Drive Image Professional

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 check 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, leave

 

the Check for File System Errors check box selected.

Disable SmartSector Copying

Drive Image’s SmartSector technology speeds up the imaging process by only

 

copying clusters and sectors which contain data. However, in some cases, such

 

as high-security environments, it may be desirable to copy 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 SmartSector

 

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 times.
