Abstract
Data structures and methods for imaging computer readable media are provided. A data structure used to recreate computer readable media is provided having a type identifier used to identify a type of image data originally imaged. Further, a length data identifies the size of a data stream which is a portion of a file associated with the image data, wherein the data stream combined with additional data streams are operable to form a complete file. Moreover, a method of collecting image data is provided wherein control data is associated with a file residing in the image data, the control data includes a partition type, compression type, file length, and one or more file set types. Furthermore, the control data are organized on a computer readable medium, along with the file. Also, a method of customizing the creation of an image on a computer readable medium is provided wherein zero or more exclude files in an image source are identified and are not included in a created image target. The created image target includes one or more files which are identified as files to retain from the image source.
