Vendor: PowerQuest Corporation Tested operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows XP 64 Bit (x86_64). Over the years, PowerQuest's Drive Image has established itself as a powerful tool for creating exact images of hard drive partitions--ideal for backing up important data. However, historically, Drive Image's runs-only-in-DOS setup hampered its usefulness. But the 2002 version, unlike, performs many of its functions within Windows, without the need to boot to DOS. This is good, since Windows XP doesn't even boot to DOS.

Drive Image 2002 is worth a serious look for anyone who needs to make exact backups of a disk's contents--unless you want to back up to DVD media. For that capability, you'll need. Post navigation.

We address a few common PC music questions and introduce the best software solutions for drive backup. Want a backup copy of your Windows or other partition so you can laugh in the face of a crash or hard drive failure? DriveImage XML works well, and for home users it's completely free! Three of the most common questions I hear PC-based musicians asking are whether they should put a 10,000rpm hard drive in their audio PCs, whether they need a 8MB, 16MB or 32MB cache, and whether they should set up a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) system. Here's the lowdown. Way back in June 2003, I carried out some practical tests on hard drive audio performance and, as a result, offered the advice that musicians 'stick with a single 7200rpm EIDE hard drive for audio purposes. It should be perfectly capable of running around 48 tracks of up to 24-bit/96kHz audio.” In July 2005, I updated my research with a more modern 7200rpm SATA drive and managed 76 tracks of 24-bit/96kHz audio before the drive ran out of steam.

Today's drives are even faster, so unless you need more than, say, 90 simultaneous 24-bit/96kHz tracks (or more, at lower sample rates) there's no practical reason to fit 10,000rpm drives. Faster spin speeds generally mean more acoustic noise, too, which is bad news for most musicians. So next time you need to buy a new hard drive, my advice is to choose a reasonably priced and suitably sized 7200rpm model and stop worrying! You certainly don't need RAID to supplement audio recording and playback performance unless you require even more simultaneous audio tracks, or need to stream video alongside them. For sample streaming, RAID may even be counter-productive: it's more likely that several separate drives operating independently will improve performance when accessing a random set of sounds, but again, only if you need more simultaneous voices or more capacity than you can get with a single 7200rpm drive (typically over 200 voices).

As for hard drive cache sizes, yes, larger sizes may improve things slightly, but again you'll only notice this if you're already pushing the performance boundaries. Last month, I tracked down a freeware replacement for Partition Magic, in the form of Partition Master Home Edition from EASEUS (). This month I started looking for a replacement for Partition Magic's stablemate, Powerquest Drive Image 2002, which I've been using successfully for the last seven years to create backup image files of my various Windows and data partitions. It still works perfectly, but neither Partition Magic nor Drive Image 2002 can cope with Vista partitions; nor will they cope with those of Windows 7, when that becomes available. Plenty of people recommend Acronis True Image (), and the Home edition is good value at around £30 $40. Owners of Maxtor and Seagate hard drives have it even easier, as they can download the free Acronis-powered DiscWizard utility ().
