Tallassee Alabama | | I know that this is probably an ugly test but I need to be able to do this. I was making a copy of an 8GB compact flash that had a 3.8GB EXT2 file system on it. The program came back after making the image and said that it failed create the image (it did leave an image file though). The image that was created, when place on a new disk wouldn't boot.
Any ideas? |

South Australia | | | If you imaged the disk as a physical disk (which im assuming you did for EXT2!) it SHOULD boot off the new disk. The disk you imaged it too is definately in the boot device list in your bios?? Did you image it back to a physical disk or into a partition such as C:?? |

Mainz / Germany | | | When I create an image of a 512MB CF, it's not possible to transfer this image to another 512MB CF (error at 99.75%), except I cancel creating the image before reaching the 100%. No problem so far. Now I have a CF, which has some written sectors at the end, and after writing the image to the new CF, I get the error from Windows that the CF is not formated. I allready tried to move these sectors by defraging the CF with the Windows tool (XP) and with th Piriform Defraggler, but it still doesn't work. Any solutions? |

South Australia | | Very strange! Normally if you write 99% of an image the disk should work fine because all the data is at the start... Dont have a simple solution for this one sorry!

South Australia | | hi there... thanks for the bug report... sounds like its not detecting the disk size correctly. What brand MP3 player is it?
CHeers!

cairo | | | well ,It's anonymous I guess "Astra"(a chinese one) .... but it lists the device twice, once as a partition and again as a drive with slightly different sizes |

South Australia | | The detecting twice is normal - The physical drive can contain more information that the logical one. For example on a normal hard disk the first sector is the disks partition table, followed by 62 other sectors. After this the first logical drive starts. Its also possible for one physical disk to hold many logical drives if its partitioned into pieces. This is why the option appears twice.
As for the disk size, ill have to investigate this one and see what i can find for you!
Cheers

GER | | In general I have only two issues with the Disk Image 1.6 tool:
1. Detecting drives / partitions from USB devices (USB card reader) does not work at all for me (WinXP) - I need to run e.g. SelfImage v1.2 to detect the currently available disks (I currently work with CF cards only)
2. Write of a complete disk (CF) does not work on a Win7 Operating system at all, as far as I can see only partitions can be written |

Moldova | | Hello, I wrote some time ago a letter through WEB interface to esteemed Roadkil, but got no reaction, so I write again here.
DiskImage doesn't work correctly under Windows 7. Actually it can't write to UFD!
A possible solution to get it work was described here:

Please, Mr.Roadkil, if you are still interested in developing DiskImage, have a look on this info. |
