The ISO file is used to create a bootable CD. You should burn a bootable CD with a Burning software, such as Nero Burning Rom. The method to burn is listed by Scorp at #24.
After you create it successfully, you should restart the PC and boot from the CD.

This couldn’t have come at a better time. My PC started behaving strangely a few days ago. I tried all sorts of things but to no avail.

I gave this program a try and it located and fixed a problem on my C: drive.

The PC is behaving just fine again.

It’s not the most comprehensive or intuitive program to use, but it did the job.

I feel for you, #68, for real. Acronis destroyed my system twice a couple years ago. Why don’t you get your $$$ back if you can and try DriveClone Pro 5″? Free Trial is full as far as I know and it works.

It’s what I’ve been using for almost a year. It’s compatible with 2000, XP and Vista.

Sorry folks,
I’ve had more troubles then any give aways by this company could have possibly been worth.
Lessons learned long ago taught me the importance of back up. There is no excuse for anyone not to do so. If not to an external hard drive, to data dvd’s at least.
I also own legal Windows Operating Disks for both my Vista Home Premium and Win XP Pro. Couple those with driver disks and the fact that hard drives are cheap these days and this companies programs become about as useless to me as wet toilet paper!
Example: I just purchased a 320GB Seagate External HD and a 320GB Western Digital Sata Internal HD. The pair together cost me $170.00. In one day both systems were back up, running, and new. Can’t beat that?
Over the yers I’ve found a yearly fresh install of any of any Windows Based Platform increases performance much more then trying to tune, tweak and clean up an old system ever did. I can do either OS with programs, drivers and data in about 6 hours, or just recover the cloned image from the external drive to a freshly partitioned or new HD in half that time.
So, the story is simply this: “Backup your data on a regular basis or pay the price in the end”! If you feel a need for a program like this, get it while you can. It’s just easier to go the other route for me, guess I’m used to it.

If anyone can suggest how to recover from my Partition Table Doctor disaster (the Doctor has amputated the brain of a healthy XP patient) please drop some info here or in the forum. It looks like there are lots of victims and there are probably lots more struggling to get a working computer so they can get back here to warn others – all too late. Then there are the poor sods who will not know until they re-boot next day (like me).

Maybe the usually reliable supplier of this stuff can offer some pointers, too.

I think I’ll go to bed now. When I wake up I’ll find this is just a nightmare. Please.

#11–if you don’t have a disc, you should burn one, since you never know when you might need it. Instructions are all over the Net. Even if I didn’t have a genuine MS disc, I’d still turn down this Chinese prog., since I still remember Chinese agents planting spyware on hard drives.

1. Find the folder which is named ‘engine’. The path is: X:\Program
Files\Common Files\InstallShield\. (X is the drive letter of your
Operating System)
2. Please backup the folder ‘engine’ first to another safe place. You’d better back it up to your removable device.
3. And then you can delete the folder ‘engine’ under the path: X:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\.
4. After you delete the folder, you can run the setup program again to install.
