Powercopy V4 is in most cases the fastest and most perfect disk cloning software woldwide. Powercopy has no problem in using SATA-Drives like other tools. Limitation of the demo version: You can create disk images of any partition of your computer, but you cannot restore this images unless you have a registrated version of Powercopy.
Disk/partition cloning, disk data erasing functions or disk image restore
functions are not available to this version.
All other harddisk functions are simulated only(no write to disk). But you will
get a feeling in how to use POWERCOPY.
Powercopy has an easy to use mouse controllable 'DOS-like' interface. The windows
version(pc32.exe) is a real windows program with DOS look and feel.
The Windows version of Powercopy (executable file name pc32.exe) can be used
directly inside Windows NT4/2000(Server)/2003(Server)/ XP
