Casper 8 Startup Disc (Boot CD) 64 Bit
Casper is a software that allows you to create and restore backups of your hard drive or partition. It can also clone your entire drive or partition to another drive or partition, or create an image file of your drive or partition that can be stored on another device or media. Casper supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, and can handle encrypted drives, dynamic disks, and BitLocker-enabled drives.
However, there may be situations where you need to restore a backup from an external hard drive or a different partition to your primary system drive, and Windows is unable to boot and run from the backup device. For example, this may happen if your primary system drive fails, gets corrupted, or is infected by malware. In such cases, you need a Casper Startup Disc (Boot CD) to boot and run Casper directly from a USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or DVD disc with full access to external USB and Firewire hard disks.
