Drive Image offers the following benefits:
- Support for Windows XP.
- QuickImage Windows interface allows you to configure and execute imaging sessions. You're no longer forced to operate while in DOS as you are with other imaging software.
- QuickImage scheduler allows you to schedule regular backups of your entire hard drive or individual partitions. Once your schedule is set, you do nothing more-the backups will happen automatically.
- Improved performance allows you to create and restore images faster than ever.
- Support for a greater number of CD-R/W drives, including IDE, SCSI and PCMCIA drives.
- VF Editor allows you to custom-build your own Virtual Floppy files, removing the need to create and boot from floppy diskettes.
- Supports hard drives as large as 80GB.
