I have a couple suggestions for your consideration. First, anyone who is doing anything serious with a PC needs this: http://www.dfsee.com/ It works on DOS, OS/2, Win and Linux, and the CD boots FreeDOS. The most powerful thing it does is fix confused HDDs; like lost partition tables. And the author will help. It also does a bit-for-bit, drive-to-drive copy. This is a pic of my backup and storage box. https://picasaweb.google.com/110720715566253280768/ScreenShots#5620366853489847778 It is connected to a LAN, but it is also the ultimate sneaker net. All my HDDs, on every machine, are front panel plugin. Backup consists of; plug in the HDD you want to copy, plug in a blank HDD at least as large as what you want to copy, boot - the racks are hot swappable, the OSs are not - , run DFSee, select the partition(s) or drive to be copied, and go to lunch. Restore just reverses the process.
