Hi everybody, up till a while ago I was successfully using image for windows to
do my images. The only drawback was that the only option for a blind person was
to image to dvd, as restoring from another drive, be it one on the pc or an
external requires using the image for dos recovery disk, which obviously isn't
accessible. The dvd option now isn't there for some reason. I've also had
images go rogue and install to the wrong partition, leaving me with a trashed
system.
When I first raised this on list six years ago there was mention of a
solution, also mentioned to me by terabyte for creating a talking image for dos
recovery disk using image for linux. I'd looked into it, and gone so far as
creating a potentially talking boot disk, but the only problem was that it
required an external synth, also my pc would therefore need a serial port,
which modern pc's don't have. To add to that I spoke to dolphin yesterday, and
they tell me they no longer have the cable to connect the apollo 2.
The person I spoke with at dolphin said that there were imaging programmes
which would restore an image to the active partition, which image for windows
can't do. You can only restore to another drive, either one on the pc or an
external.
I've asked Terabyte why they couldn't have an option whereby one could setup
the restore from within windows, but then reboot to install the image. They
never gave me an answer, just pointed me to the linux solution again.
If the person I spoke to at dolphin is correct, and there are accessible
imaging programmes that will allow restore of the windows partition could
anybody point me at one?
Thanks for any help,
John.
