Disk Imaging software, which do you use?
05.02.09 at 12:37:42
 

I'm just thinking of using this on one of my Win95 platforms, but I've got trouble finding an old Disk imaging program that will work with Win95. Does anyone have a good idea what to use? Maybe an old version of Norton Ghost?

Older versions of CloneCD don't work? For floppy disks you could give WinImage a go.

Cloning of harddrives: get the DOS version of Ghost (version 8 for example) or use Linux and try out 'dd' command.

I recently found a freeware tool called LC ISO Creator. Very small, one executable and it can make ISO's quickly.

I personally prefer ImgBurn [which is also freeware] -

Sorry guys, I ment to say Harddisk Imaging software, not CD cloning, to quickly put an image back for benchmarking.

Isn't Ghost 8.0 from like 2003? DOS/Win95 was still supported in that?

I have a version, although you have to buy it, that works fine on DOS Smiley. In case you want to do it for free just use Linux (either install it, LiveCD or install the harddrive into a Linux system and prepare/write the image) and the 'dd' command.

I would recommend Hiren's Boot CD.  It is a bootable disc that has a ton of awesome tools.  It has a version of Ghost that will back up whatever you have regardless of the OS.  (it is nice because you don't do anything in Windows, it's done at boot)

"Hiren's Boot CD is a boot CD containing various diagnostic programs such as partitioning agents, system performance benchmarks, disk cloning and imaging tools, data recovery tools, MBR tools, BIOS tools, and many others for fixing various computer problems. It is a Bootable CD; thus, it can be useful even if the primary operating system cannot be booted. Hiren's Boot CD has an extensive list of software. Utilities with similar functionality on the CD are grouped together and seem redundant; however, they present choices through UI differences."

Hey that's great, thank you very much, I had one of those CD's in the past, but I don't think it included Ghost.

Brilliant, I'm going to check that out. Smiley

Thank you, but it's just for my hard disk. Smiley
