Advanced Options The Create Image Advanced Options dialog box appears when you click
Advanced Options at the Ready To Create Image File screen.
Clear the Check for File System Errors check box if you want to disable file
system error checking.
If you have already used a disk utility program such as ScanDisk to chec k your
hard drive for errors, it is not necessary to have Drive Image check for file system
errors. Clearing the box Check for File System Errors saves time when creating
the image file.
If you did not run a disk check utility program before loading Drive Image, leav e
the Check for File System Errors check box selected.
Disable SmartSector Copying Drive Image’s SmartSector technology speeds up the imaging process by on ly
copying clusters and sectors which contain data. However, in some cases, such
as high-security environments, it may be desirable to co py all clusters and sectors
in their original layout, whether or not they contain data.
To copy both used and unused clusters and sectors, click Disable Sm artSector
Copying. Disabling SmartSector copying increases processing time and the size
of the generated .PQI file.
Verify Disk Writes Click Verify Disk Writes if you want to enable DOS disk write verification.
Disk write verification is not critical to safely create image files. Enabling disk write
verification can slow the image file creation by as much as seven tim es.
