Drive Image 1.0 was released in September 1997. Drive Image 2002 (version 6) is the last release that allows the creation of a rescue set on
floppy disk, which can be used to create and restore an image. Drive Image version 7 was the last version published under the
PowerQuest corporate brand. It was also the first version to include a native Windows interface for cloning an active
system partition; prior versions required a
reboot into a
DOS-like environment in order to clone the active partition. Drive Image version 7 became the basis for Norton Ghost 9.0, which was released to retail markets in August 2004. Ghost was a competing product, developed by
Binary Research, before
Symantec bought the company in 1998. ==See also==
