I have not used it to image Windows 7 yet but I don't think there would be any problems doing it. Most new hard drives come with special software to help you do this. DO NOT buy a drive that is "bare bones". This is the hard drive and nothing else. I really like the software that comes with Seagate hard drives, its very easy to use.Jim and Mary Trippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251895600685459292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690032851006300755.post-27314806661877132862012-03-23T09:14:21.735-04:002012-03-23T09:14:21.735-04:00Is this divice sata/ide combo drive adapter usb 2....Is this divice sata/ide combo drive adapter usb 2.0, compatible with imaging Window 7 OS and from Image to harddrive as it does with WindowsXP?Chum Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740333061282723006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690032851006300755.post-28286234139391238682010-02-20T20:39:06.206-05:002010-02-20T20:39:06.206-05:00Quote: when i attached inland sata/ide adapter to...Quote: when i attached inland sata/ide adapter to an old internal IDE drive, my dell PC with XP pro doesn't recognize ide drive<br /><br />It may not show up in Windows directory, but<br />sometimes it shows up in Manager.

If something happened to the partition table that could be a problem. The make and model of the drive would possibly help. Jumpers don't seem to matter. Make sure the power cord is going to the hard drive itself and not the adapter. One more thing, sometimes if the hard drive is starting to die, it takes a while, like 20 minutes for it to be recognized. And try a different USB port. A last resort in order to recover data would be to install Ubuntu (http://jimdolittle.blogspot.com/2010/01/wubi-ubuntu-installer.html), boot into it and you might see your files. Good Luck! Let me know if this helps.Jim and Mary Trippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251895600685459292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690032851006300755.post-30728226098187776172010-02-15T09:38:15.362-05:002010-02-15T09:38:15.362-05:00Question: when i attached inland sata/ide adapter ...Question: when i attached inland sata/ide adapter to an old internal IDE drive, my dell PC with XP pro doesn't recognize ide drive.Just you can only see "safety remove hardware" icon.

That said, I use it more on 3.5 and SATA so that's the reason for cautious approach. If the 2.5 is a SATA than you do need the power cord hooked to the device.Jim and Mary Trippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251895600685459292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690032851006300755.post-60873649404184263422009-11-22T16:39:39.115-05:002009-11-22T16:39:39.115-05:00Question: I've used this device also, mainly w...Question: I've used this device also, mainly with 3.5" drives. I see that one could attach a 2.5" drive at least 2 different ways. I suppose that there is a right way and a wrong way to attach it. I also suspect that attaching it the wrong way could cause the blue smoke inside the drive to escape and ruin everything. Do you have any insight into this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
