Drive Image 7 and Net framework

General Software Discuss, Drive Image 7 and Net framework at Software forum; I am considering using Drive Image7 to make a backup of my drive with Operating System (win 2000) and programs, updates drivers etc...... in case of a disaster. I understand that netframework needs to be installed. Anyone use this program and have netframework installed ? Any conflicts with ripping burning

i have not used drive image in long time cause you have to swap disks alot ..I use ghost and I love it ... it will burn straight to burner and if you know ghost dos commands good you can make a bootup disk that loads back and you dont have to do anyting but put in new disks ....

ghost 2003 is what i use and works fine for me ..i have backup all operating systems and restored ...




cheers ..

???? there's no "disc swapping"

nmpaulcp:
Get a copy of DriveImage 2002, it'll do anything you need. The DOS version is still the most reliable, and even D.I. 7 uses the 2002 DOS program. Version 2002 is fully automated, can be scheduled via Windows task scheduler, and supports all current RAID controllers. D.I.-7 is still very much a beta.

I never write an image direct to CDR, it's too slow and if it gets messed up you have to start over. I can write it to HD, then burn to CDR in less time and with 100% success. Drive Image writes the image at night on a schedule, then I burn it later. No doubt, D.I.7 is pretty bloated and cumbersome.
Anyway, what is this Netframework stuff?

I know nothing about it but I read that it needs to be installed in order for DI7 to run.

From microsoft downloads:
The .NET Framework is a component of the Windows operating system. For developers, the .NET Framework makes it easy to rapidly create powerful software that maximizes performance, scalability, opportunities for integration, reliability, security, and the end-user experience, while minimizing the costs of deployment and management.

Windows users need to install the .NET Framework to run applications developed using the .NET Framework.
This release includes a number of enhancements over version 1.0 of the .NET Framework. Installing this release is a prerequisite for running applications developed using the .NET Framework 1.1. For more information about .NET Framework, see .NET Framework Home. (This site may be in English.)

Maybe someone who knows more about this Net thing will get on here and report, but it sounds very suspicious to me. More bloated MS spyware?

the .net framework is part of microsofts initiative to make programs able to be written in different languages, and work together. you can compile with lots of different languages, and have it work out in the end. the problem is, to run a program written in .net, you must install ms's .net framework, as you have discovered.

//found all this out with overnet

I use it and it works fine so far.
Creating an image from my C: drive (OS drive) from within Windows is a piece of cake.

I write the image to a separate hard drive.

Everything works fine, as far as I can tell.

What I have not yet figyred out, is how to restore the image if my OS drive crashes and I cannot get into windows.

I downloaded the software, so I don't have a CD. The help files keep referring to a 'PowerQuest Drive Image CD', which is supposed to be bootable, but nowhere does it say how to make one. Am I missing something, or do I need the original install CD?

You have to make the rescue floppies, so you can run the proggie from the floppy. I keep a small FAT partition on the main drive with all my DOS stuff on it, and a copy of the rescue floppy. Then I can just boot to any Win98 floppy and run "PQDI.exe" from the HD.
I highly recommend that you verify your image and do a restore from each of the possibly OS routes, so you "know" it works. The image does you very little good if you can't restore it from DOS.

You mean rescue floppies using Drive Image? Or WinXP rescue floppies?
In Drive Image 7 I have not found any indication of floppies...

In the start-programs-powerquest menu, there should be a link for creating rescue floppies. At least there is in every other version. You might check the manual. It used to be part of the install process too.

I know.
DriveImage 5 had floppies (it prompted you to create them during the install).
I never got that prompt from DriveImage 7.
Weird...

I can assure you that it's in there somewhere, it's covered in the documentation. The floppy will have a the same program as version 2002. (which is what gets installed in Win98)

Looks like I may be mistaken, they seem to be using the CD for rescue purposes. If you contact them they should send you a CD for a nominal fee. Seems pretty lame to have no way to do a DOS rescue on the downloaded version!

Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
I guess I'll grab Drive Image 2002 and give that a try...
Or reinstall my old Drive Image 5 and see if its floppies do the job...

The DI 5 floppy will work just fine, it may be missing one or 2 features, but it'll work (I think) with NTFS. It will not, however, play nice with burners.
