Drive Image problem with restoring

When I want to restore a previously created Disk image (created with Drive Image 6.0) I got
the following error message popup (regardless which option I enable or not):

"Error #1802: Image file invalid or corrupted"

I cannot imagine that this is the case because
the image creating process earlier was without problems (including the verification).

The only thing I changed was the name of the PQI file. Does this really matter?

Is there a way of verify an image from a running windows (Win2K or WinXP) system?

Can I generally restore Images with DI7 which are created with DI6 ?

Is the DI7 more stable than the DI6?

DI7 includes DI2002 which is the dos version of DI7. I use DI2002
exclusively and have never had a problem creating or restoring images of XP.
 
Drive Image 2002, which is included with Drive 7 ***IS NOT*** the DOS
version of Drive Image 7.

It is Drive Image 2002 - just as the CD says! It is included for those
people who need it for Windows 98/ME etc. Drive Image 7 will NOT work with
those operating systems.

Your question has really nothing to do with Win2000 or WinXP,
and everything with DriveImage. I recommend you repost in a
DI newsgroup, or check the DI FAQs.

Anyway, I have experienced several cases of "corrupted"
DI image files. I now make it a habit of testing every image
immediately after creating it. All I need is a spare hard
disk. They are cheap.
