NEW!! Roadkil's Disk Image v. 1.6

[admin]

great, we have been waiting for this.

Could some one please place a comment here when he has used it successfully in so loved "physical disk" mode?

I couldn't get it to run... So I used a ubuntu live distro instead... Some two weeks ago...

I too had a problem under Windows 7 64 bit. Got an error message "Error #5 occurred while writing to disk at sector 0" when trying to write to the USB stick. I googled this error and at least 2 others have seen the same problem under Windows 7.

I tried the same Diskimage version (1.6) on my old XP computer and it worked fine, so looks like a problem under Win 7-64. I will send Roadkil a note.

Mark.

My Windows 7 is home edition 32 bit. So on 32 it also does not work.

I have Win7 Ultimate and getting the same error from time to time.
It depends on the stick (size,manufacturer). What´s never working under Win7 is any form of card reader.
I have three 8 GB sticks that work perfect under Win7. So very strange!

But, there´s another free windows tool you might want to give a try:
SUSE Studio ImageWriter for Microsoft Windows
It´s from Suse and worked for me for all sorts of USB media and different file-images with Win7.
