Hmmm, there is this mention in the help file:
"DrvImagerXP attempts to save/restore partitions as fast as it can,
using "Fast Mode". It reads/writes 20MB at a time (thousands of
sectors at a time). This works great on hard drives that have no
sector problems. Most modern hard drives normally don't have sector
problems and should be able to run in Fast Mode. But, if DrvImagerXP
is in Fast Mode and encounters sector problems (it will let you know),
it does not know which sectors are bad. So for these hard drives, you
must run it in Slow Mode, so it can isolate the bad sectors and not
copy them or try to write to them. Slow Mode is a lot slower, but it
will get the job done. Future versions of DrvImagerXP will
incorporate a more intelligent scheme, mixing Fast and Slow modes."
My drive was pretty new, which might explain why I had better luck
that you guys. The only other thing that I can think of was that I
booted from the UBCD4Win to do the restore.
