What's New
Version 2.3.1: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
So far so good, now it is just to wait to see if it works for me on 2.3.3 which you can get from the website... I really hope it works and if it do I will for sure donate to the developer since been looking for something like this for so long... I love it all ready so give 5 stars since I am sure it works :-) thx in advance... I will write again if went bad some way if not then it will be the last word for me. THX
please sign this petition to submit to two canoes software company to have them reconsider updating win clone to run it 10.7 lion and to be sold via the mac app store so that they will receive compensation for all their hard work on the best bootcamp cloning utility available for macs! Thank you for reading this!
UPDATE WINCLONE 2.3 COMPATIBLE WITH LION AND WINDOWS 7 !!!!

Winclone uses the open source ntfsprogs which is a collection of command line utilities for working with NTFS (e.g. ntfsclone, ntfsresize, etc). Really wouldn't be too hard to write wrappers for that. The problem is supporting all the various configurations and testing. That is expensive for a single shareware/donationware/freeware developer to maintain - which is why it should be open sourced :)
I'm sad to see WinClone discontinued. I just bought a new 500 GB HD two days ago to replace the 250 GB HD that originally shipped with it. I am planning on giving Windows 170 GB (mainly for Windows only games) and the Mac side the other space @ 330 GB.
I was going to replace the drive, install the Mac OS, and use Time Machine to restore the Mac side of my computer then create a Windows partition using the Boot Camp tool, and use Win Clone to restore my Windows image.
I am sad to know that this is probably the LAST time that I will be able to safely use this tool to image my Windows system and that next time around I will have to just simply sit back and manually install everything next time around.
I would actually prefer to BUY a program like this if anyone would consider a taking on a project like this. But it would have to be affordable and have the features of WinClone.
Havent tried the dl, but found a working link that gives you a chance to get this app still at..

Winclone worked for me to move my Boot Camp Partition from the original internal hard disk in my 24" aluminum iMac to a new Western Digital 2TB internal HD. Worked perfect! Glad that it is still downloadable. I would like to thank the programmers who wrote this!
For unknown reasons, Bootcamp support & VMware tools needed to be reinstalled when my partition was cloned from the main hard drive to secondary.
After running Winclone and copying Bootcamp partition, it took two restarts for the operating system to fully recognized Windows - CHKDSK cycled through a couple times. The right mouse button wouldn't work initially until the support software off Snow Leopard was reinstalled.
To anyone looking to use this program, I highly recommended downloading the CNET link user Tempel provided in an earlier post (many of the others download links were incompatible with my version of OS X; 10.6.5)
I've been trying to create a clone of my BootCamp partition for a while now and Winclone just won't do it.
Every time I attempt to create an image, the program finishes in like 4 seconds and gives a blue screen like error of death in the message log. I've tried switching options under, "When cloning an NTFS partition" in preferences and it still won't go.
Is there like a combination of boxes I need to check in preferences to get this application to operate correctly? Has anyone else had similar issues?
Would appreciate any feedback as it's an application I would like to use...

Bur iu have already full NTFS support by PARAGON NTFS (very fast+very stable).
I dont want to install an second NFTS driver (open source).
Any solution for that little problem ?

It's such a shame that the developer discontinued it. And without open sourcing it too.

It's to bad that the program is discontinued.
Perhaps it is possible to publish winclone as open source so that another developer can maintain the software?
