rgodart 0 Posted August 10, 2001 Sometimes drive image show a wrong free space on my harddisk. In windows2000 i can see i got 7GB free on my HD, but drive image (rebooted in dos and everything) tells me there is only 3 GB free... So i can't make an image. Anyone else have this prob?

Dirty Harry 0 Posted August 10, 2001 Which DI version?? Which filesystem? Can /have you defragged the drive? Never had any problems with Drive Image, but can't recall that I ever needed to make an compressed image exceeding 3GB, I tend to keep my primary partition well below 10GB, and back up other stuff by other means. From the sound of it, something is wrong with your disk or FAT, try running checkdisk. If you have Partition magic, check the volume with that. When you say rebooted from DOS is that DI starting from Windows or do you have DOS installed also? Can you replicate the problem? BTW, you can reduce the size of the image file a lot by booting to DOS and deleting the swapfile and hiberfil.sys before you do the image. W2K rebuilds them upon startup. Also, always use high compression, its faster! H. Share this post Link to post
