Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
DriveWorks is an integrated suite of five applications that provideseverything you need to safely manage your hard drive. You will be able topartition and resize your disk, perform imaging to backup, restore entiredrives or partitions, copy and expand one drive to another, perform a securemultipass drive erase, and schedule automatic backups ofyour data files. This package includes Partition Commander, ImageCommander, Copy Commander, SecurErase, and AutoSave.
Partition Commander provides you with the ability to safely resizepartitions, providing you with the ability to better organize your harddrive, reclaim wasted disk space, and, in some cases, actually speed up yoursystem. Image Commander allows you to make an image of a partition oryour entire hard drive to insure that you have an exact duplicate of yoursystem and your data is safely stored away. Image Commander makes a compressedimage file that can be easily saved to a CD, Zip, or Jaz drive, another hard drive, or a network drive. Should your computer system go down for the count,this easy-to-use, wizard-driven imaging solution lets you restore it to aprior state when everything worked right.
Copy Commander provides you with an easy way to automatically transfereverything from your old hard drive to your new hard drive without losingany of your preferences, settings, or data. Copy Commander supports all PCoperating systems and their file systems. If you have multiplepartitions, Copy Commander copies them for you and even gives you theoption to have them proportionally expanded on your new disk. SecurEraseprovides a multipass drive and partition erase to make sure that your data issecurely and completely erased for good. AutoSave is an automatic backup program that runs in the background under Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or Me. It automatically and invisibly backs up files that you create, and modifies them as you are working. A complement to Image Commander, which takes care of your periodic full backups, AutoSave concentrates only on those files that you create and work with between those full backups, a real-time automatic backup solution for continuous, up-to-the-minute protection.

Horrible Experience with Drive Works,
By A Customer
This review is from: DriveWorks 1.0 (CD-ROM)
I have just had a horrific experience with your product DriveWorks. I run Windows 2000 and had decided that I needed a good program to back up my whole harddrive in the event of a crash. I found DriveWorks. My problem started when I realized (after purchase) that nothing would load on my computer except AutoSave, so I installed it. In fact I installed and uninstalled it three times because everytime I installed it, it crashed my computer right before it would end the booting up process. I thought that this program was not the main reason I purchased the whole thing so I could live with it not working. Since I was running Win2000 the instructions said the other programs would only work from the CD, so I rebooted with the floppy and went to the CD to try to run Image Commander to backup my harddrive. (Then I read that it would not backup straight to CD. Your box says, "This image is a compressed file that can be easily saved to a CD." I guess you just forgot to mention that you can only save it to CD AFTER you save it to a harddrive. What if you don't have enough space on your harddrive to put the backup file on???) After booting up with the CD it told me that the only way the program would backup FAT32 files was if it was installed on the harddrive, yet I couldn't install it because I was running Windows 2000. I was really beginning to believe I had purchased a joke. If only I had... When I purchased the program I had also been looking for a disk partiting program like Partition Magic. Since I didn't find it at Office Max I was glad when DriveWorks had Partition Commander. I proceeded to open that program... finally a program that I could open! I wished I hadn't been able to. While looking at the options, never giving any command to actually do changes... my WHOLE harddrive got instantly deleted!!! There was no "Are you sure?" "All your data will be deleted" warnings or anything like it. It was just gone! The very thing I had feared had just happened to me, but the worse thing was that it was at the hands of the program I had purchased to help me prepare for such a catastrophe! I can't tell you the anger I felt.

My truth told , What a waste of 3 days and 70$. A disgrace,
By Manda Mouse "Manda" (Reading, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DriveWorks 1.0 (CD-ROM)
Well here you have it,3 Days of Frustration, failed solution after failed solution, and .... the death via slaying of a 70$ program. I purchased this say 4 months prior and from day one problems. To start with I have an All-in-Wonder Radeon video card, 200$+ , and I experienced a split screen problem with it no matter if you ran it from WINDOWS 2000 PRO or Booting from it. "The Manufacturers" web site stated that there was no fix for this problem. A split screen to me after spending 70 bucks was annoying but all together bearable and went on and partition my RAID array with it. Now Dec. 28,01 I purchased a WD 80 GIG HD, and 2 more 60 Gig Maxtors to backup my 52 Gigs of MP3's as the took 2 years to compile. To make a long story short I had Win 2000 on my RAID and needed to remove it, install on the 80 Gig, and move Win 2000 and set up a "0+1" Stripe plus Span on the RAID. Yada Yada and so on. This product has a built in recovery feature JUST in case a power failure occurs during an operation. No the power never went out, Just the 70$ CD costing no more than .03 cents to V Com Oh and the 40$ profit , trust me, no research and development went on here. I backed up my windows directory and partition my RAID and my new 80 Gig and ended up in a "insert recovery disk 2 .....blah blah you are now safe to restart" cycle for an hour. Ok I could at this point go on for hours cursing, bottom line I , an intelligent (no arrogance intended) person had NO, NONE, NADA, Not a choice but toto reformat everything, fight with WIN 2000 to recognize my RAID as C:......... again BLAH The interface had promise but the code hade no intention on making the previous work. A damned shame V Com DO NOT. PLEASE DO NOT. By this unless you love and I mean LOVE stress V Com should be ashamed

Driveworks is not that bad...,
By ADI (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DriveWorks 1.0 (CD-ROM)
If you use Win Nt, 2K, XP with NTFS partition, you better not to try this driveworks. I tried it on my workstation that has an Adaptec RAID and Win Nt on it, and it didn't work.But, this driveworks work fine on my laptop which has a Windows ME with FAT32 on it. I can resize the partition without destroying it, image the partition, and had succesfully restored the partition from that image. So my complains: Otherwise, this software might be worthful for anyone who use FAT/FAT32.
