Hi All
Figured it was time for me to try out creating an image file of my hard disk - so I got a trial version of DriveImagePro - it created a 4GB Image file - then I used DriveImagePro to create an .iso file of this image file
I am doing this as a test so I am prepared to reformat my test FAT32 drive - then I want to restore everything the way it was
I figure I need to create a bootable DVD - but how do I go about restoring this image file?
DriveImagePro says that I need to be a registered user in order to be able to use their bootable CD/DVD:
" When you wish to restore a system drive, you must use the O&O DiskImage Start CD and start the restoration from there. "
Is there any other way?
TIA

probably not. you might want to try a free utility.

Be aware that some imaging software will restore an image to a hard drive of identical size only.
If you are using XP, I'd check out Ultimate Boot CD for Windows. Great tool for disasters and includes a number of free imaging products. -
Thanks for the links - I have looked at these before - I need to fully digest the info re Ultimate Boot CD - hopefully I can figure it out
