Query with Image for Windows

Post by ultimate_live »

Hi.
I want to download Terabyte Image for Windows to test it with my Windows 8.1. Because for my is important to backup and restore to dissimilar hardware.
Can I make also a bootable midia to restore if there would be a crash of my OS ?
For my testing purposes and maybe purchase, which one is the full version of Terabyte Image for Windows ?
Thanks

Both the full and trial versions let you create the boot media.

The purchased version is the full version:

If you would like to run the program from within Windows, I
would go with the GIU (graphical user interface?) version.

Since getting all versions of Terabyte programs is so
inexpensive, check that out as well.

I have only used the CUI versions of Image for DOS & Linux
so cannot comment on that.

You can Google GUI & CUI for additional info on the differences.

IFW is the same for both. The difference is which version of IFD is included. "IFD CUI" uses a text and keyboard interface. "IFL GUI" uses a graphical interface and has mouse support (assuming the BIOS properly supports it).

Ultimate_live,

Carefull there, Windows Activation does NOT like too many disimilar
hardware setups. If the HAL of each is not close to same, it'll nail
you.

I had it nail me when I updated a DVD drive.

You never know when too much is too much.

2-3 years ago, I upgraded my PC and had problems with the new
hardware. I swapped in and out several CPU/motherboard combos in a 2-3
week period.

Activation of win 7 did kick in, but it was not a hassle at all to
deal with, in fact it was a pleasure. All automated an no fuss.
Naturally, I had a retail version and not an OEM one.

Win 7 accepts (driver wise) hardware changes without issue. XP has a
couple of hurdles one has to jump through before a hardware swap, but
it is doable.

MJNelson,

It really shouldn't have just for a CD/DVD drive. A network card is a
biggie though.

Although this link is for WinXP users, WPA hasn't changed much and the
hardware list is still the same today....

Focus on the part "What hardware gets checked?".....

Normally that's the case for most....even me with OEM's.
But (there's always a but).....some rare instances require a user to
phone in to MS for an activation code, and they are quite lengthy, but
their phone tech's are very easy to deal with.
