Some technical remarks :
The drive will be locked and dismounted before reading / writing.
CloneDisk will use 64k aligned buffer to achieve best performances.
CloneDisk should handle file up to 2^63-1 bytes.
You can read the image file with winimage or 7zip, or mount it with ImDisk or VDK (mirror).
You can share the thru an iscsi target with Rocket Division Starwind.
You can run the image in a virtualisation software such as Qemu, VPC, VMware, etc.
Tip 1: adding the vmware scsi drivers before cloning will enable you to start the image in vmware after cloning.
Tip 2: install boot on iscsi before cloning (http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winnt_iscsi) and network boot your image thru iscsi after cloning.
