Chapter 3: Creating Image Files with Drive Image DOS30
Advanced Options
The Create Image Advanced Options dialog appears when you click Advanced
Options at the Ready To Create Image File screen.
Select this: To do this:
Check for File System
Errors
Clear the Check for File System Errors check box if you
want to disable error checking.
If you have already used a disk utility program such as
ScanDisk or CheckDisk to check your hard disk for errors, it
is not necessary to have Drive Image check for file system
errors. Clearing Check for File System Errors saves time
in copying the partitions.
If you did not run a disk utility program before loading
Drive Image, leave the Check for File System Errors check
box selected. Be aware that ScanDisk/CheckDisk finds more
errors than the Check feature in Drive Image.
Disable SmartSector
Copying
Drive Image’s SmartSector technology speeds up the
copying process by only copying clusters and sectors that
contain data. However, in some cases, such as high-security
environments, it may be desirable to copy all clusters and
sectors in their original layout, whether or not they contain
data.
If you wish to copy both used and unused clusters and
sectors, click Disable SmartSector Copying. Disabling
SmartSector copying increases processing time and image
file size.
Verify Disk Writes Select this option if you want Drive Image to verify that data
is being written to disk. Verifying disk writes is not
necessary and can slow image file creation substantially.
If you are creating an image file to CD-R, this option is
selected by default and performs a different function. After
burning the image file to a CD, Drive Image will check to
see that the image file can be read from the CD. If there is a
problem with the image, you will have an opportunity to
recreate it.
