I am looking for something that can create a bootable full disk ISO format file that will boot from the imaged disk's OS just like it does when the disk is installed.
Can True Image do that?
Thank you for any help!

If you are talking about a full Windows installation bootable from an external device NO. You will not find a product out there that does that. The Windows OS does not support being booted from any external device.

Thanks for your response. What I had in mind was to see if there is any way to create an ISO image of my full drive that could be installed on an an Oracle VirtualBox VM and operate the same way it does from the drive. VirtualBox can load ISO images so I got to thinking whether there was any way I could create a full image of my drive that would work the same way in a VM.

I interpret your response to mean that there is nothing that can do that. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks again!

There are lots of ISO creation apps available both free and paid versions. Whether or not any one of them can do what your looking for I am not 100% sure. Best to search for these apps and do some digging, maybe you will come up with a solution.

Thanks for your help. I've contacted a few of them so far but no luck. None of them so far seem to do it. So you may be right. But I still have a few on my list so who knows.
This would be a very useful feature I think. But undoubtedly quite a technical challenge to implement I assume if it is even possible at all!
Thanks again!

That's not a 'feature', that's a whole complicated product concept. It's not anywhere near the purpose of True Image. As an earlier poster mentioned, I've also never heard of such a tool. Good luck.
