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.
