I have been using D.I.2002 with XP Pro for some time without any problems.
Until today , when creating and/or restoring Image Files , I have always used the D.I. floppies to initiate D.I. thus getting to the "DOS" screen. I usually split these files into 650 Mbt sizes so that I can put them onto CD's later.
Today , instead of using the floppies , I tried to create these image files by using the D.I. icon from Windows .
My P.C. has 2 Hard Drives , an 80 Ghz and a 120 Ghz.
The smaller drive is partitioned into C: E: F: & G . The larger drive D: is unpartitioned.
My first attempt was to form an image file of the C: drive whose destination was D:\Image Files\Test . For this I used the D.I. Wizard and the file "XPC19OCT.pqi " was created in this Folder and had been divided into 2 Image files .
However as the first of these was too large to burn to a CD I then repeated this exercise but this time did not use the Wizard but began by selecting CREATE IMAGE , SELECT DRIVE,SELECT DESTINATION and , when OPTIONS selected , I chose to split the file into 650 Mhz sections. I then initiated the formation of the image file.
This procedure stopped , however , after about 60% complete with the error message :- "ERROR 1831 - Image File Not Found "
I repeated the above two operations several times and each time I used the Wizard I get the image file created in two sections OK and each time I used the CREATE IMAGE ....etc route I get the operation stopping at the same point with error 1831.
Using the floppies to initiate D.I. produces no errors and the same Image File is created and splits into about 5 650 Mhz sections without problems.
I'm puzzled by the "Image File Not Found " error when the Wizard is not used and wonder whether anyone can offer any explanations
