Great features and price... Except Winclone does NOT support FAT32 filesystems with Windows XP... Only Windows 7 and Vista are supported. Windows XP is supported if it is using the NTFS filesystem. (see FAQs on developer's website: http://twocanoes.com/faq.php?software=1)
HANDS DOWN THE BEST BOOTCAMP CLONING UTILITY EVER!! Back form the dead !! Please buy this app if you haven't already,you will not be disappointed. It does exactly what it claims to and even more. It will save you hours of windows frustration and preserve all of your work saved in windows on your macs. It is the only software of its kind and is priced so very reasonable. The developer is an amazingly brilliant man who cares deeply about his customers. He has always responded to me personally on the forums on his site as well as personal responses to email in super fast return times. Please i cant say it enough,if you have bootcamp installed on your macs,please make the purchase of the app a staple in your mac arsenal!
There is no better way to back up and especially restore your Windows drive/partition than with WinClone. I've tried backing up from within Windows. It Sucks. Yes, even Acronis. It's not consistent. WinClone is the only way you can easily restore your entire Windows drive in one swift process. I've restore three times with this app and it has never failed. $20.00 is a bargain for what it does.
The site here is out of date, winclone is now a paid app ($19.99) and has a new developer. It's at version 3.0 now and is supported under 10.6 and 10.7.
A shame it now costs, but it is a valuable app and if it supports it's development then why not!
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
'Operation failed! - Error: Cluster 4367576 referenced twice! You didn't shutdown your Windowsproperly?' Tried using Winclone 3.0.2 with OS X Lion 10.7.3. Nothing wrong with windows 7 under bootcamp as far as i can see. Tried it three times.
Doesn't work for me. :-(
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...
Dreaded CNet (who swallowed VersionTracker) still has a copy of the program on their site hosted: http://download.cnet.com/Winclone/3000-2242_4-172338.html
Winclone seven 64bits from SnowLeopard:
I was just change my Disk Seagate ES 750 to Seagate .12 750 same machine, same slot
on MacPro 2009
(no bootCamp Divers installed)
All was works like charme
But all try I did from machine to other didn't works (with bootcamp installed)
MackBook to MacBookPro 17 2010 or to other macBook
???? Since this version WinClone wants an NTFS download or didnt start at all.
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 ?
Thanks for that great Tool !!
