TeraByte Bundle: BootIt Collection and Drive Image Suite for $59.98
The TeraByte Bundle is a $59.98 one-time package for Windows PCs that combines TeraByte's two main products: the BootIt Collection (boot manager and partition manager for BIOS and UEFI PCs) and the Drive Image Backup and Restore Suite (Image for Windows, Linux, DOS and UEFI). Bought separately they cost $89.93, so the bundle saves you $29.95, and a home license covers up to five computers in your household.
It's for the person who runs more than one operating system, resizes and moves partitions, and wants a full disk image before touching any of it. That's the exact combination these two packages were built to work together on: BootIt starts Image for DOS or Image for UEFI from its own desktop, and both read the same TBI backup files as Image for Windows.

Overview
TeraByte has made multi-boot software since the mid-1990s, and the bundle is really two toolkits that cover each other's gaps. The Drive Image Suite is about backups: Image for Windows images the running Windows drive, and Image for Linux, DOS and UEFI restore it from boot media. The BootIt Collection is about the disk itself: a boot menu for several operating systems, and a partition manager that works outside Windows.
Each package already includes some overlap (both include Image for DOS/UEFI and the OSD Tool Suite), so the bundle's value is mostly the price. It does add one thing neither package has alone: PartWork for Linux, the partition manager on Image for Linux's graphical boot media. And the scripting suite is the BootIt edition, with partitioning commands turned on.

Features
A boot manager for BIOS and UEFI PCs
BootIt gives the TeraByte Bundle its multi-boot menu: Windows, Linux, DOS and other systems on up to 16 hard drives, including logical volumes. It finds existing operating systems when you install it and adds them to the menu, and each boot item can hide or unhide partitions, swap drive order and set its own partition table. Menu items can be protected with user IDs and passwords. BootIt Bare Metal covers older BIOS PCs, and BootIt UEFI covers current PCs, with Secure Boot supported and the ability to hide GPT partitions per boot item.
BootIt UEFI's Edit Menu Item dialog: the Windows 10 entry boots bootmgfw.efi from the EFI system partition, with MBR and GPT details for two drives on the right.
Partition work Windows can't do on itself
BootIt's partition manager, included in the TeraByte Bundle, creates, moves (slides), copies, deletes and undeletes partitions, and resizes FAT, exFAT, NTFS and Linux Ext2/3/4 partitions without losing data. It converts disks between MBR, EMBR and GPT, aligns partitions for SSDs, and edits the Windows BCD store directly to fix boot errors without a Windows DVD. Because it runs before Windows loads, nothing has the system partition locked. PartWork brings the same partition manager to Windows and to the Image for Linux boot media.
BootIt Bare Metal 2.00's Work with Partitions screen, resizing a 40,858 MiB Windows 7 NTFS partition to 30,720 MB, with the Slide, Copy, Align and BCD Edit actions alongside.
Disk images from inside Windows or from boot media
The Drive Image Suite half of the TeraByte Bundle makes full or changed-only images of drives and partitions. Image for Windows backs up the running system with Volume Shadow Copy or TeraByte's PHYLock driver, can validate every byte it writes, encrypts with a password or 256-bit AES, and schedules jobs through the Windows Task Scheduler. Restores and cold backups run from Windows PE, Linux, DOS or UEFI boot media built with the included MakeDisk and TBWinPE/RE Builder tools. Images are compatible across all products with the same major version.

Scripts for deployment and repair
The TeraByte Bundle includes the OSD Tool Suite Professional for BootIt, a TBScript engine with ready-made scripts: copyp2v turns a physical Windows PC or image into a virtual machine, tbidtool deploys an image to different hardware, fixboot repairs Windows boot files, usbboot sets Windows up to run from a USB drive, and moveuser moves user folders to another drive. The BootIt edition adds chgdtype, which converts a Windows install between GPT and MBR without reinstalling, and copywin, a file-based copy of Windows to a new partition.
Benefits
- A safety net for risky disk work. Image the drive with one half, then resize or convert it with the other. If something goes wrong, the restore tool is on the same boot media.
- Old and new PCs on one license. BootIt Bare Metal and BootIt UEFI together cover a 15-year-old BIOS machine and a current Secure Boot laptop.
- Five home PCs, no renewals. $59.98 once, against yearly fees for most current backup suites.
