I guess my situation is unique. My laptop, which has the smallest hard disk in the house, has 130 GB of data on it. A little more than I want to backup to a stack of DVDs. My physical handicaps make it hard to even get to the other computers in our house and taking them apart with only one hand seems impossible at this point.

You can have full speech with Image For Windows if you
launch it within Windows. What I do is simply plug the hard
drive I want to work on into a USB port. I can then copy an
image of a complete hard drive, specific partition, etc.
When I'm done, I simply put this into the machine I want to
use it in as the default drive and I'm good to go.

The one "limitation" of Image for Windows is that to perform
a recovery with
speech takes a little effort.  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.

Those who haven't availed themselves of my image for
windows tutorials I
strongly suggest you give them a listen. They aren't the
best but I feel
they cover everything you need to know in order to run the
program
successfully. It will be 2 years for me here shortly with
no complaints.

Hi Samson,

Norton Ghost 12 will make an image of your harddrive but,
if you ever have
to reimage your harddrive you will need sighted
assistance.  That is why I
removed it from my computer a couple of days ago.  I have
some computer
issues that are forcing me to reformat my drive and I am
not able to do it
with this program.  I am going to run a program called
Image for Windows.
I
can't explain how it works to you because I haven't
learned how to
operate/navigate the program yet but, there are others on
this list that
use
it and have no problems.  Hopefully they will chime in
with theiropinions.
I also am running XP3 home & Jaws 10 & 11 latest.  Take
care.
Mike
