WINDRV Client Configurator Tools – Partition Image File Creator

9.1

Partition Image File Creator is opened by clicking Create Blank Image under Tools Menu [please note that it is only available in Registered version]:

As discussed earlier, a WINDRV Client, a system image of Windows 9X , can be prepared under Win98if a hard disk with a Windows 9X installation can be accessed under Win98. A blank partition image file is a good candidate for holding WINDRV Client. One therefore can create a blank partition image file with Partition Image File Creator here and the file so created can be mounted up by filedisk under Win98 as a normal logical disk drive for building WINDRV Client. Under Windows 9X , one can use WINDRV Virtual Disk Manager for similar purpose.

The blank partition image file or standard floppy image file created can be in FAT12/16/32 format. One can also check the box Create full size image to create a full size image file. Otherwise, a sparse file will be created, it is only a short or compact file with the necessary filesystem information that can also be used as well.
