Hi Don, If a person uses a dvd to save the image, the restore process for Windows is quite simple, and requires no speech, and best of all, doesn't require sighted assistance. HTH, Rick Justice

But it is the only product I have found where this is possible! Image for Windows has great technology that allows an accurate image of the disk to be made while Windows and JAWS are still running. To get speech during the recovery process, you must create a bootable live CD or DVD with some flavor of Linux. I downloaded the Virtual Edition of Vinux from http://vinux.org.uk . Vinux is a distribution of Linux configured with screen readers and magnification installed and configured. The Virtual Edition runs within Windows using the free VMware Player to emulate a virtual computer. The virtual disk is just a large file on your Windows system. The Virtual Edition is a great way to play around with Vinux with no risk of harming your Windows setup. To get the total benefit of Vinux, however, you would need to install it on a hard disk. Other safe ways to play with Vinux with no risk are to boot from a live CD (easiest, but no changes can be retained) and a bootable USB pen drive (currently technical difficulties during the creation process). I installed the Image for Linux software that comes with Image for Windows into the Vinux Virtual Edition. After installation, you need to run a setup program. which among other things asks for your Image for Linux product key. At this point, I created a bootable live CD from the Virtual Edition. Unfortunately, I can not simply upload an ISO file that others can use by burning to a CD because of the Image for Linux product key. Hopefully soon I can create a set of directions or a Linux script to make this process easier! I made quite a few mistakes and encountered slight technical issues along the way, it would be nice if others did not need to go through this.
