Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Disk image. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Virtualization Suggestion

This section needs help. I didn't wade through the many edits to the section (started to, but...) to see who was doing what. Perhaps somebody watching this article is already familiar with the problem. Haakondahl (talk) 10:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added some additional Citations

Thank you to whomever is the main editor of this article, it's well referenced and well written. I found more than a handful of internal references to other Wikipedia articles missing as I was reading through it. I added:

  1. CD/DVD drives
  2. operating systems
  3. clones of hard disks
  4. Virtual Machine Monitor
  5. Data recovery
  6. disk imaging programs

I know Comparison of disk cloning software and disk cloning are already linked at the bottom of the article in the See also section but I thought it would help a reader to be able to see / understand the concepts in the sentence they were first used in a germane context. I also fixed the dead link and I was going to put a citation needed alert on the second sentence where it talks about sector-by-sector copy of the source medium but I found a good reference from Active Disk Image that explained it thoroughly.
