image will overwrite all information on the hard drive, including saved files.
2.After you click [Y]es. You will be presented with two options: [Create New Backup] and [Restore Backup].
After you click [Create New Backup], follow the on- screen instructions. By selecting [Create New Backup], a new image will be written to your backup partition. This will overwrite any previously created image.
Creating a backup image from the desktop
To create a backup image from the desktop, select Drive Image SE from the Program list. You will initially be prompted to create a backup diskette. It is not necessary to create the backup diskette, since the DAR CD performs the same function.
1.At the Drive Image Special Edition main screen, click Options> Create New Backup. DISE displays a warning that it must go to DOS to create the image.
3. Click Yes.
DISE creates an image file in the backup partition. If you created a backup image previously, the new image overwrites the old one.
Enlarging the Backup Partition
If there is not enough unused space in the backup parti- tion on your hard disk, DISE will resize the partition. DISE will display the minimum, maximum, and recom- mended sizes for the backup partition. You choose the size you want.
DISE takes the space from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition that you are backing up. If there is not enough unused space in that partition to take, you will not be able to resize the backup partition and create an image file. You can delete files from the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS partition to create more unused space on the hard disk.
Restoring a Backup Image
You can restore either a factory image or a backup image you created. Be aware that restoring a backup image will replace the contents of the C:\ partition with the image you restore.
1.Disable virus protection software. If virus protection software is enabled, DISE will hang.
2.From the DISE main window, click Options > Restore Backup to restore an image you created, or click Options > Restore Factory Backup to restore the factory image.
DISE shuts down to DOS and restores the image file.
