free! It's the OEM re-branded version and can only work if the PC has at least one Seagate or Maxtor drive - even the boot CD won't work to create images. Thanks but that's where I got my Acronis, hehe. Only thing that would have improved the process would be to have a whole drive clone, that would avoid producing the backup image files and just get on with the clone operation.

I stored the intermediary image files of the partitions on the drive onto a spare 1TB USB drive and then restored them to the new 250G drive running in a USB enclosure, set it to restore the MBR from that stored in the image file and once all was complete, swapped over the drives, and much to my suprise Vista booted, intially to the screen asking if I want to boot in safe mode becuase windows was not shut down properly or startup normally, I chose the latter and when it logged in it installed drive specific drivers for the new HD and volume and from then onwards it's just worked! Very painless, no need to repair the boot process.

I spent quite a bit of time searching for and trying various drive cloning utilities and nothing I found would preserve the file systems properly.Īs a last resort I decided to give this giveaway a try, it had been installed when this was on offer but I had no reason to actually use it until now.
