Which utility allow one to create a recovery image

Postby cas » Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:22 am

On the same drive but on a different partition just like those branded pc and laptop, like compaq, hp which comes with recovery image/application on the drive itself, without having to use the recovery cd

I've try my hand on clonezilla and it seem to allow me to clone a parition/drive with all the stuff inside but not image or apps

Norton ghost should be able to do so.

I see but then all along i used seatools to test those maxtor or seagate drive as it is a diagnostic tool that helps one quickly determine the condition of the disk drive in your external hard drive, desktop or laptop computer. As it includes several tests that will examine the physical media on your Seagate or Maxtor disk drive and any other non-Seagate disk drive.

Hmm does it come with cloning feature and could it be used on other drive like hitachi or WD?

I just recently used Seatools to clone my Seagate drive to a Western Digital, and that running Win 7. No reason it won't work with any brand of drive. It's free, so you can just give it a try. As long as it sees the drives, you should be fine. And, it makes a perfect "clone" of the original drive, so nothing is lost.

I just used this Acronis True Image for the first time and it works great. I just got another SSD from somebody on the TRP and used that software. It was like I had never change drives.
