(the BartPE XP boot is pretty cool however:-). Tried 2x to restore my Vista image with Driveimage XML with same, non-working result as I explained earlier. 72000 file errors when running a chkdsk, but is is posible that it works with an XP OS, don't know that, not gooing to try... -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 1:44 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Bad drive Hi Erwin: Thanks for that information.

At least for Windows Vista. Driveimage XML, uses the shadow copy function from Windows to make a filecopy (technicaly it does not image a drive). The restore process ran without any error, but when investigating the drive not much files where present. I ran chkdsk on the restored drive and had 72000 floating (tranlated from dutch) files, chkdsk corrected some entries, but every time I ran chkdsk I got several thousends of floating files and next time several thousends of wrong index entries. The system and software registry files where corrupt and not usable. For desktops I uses my old quarterdeck image center/partition magic (now from symantec), but this does not support servers. I also have recently bought Vcom partition commander for which I'm pretty satisfied. Only thing I miss is that I can not create disk images to a file (like Quarterdesk), it's only disk-to-disk.

It is one of my servers and though all the individual files are backed up I would like to do an image restore as apposed to a re-install. What program would you recommend to do a complete image backup so a new drive can be image resorted? One program that I have looked at is DriveImage XML (http://www.runtime.org/dixml.htm) but I have heard nothing good or bad about this app. MTIA Jim _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
