Introduction

Version compatibilty Starting with Imager 3.4.1, AccessData has produced a new AD1v4 image format that is different than the previous AD1v3 format. Older versions of AccessData products cannot recognize the new v4 format. As a result, two versions of Imager are available to download and use: Imager

3.4.0

Imager

3.4.2 (and later)

Use the following table to understand which products can use which AD1 format.

AD1 Image versions and supported applications    

Imager 3.4.1 and later FTK 6.0 and later Summation 6.0 and later eDiscovery 6.0 and later

Imager 3.4.0



   

FTK 5.x and earlier Summation 5.x and earlier eDiscovery 5.x and earlier Imager 3.3.x and earlier

 

If you create an AD1 using one of these products, it is created only in the new v4 format. These products can read either AD1v3 or AD1v4 image files.

This version can read either AD1v3 or AD1v4 files but creates only AD1v3 files. Use this version when working with AD1 files for 5.x versions of FTK, Summation, or eDiscovery You can use this version to open an AD1v4 file and save it as an AD1v3 file. (See below) These products can read only AD1v3 files. These products can create only AD1v3 files.

Converting v4 image files to v3 It is important to note that AD1 files created in 6.x versions of FTK, Summation, or eDiscovery are the v4 format and cannot be read by 5.x versions and earlier of those products as well as Imager 3.3.x and earlier. Using an older version of Imager will result in an "Image detection failed" error. However, you can open a v4 file in Imager 3.4.0 (only) and save it as a v3 file. To use Imager 3.4.0 to convert a v4 file to a v3 file, note the following: The

verification hashes will be different because a v4 AD1 includes GUID tables that get hashed.

To

avoid having the top-level (filesystem) node's name changed, the AD1 should be created by doing the following: Correct:

File > Create Disk Image (follow wizard)

Incorrect:

Add AD1, expand, right click on filesystem node in tree, Export Logical Image (AD1)

Note: Note: An AD1 image is not really a disk image even though the option you use is Create Disk

Image.
