Create disk image wizard
This wizard will helps to create Logical Disk Image (default extension - .HDD) or Physical Device Image (default extension - .DIM
To start this wizard you have to select either Logical Drive or Physical Device for which you wish to create Disk Image and then run the wizard y doing one of the following:
- Click the Create Disk Image button on the toolbar, or
- Click Tools > Create Disk Image in command toolbar, or

After the wizard start, follow the simple instruction on each proceeding screens:
Step 1. Set Disk Image Options
Where:
- Disk Image file name
- Specify file name under which the newly created image will be stored.
- The Target Location for the Disk Images must always be on other drive.
- File systems FAT16 and FAT32 do not support file sizes larger than 2GB and 4GB
respectively. In these file systems is not possible to create a disk image file
for a drive as it is likely to grow larger than 2GB (or 4GB). The solution in this
case is to use a target location formatted under the operating system Windows
NT/2000/XP and NTFS or create Disk Image split into several parts(chunks) by
appropriate size.
- Use compression for Disk Image creation
- With this option on, the final Disk Image creates compressed - that will save some
space on your HDD but makes your Disk Image less useful for further Data Recovery
operations.
- Specify chunk size
- Image can be created as one solid file as big as original disk (if Specify chunk
size not set) or stored split on chunks of size specified.
