Version: All Image 1.3.1
"Works where others don't!"
Pros: Tried Parted Magic, and Drive Image XML, but All Image came through.
It was freaking easy, I didn't have to jump through hoops.
There's a CD/DVD ISO creator, icing on the cake.
There's a 14 trial if you don't copy hard drives but once in a blue moon.Cons: Only a 14 day trial, but it's worth paying for. ;)
Summary: Hidden partition my ace! My old hard drive is transferring stuff in my laptop at about 3MB per second (should be 20-30 MB), so it's probably on it's last legs and I bought a new one. Of course "smell" (only with a d) has their "hidden" little bs FAT16 partition on the front followed by the main NTFS partition, then the "hidden" FAT32 recovery partition after the main one. Parted Magic and Drive Image XML threw errors when they ran into that FAT16 partition (that has the Master Boot Record on it, I'd already tried to boot with just the main partition- didn't work). I could have just put on the main partition and remade the MBR, I suppose, and possibly had it boot. But why do summersaults for a smell? BAM, one fell swoop All Image copied all the partitions on the new hard drive with no problems and the laptop booted up faster than ever. Would Acronis have done it? I doubt it, but you can pay double the price and fail with that one before you succeed with this one (if you really want to). Good deal at the price because it's not too expensive AND it actually works.
(I'm planning on it anyway)
