Image of Windows Vista system partition (NTFS) was made using Disk Utility.
If to view the image content using Disk Image Mounter the folders of one important type are empty:
Users\user\Roaming
These are folders where all installed software store their data.
For example the web browser stores here user specific data. The same for mail client.
I wonder what is the cause this directory for all users is empty in the image
created by Disk Utility.
Has anybody any idea?
UPDATE
By making the experience as above I am not sure the
OS X Disk Utility Create New Image is suitable to produce reliable image
of NTFS partition.
In the case as above not only the directory Users\user-name\Roaming is missing.
Also Program Data directory which normally is present when looking at
Win system part from running Windows is not present in the image created
by OS X disk utility.
Not the slightest idea which directories else an how many over all does the image miss.
