* Can also be controlled over the user interface. If you're not sure, make changes over the user interface. There you can find additional explanations and selection options.
** The format of image files was extended in O&O DiskImage 4. In addition to the imaged data, checksums are placed in the image so that an identity check can be carried out for data inside the image. Older versions of O&O DiskImage do not recognize this extended image format and would label the image as invalid. To help older versions of O&O DiskImage work with images created by a newer version, the new version can create an image using the "old" format.
