I have installed Drive Image 2002 on my Windows 98 SE system. I have made an image on my C drive on another partition. How can I copy the image back to its original location after I format my hard disk so that the main Drive Image 2002 is also gone.

1) In such a scenario of hard disk format, do I have to make a boot up floppy to copy the image back to C drive. If yes, how can that boot up floppy made in Drive Image 2002.

2) Is it possible to copy the image from another partition without boot up from floppy in case of format of the C drive.

It drive image still installed on the C drive and the image still in its own separate partition ?

Have a look at the DI instructional videos

Well the Drive Image 2002 is installed in C drive where all other applications and OS is also installed while the image is saved in root of D Drive

So let me see first that understand you here.

Your operating system ( 98 se) is on C drive which has Drive Image installed in it. In your D drive is an Image of C drive make with drive Image.
What you wish to do now is wipe your C drive by restoring with the D drive image backup..

Yes, thats what I exactly mean

Then you have the same setup as me..All you have to do to restore the fresh image to C drive is click on start // programs // drive image //drive image 2002 // restore image // browse to the image file on d drive //select the partition you wish to restore it to which would be C drive for destination // then click "finish..

The pc will reboot itself and restore the image and after about 20-30 minutes the pc will have rebooted itself and be sitting at the desktop of the fresh installed c drive..

Another option, in case something like Win98 fails to boot, or you don't even have Drive Image installed, just use the DOS boot disks it can create.

This also comes in handy with XP or other versions of NT which are much hard to restore. Bascially install just the OS and what it needs on a C: partitoin. All the rest, programs, data and the image can go on a D: partition. If the OS won't boot, just use the same floppies and restore a recent one. Even with XP this only takes about 10 minutes.
