Hi,

I have a 2GB HD on a 98SE system and I have Drive Image 2002.

I created a default compressed image of that drive and then restored it
to a 40GB drive.

When I rebooted to the new C drive (40GB) whilst at bios and dos boot it
shows as 40GB, windows only sees the drive as the same size at it was
when it was the 2GB drive.

How can I have the rest of that partition (38GB) of the 40GB be
available in win?

Thanks

Rock

This is the same problem I had with this crap product and I'm sorry, but
having to buy yet another one of their crap products to do what the first
one advertises is pure bullshit.
I had three tech support calls into them and they never bothered to answer
any of them.
I paid $70for this BS, too.
Never again.

It's a huge PITA to work around this.
You have to restore all files separately, instead of the whole drive.
This will take you a very long time, though not too bad woth 2 Gig.
I had 80 Gig and it took days.
 
Thanks..

Oh no Tom don't tell me this is in front of me!

I have Drive Image 2002 and I went back and saw a 'Resize' option.

I deleted then reformated the new 40GB then restored using that resize
option so that the whole 38 odd GB was available in the partition.

For some reason I get to 100% restored but 94% finished and a panel
tells me ..

Error 2003 File Size does not match FAT allocation table

then another..

Error 983

Too many errors found - process halted.

So it unravels what it has done and leaves me with an emptytarget disc
again.

Gotta lot of looking to do I guess to get to the bottom of it all. Hope
fully not what Tom had to go through.

This is my boot drive too so it has to be right.

Thanks

If you are going one drive to one drive and just one partition on each, then
you might be able to get the expand thing to work.
Unpartition the destination drive and then try it and tell it to expand.
I couldn't try this because of multiple partitions.
 
Thanks.. I'll give that a try tomorrow..

- If the partition is FAT16, first convert it and then make the image. FAT16
max size is 2 Gb.
- If the partition is already FAT32 but very full, try freeing up some
space, then create the image. The resizing process on the destiantion drive
requires some free space.

Then run scandisk or chkdsk/f on the source and re-create the image file.

In your case because you are so stupid that you cant manage the basics.

You dont have to do that, DI will do it fine.

In Restore Image/Options (Wizard) there is a way to "tell" DM 2002 to expand
a Windows 98 FAT32 formatted partition up to 32 Gb in one go.

Not even getting into who's Jim Jones:

1. He's absolutely right about you; you indeed don't have a clue
2. Your reply to him lacks any sign of humor and/or intelligence
