LLIMAGER-win  Disk Image -Start

Disk Image (#disk-image)

This option performs a full-disk (system volume) acquisition, imaging the computer's hard disk directly to E01 (EWF) format using ewfacquire, or to a raw DD image via ddrescue for damaged/unstable disks or when raw DD images are required. The process includes hash calculation and generation of a signed, tamper-evident PDF acquisition log with embedded QR code.

  1. Enter an Image Name (do not use spaces).
  2. Select the source device to be imaged; LLIMAGER-win will verify the device and display its size and volume information.
  3. Select the destination path for the image.
  4. Select hash options, if hashing should be performed and which algorithm to use.
  5. Click Review to verify the collection settings.
  6. Review the Configuration: verify the data, then click Process Image to proceed, or go back to make modifications.
  7. Start Processing: in the Process Image view, click Process. Completion time depends on image size.

Note: if the Process Image button is disabled, a warning message will indicate the required corrections (e.g., invalid name or insufficient disk space).
