Hello,
I'm a software developer for a small company that makes Customer Specific
Machines, ie. each machine and Computer is unique. The Computer is a
normal
PC with Windows XP and usually it's configured by the customer so it's
part
of a domain.
This means that I can't connect to the computer by TCP/IP, since I'm not
part of that domain and I can't change this ....
For each computer it would be nice to have a DVD from which we can create
a
clone of the Computer.
I have looked at Norton Ghost but it means that I have to install Ghost on
the customers computer to be able to create an image.
An more convenient way would be:
I connect an external hard disk via USB to the customer computer.
On this disk I have a program that can take an image of the disk in the
customer computer.
The image can later be burnt down to a bootable DVD, from which a copy of
the customers hard disk can be made.
Is there some program that I can use to make an image of the hard disk,
without installing some program and saving the image on a external disk or
DVD?
Acronis True Image would do what you require. You don't actually need to
install True Image as it comes with a CD image that provides a bootable CD
that then allows you to image the drive once so booted. The downside is
that you do need to install True Image somewhere in order to produce the
bootable CD.
I understood that Ghost provided a similar scheme?