Real-World Uses
- Adding Linux to a Windows laptop: image the drive, shrink the Windows partition in BootIt, install Linux in the free space, and pick either system from the BootIt menu.
- Testing software on several Windows versions: keep Windows 10, 11 and a test copy side by side, each hiding the others' partitions.
- Moving an old BIOS install to a new GPT drive: restore the image, then convert it to GPT with chgdtype instead of reinstalling Windows.
- Fixing a PC that won't boot: start BootIt or Image for Linux from USB, edit the BCD store or run fixboot, or restore last week's image.
Who It's For, and Who Should Skip It
The TeraByte Bundle fits enthusiasts, technicians and anyone who dual-boots or rearranges partitions often, and who's comfortable working in a pre-boot environment with a manual nearby.
Skip the bundle if you only need one half. A single-OS Windows 11 PC that just needs reliable backups is covered by the Drive Image Suite alone at $49.98. If you only want a boot menu and partition tools, the BootIt Collection alone is $39.95 and already includes Image for DOS and Image for UEFI. And if you want a modern dashboard with cloud storage, neither package is that kind of product.
Usage Guide
- Download both trials from terabyteunlimited.com: the Drive Image Suite installer (about 199 MB) and the BootIt Collection zip (about 12 MB). Install the suite, and extract the zip to a folder.
- Make a backup first: open Image for Windows, click Backup, select the whole system drive, save to a USB or network drive, and tick byte-for-byte validation.
- Create BootIt boot media: run makedisk.exe from the extracted folder, choose BootIt UEFI (or Bare Metal for an older BIOS PC), pick the Secure Boot option that matches your PC, and write it to a USB stick.
- Boot from the stick and either run BootIt from the media or install it to the hard drive. It detects your operating systems and adds them to the boot menu.
- Work on partitions: press Alt+M on the boot menu to enter Maintenance Mode, click Partition Work on the desktop for the resize, slide, copy and convert tools, and click Disk Imaging to start Image for UEFI (Image for DOS in Bare Metal).
- After buying, enter the registration details in MakeDisk's BootIt License screen and recreate the media. Trial media can't simply be upgraded in place.
Before you buy
- No refunds. TeraByte says all sales are final, so use both 30-day trials on your own hardware first, including a boot from the BootIt USB stick.
- Home vs business. The five-PC allowance is for non-business use only.
- Major versions cost extra. Updates are free within version 4 (Drive Image) and version 2 (BootIt). The next major version is a paid upgrade.
Where it falls short
- A dated, technical interface. BootIt has an old-fashioned look and uses terms like EMBR and Direct Boot that assume you know disk layouts. Partition and boot mistakes can leave a PC unbootable, so this is for people who read the manual.
- Secure Boot needs setup. BootIt UEFI's boot media has to be built for the right certificate (Microsoft 2011 CA, Microsoft 2023 CA, or TeraByte's own, which requires installing TeraByte's DB certificate).
- BootIt Bare Metal can use up a partition slot. Installing it to its own dedicated partition takes one primary partition, which matters on an MBR disk limited to four primary partitions.
- Restoring Windows means rebooting. The running Windows partition can't be restored from inside Windows.
What Users Say
There are no Trustpilot, Capterra or G2 reviews of the TeraByte Bundle itself, and few press reviews of either half. What exists comes from download sites and long-time users in forums, and it's consistently positive about reliability and price.
BootIt users on ColorMango and AlternativeTo
ColorMango's user reviews of the BootIt Collection are short, undated and unrated, but they cover real uses:
Hassan: "I'm an IT worker. I often use Bootlt Bare Metal to test my software on many different operating systems. I keep the whole testing setup on one computer. Bootlt Bare Metal is excellent. Even when my C drive is full, I don't need to reformat or reload my development computer. I just need to take 30GB from the second partition and add to the first partition."
Letalis: "It is a good boot manager. It is just what I need. Though I have never seen Bootlt Bare Metal being recommended on any computer magazines, it is truly good. It is especially ideal for multiple or dual booting."
Deepak Xavier: "Bootlt Bare Metal provides many solutions for partitioning, multi-boot, imaging, etc. It can also manage partitions for Windows Server system."
Eto Ramani adds the usual warning: "For a novice, it may be a little complicated at first, but soon you will find it powerful and work perfectly."
