EaseUS Disk Copy for Windows

User Reviews

• never worked for me

  rubrtoe1July 6, 2015

  Pros

  I use the 5.3 version of Macrium REFLECT for cloning my c drive only this is the only one that worked for me. EaseUS doesn't work, AOMEI doesn't work, Acronis , all versions, stopped working, and Minitool Drive Copy worked about 4 times and quit working . I clone my drive about once a week or so and Macrium Reflefct 5.3 has continued to work like 6 times in a row, flawlessly. I was skeptical about it's ability to clone while in Windows, but it works. Note i do not do "updates" when something works because my experience is that in this day and age an "update" doesn't mean better and if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

  Cons

• This is a virus. Don't download it!

  Caviper69December 29, 2013

  Pros

  It has been a good refresher in virus removal.

  Cons

  It download viruses and browser hijacks.

  Summary

  As soon as I downloaded it and ran it I had problems. I removed the software and am still dealing with pop-ups and requests to download a new video viewer. It said it was creating a boot disk and all it created was an executable on the cd. Stay aways from this.

• Convoluted install, but eventually did the clone great.

  jennytaliaOctober 16, 2013

  Pros

  It's free. It clones your disk

  Cons

  Install process is convoluted and involves multiple downloads.

  Summary

  Firstly, BE CAREFUL OF THE CNET DOWNLOADER. It wants to install 2 products that are nothing to do with this before it even lets you download the installer. It's very 'offical' looking - BUT DECLINE THEM. Once you download and run the installer. Running that eventually gets you to the picture at the bottom of the review - where it wants to create a boot disk. Since I wanted to clone, I had to click the bottom link, which THEN took me to Chengdu's website, where I could download and install the software. Initially the software wasn't recognizing my new drive. So I had go to Windows Disk Manager to initialize the new disk. After that, the software worked great (although slower than I expected). I'm very disappointed in CNET in adding this superfluous spam-ware.

• Copied everything on my hard drive

  BailifeifiefeiMarch 29, 2013

  Pros

  I wanted to upgrade hard drive to a new one, and so was looking for a disk copy tool. easus disk copy works perfectly, doing exactly what i want. the sector by sector copy is safe and reliable. everything on the old hard drive was copied to the new one. and the computer booted from the new hard drive.

  Cons

  sector by sector copy might be a little bit slow

  Summary

  good

• After re-install of windows will not activate

  mikewiddyMarch 27, 2013

  Pros

  Clean user interface

  Cons

  After re-install of windows will not activate The email support address doesn't work. I mount a system backup from a different machine. It mounts ok, but cannot be accessed. I get "F:\ is not accessible - media is write protected" I had tested the mount on the first machine with no problem. With incremental backup the result was success, but mounting the image, succeeds but cannot be accessed. So every day you need to try the mount, and delete the incremental backup, the run the backup again. I haven't had any luck restoring Windows 8 from a backup.

  Summary

  Don't pay for this. Use the free version, and test recovery on a test machine.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 28, 2013<p/>I posted this review for the wrong product, I was talking about Easeus ToDo Backup Home.

  Pros

  looked it like it was going to deliver

  Cons

  Founds 22 Gb worth of stuff and recovered it so I thought great! But none of the recovered content was actually readable. a waste of $70

  Summary

  Don;t waste your money. was doing for my kid, now he'll learn to back his stuff up.
