Title: Bootable CD Creator
Post by: Glock22 on August 03, 2002, 10:20:47 AM

I seems that the Japanese version of Drive Image 2002 has a utility called Bootable CD Creator from a company called NetJapan. It seems that this utility can be used to make a bootable CD with your disk image included, which would allow you to restore a backup image incase your system is not bootable.

What I want to know is where can I get this utility or the Japanese version of Drive Image 2002? I don\'t care if the app is still in Japanese or not, I\'m sure I can figure it out. If anyone has any info on this, I\'d appreciate it.

I\'ve used Drive Image since version 3 and wouldn\'t go without it, as it\'s saved my butt a few times. Only problem is, I can\'t get it to write to a CD-R without locking up about halfway through every time. I end up with a bootable Drive Image restore cd but no Image is on the disk. So, Where can I find the Japanese version of Drive Image or just this utility by itself??? I\'ll gladly buy it if I can just find it as it is exactly what I\'ve been looking for. I\'ve also email Powerquest as to why they haven\'t included this utility in America and a request that they do so.

Someone please help out here!!!


Thanks

Here is what I do.
1. Make a boot floppy with CD support.Edit the Autoexec.bat so that it goes to your CD drivre
    when it loads.
2. Use ghost 2002 or one of the versions with support for writing to cd\'s, to make an image
    of your HD to the CD.During it\'s creation, it will ask if you want to make this CD bootable.
3.Insert the boot floppy with CD support.
4.When it is finished reading the floppy, continue making the image.
5.To restore the image start the ghost executable and restore the image from the CD.

Depending on the size of your HD,ghost is able to span media,so you may end up with more than 1 CD.
