    Is there anyway to restore files from various images to my hard drive? I have a Lenovo crashed (not worth fixing) and would like to restore (or extract and copy) all the pictures from an image of it; to my new Sager. I am using free version of paragon 12 disk image in both cases. I can not seem to find this in the .pdf manual
    This was very easy with my old version of Norton, I ran an .exe file that allow me to browse and extract easily. If not can you recommend a free imaging solution with the capability. Thanks, J

    I think you need to make a Start up CD from Paragon to re-clone your hard drive to a new CD.

    I believe Paragon have a feature which lets you browse folders in the Image file by using the File manager program for Paragon Images.

    http://clonezilla.org/ is a pretty good drive imaging program.