On AlternativeTo, jasonbrown1965 (5 stars, November 2018) used it for recovery: "Rediscovered my 32gb SD card where other recovery apps - including open source TestDisk - failed." He also noted that "the free 30 day trial does not appear to have any limits, at least not the bootit bare metal bit, so can be used in an emergency."
FileHorse's review of BootIt Collection 2.13
Michael Reynolds at FileHorse lists the pros as "All-in-One Boot Manager", "Comprehensive Disk Imaging Tools" and "Advanced Partitioning Features", and the cons as "May Require Technical Knowledge", "Potential Compatibility Issues" and "Requires Purchase for Full Features". His conclusion: "With support for both BIOS and UEFI systems, BootIt Collection is an excellent package for disk management, ..."
Image for Windows users on Eleven Forum
Stigg: "I've probably done more than one hundred Image For Windows restores over the years without a single failure."
pewa (August 2025): "I am using Image for Windows on my wife's pc. Excellent backup software. Very reliable."
The pattern: users praise reliability, the low price for what you get, the support team, and BootIt's flexibility for multi-boot test setups. The complaints are about the learning curve and an interface that hasn't changed in years, and some say TeraByte's tools are rarely mentioned in magazines, so you mostly hear about them from people who have used them for a long time.

FAQs
Is the TeraByte Bundle cheaper than buying BootIt and Image for Windows separately?
Yes. The TeraByte Bundle costs $59.98, while the Drive Image Suite ($49.98) and BootIt Collection ($39.95) cost $89.93 bought separately, a saving of $29.95.
Does BootIt UEFI work with Secure Boot on a Windows 11 PC?
Yes. BootIt UEFI supports Secure Boot. When you build its boot media you choose Microsoft 2011 CA, Microsoft 2023 CA or TeraByte's own certificate, and it needs a 64-bit UEFI 2.1 or later PC. It doesn't run in legacy BIOS mode, which is what BootIt Bare Metal is for.
Can the TeraByte Bundle convert my Windows disk from MBR to GPT?
Yes. BootIt's partition manager converts disks between MBR, EMBR and GPT, and the chgdtype script in the OSD Tool Suite for BootIt converts a Windows installation between GPT and MBR without reinstalling Windows. Make an image first.
Is the TeraByte Bundle a subscription?
No. The TeraByte Bundle is a one-time purchase with no expiration. Minor updates within the same major version are free, and moving to a new major version is a paid upgrade.
Can I install the TeraByte Bundle on more than one computer?
Yes, at home. A single TeraByte Bundle license bought for personal, non-business use covers up to five computers in the same household. Businesses need one license per computer.
Can I get a refund if the TeraByte Bundle doesn't work on my PC?
No. TeraByte doesn't refund any sale. It offers 30-day trials of both packages instead, so boot BootIt and do a test backup and restore before buying.
Is there a Mac version of the TeraByte Bundle?
No. The TeraByte Bundle is for PCs. Image for Linux and the BootIt boot manager can image and boot Linux and other systems, but there's no macOS version.
Do I still need the separate trials after buying?
No. After buying the TeraByte Bundle you download the full versions from TeraByte's purchased-versions portal and enter your product keys. BootIt boot media made from the trial should be recreated with the full version.
System Requirements
- Image for Windows: Windows 7 SP1, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11, or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to 2019 and later, on x86, x64 or ARM64
- BootIt UEFI: x64 PC with UEFI 2.1 or later, and a USB flash drive or CD/DVD for the boot media
- BootIt Bare Metal: BIOS PC with a 386 or later CPU, 16 MB RAM and a BIOS-accessible hard drive
- Disks: MBR, EMBR or GPT
- Downloads: about 199 MB (Drive Image Suite) and 12 MB (BootIt Collection)
Conclusion
The TeraByte Bundle is worth $59.98 if you'll use both halves: a boot manager and partition tool that works outside Windows, and an imaging suite you can trust to put things back. For $10 more than the Drive Image Suite alone, you get BootIt for BIOS and UEFI PCs, PartWork for Linux and the partitioning scripts, all on a no-subscription license for five home PCs. The main reason not to buy it is that it's a power-user toolkit with an old-fashioned interface and no refunds. If you never dual-boot or touch partitions, buy the Drive Image Suite alone. If you do, try both trials, and this bundle is one of the best-value disk toolkits you can buy.
