ƒ DriveClone Image
A DriveClone image is the file that contains the contents of a computer’s hard drive or partition(s). Using this image,
you can copy the entire contents of a hard drive to a portable medium such as a recordable CD/DVD, USB drive or to
another hard drive.

ƒ Recovery CD/DVD
The Recovery CD/DVD allows end users to start their systems by inserting this disc into their CD/DVD-ROM drive.
Once the system is booted up, the Recovery CD/DVD will restore the system automatically based on the content
contained on the Recovery CD/DVD.

ƒ Clone (Copy) partition/drive

The term "cloning" refers to the physical reading of all sectors of source partition/disk and subsequent writing of this
raw sector information to the corresponding sectors of destination partition/disk. The size, file system formats, brand
of the source partition/disk and target partition/disk can be different, you do not even need to format the destination

5.1 FAQ

Q1. How long does it take to backup/restore a system using DriveClone Personal?

A: It depends on the amount of data on your system. However, DriveClone Personal’s unique technology minimizes
the amount of time it takes to backup the system.

Q2. I launched DriveClone Personal in Windows, but a message indicates that I must restart my computer
in order to run DriveClone Personal?

A: You have to reboot your computer after the installation of DriveClone Personal. Therefore, you must reboot your
computer to run DriveClone Personal.

Q3. When I restored a partition from an image file, it prompted me “There is not enough space on the
Destination Partition.” But I’m sure the free space on the Destination Partition is larger than the used
space in the Source Partition, why?

A: If the data on the end of the Source Partition cannot be moved, DriveClone Personal will prompt you with this
notice. Even if the free space on Destination Partition is larger than used space in the Source Partition. The same
error may occur in Partition/Disk Clone.

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. Please do the following:

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 might be hidden. Select Show hidden files and folder
from tools->folder options from the menu bar to show boot.ini, then open it (the default path to the
boot.ini file is C:\boot.ini).
2. Add the following to boot.ini:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(X)partition(Y)\Folder=" Description "
X: is the HDD (hard drive) number, generally defined as 0 – 3. Number 0 is the primary master, 1 is the
primary slave, 2 is the secondary primary and 3 is the secondary slave;
Y: is the partition ID, generally defined as 0-25, 0 is for the first partition.
Folder: is the place storing the boot file (this is not the boot.ini file). If your system is Windows NT/2000, it
should be defined as WINNT. If your system is Windows XP, it should be Windows.
Description is for adding comments for the options listed on the splash screen at system startup.

Q5. I installed DriveClone Personal on two operating systems (Windows 2000 and XP) on my
computer. After I removed DriveClone Personal from Windows 2000, why is the program on Windows XP
unusable?

A: Uninstalling DriveClone Personal from one operating system will result in the removal of the program in the other
operating systems also.

Q6. I cloned a hard drive using the Clone Disk function. Why can I not 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 is it not recognized
by DriveClone Personal or will not work with DriveClone Personal in Pre-OS?
A: If you cannot see the USB device in DriveClone Personal, there are two possible reasons:

40
 (1) DriveClone Personal does not support plug-and-play. If the USB device is plugged in after you launch
DriveClone Personal, you will not see the device. In this case, you can connect the USB device before launching
DriveClone Personal
(2) The settings of the USB Controller on the motherboards BIOS may also influence the use of DriveClone
Personal. Please try the following two methods to resolve this issue:
●disable the USB 2.0 Controller;
●set USB to “Hi Speed” in the BIOS USB settings.

Q8. I created an image for Drive C: on two CD-R discs. Why can the disc not be used to mount 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, you can first copy the image files from the two discs to the hard drive
and then use it to mount a temporary partition. This problem cannot be overcome by using multiple CD drives.

Q9. When I created a Recovery CD/DVD, it failed and prompted an error message “Move Data Error”.
Why?
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 replace the media with a higher quality disc or upgrade your CD/DVD
recorder.

Q10. Are there any limitations when I restore from an image over the network?
A: DriveClone Personal can restore an image file sized below 2GB when restoring from a network location. When
backing up an image to a network location, DriveClone Personal 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. But, if you
share an image stored in an NTFS partition that is over 2GB, you cannot restore from it on another computer over
the network; this file must be copied back to the local computer to perform a successful restore
