O&O DiskImage Express is free software which enables you to image your entire computer and restore single drives. Please Note: Restoring a system partition is only possible with the Professional, Workstation or Server Edition of O&O DiskImage. You will also need the those versions of the program for restoring an image if you have only one partition on your hard disk containing both the operating system and your personal data.
Create an Image of your entire Computer
With O&O DiskImage Express you create images of your entire computer. Imaging single partitions is only possible with the full version of O&O DiskImage. To create an image, please proceed as follows:
-
Start the installation file (oodiex.exe) from the O&O DiskImage Express program folder.
-
Click on Create Image.
-
The dialogue window will allow you to name the location of where the image will be saved. By default, the images are located in the program folder OO Software. You should ideally save your images on external storage media.
-
Select Start to create the image. The larger the hard disk(s) is, the longer it might take for the imaging to take place.
Important: Although you can image the system partition, a restoration of system partitions is not possible with O&O DiskImage Express. To restore system partitions, you will need the Start-CD from O&O DiskImage (Professional, Workstation or Server Edition) which can be obtained when you purchase the full version.
