Donald, Thanks for your continued work and sharing of this project. It sounds pretty complicated to me but hope the end result is worth all the effort.
What I would like to pass on to folks that have access to more than one computer is another way to do this. It is true, you cannot restore an image to the computer you are using a current Windows session on. However, if you take the hard drive out of the computer and plug it in as another drive (internally or externally) on an alternate computer you can run Image for Windows and restore any image you would like. You then just disconnect the drive and put it back in the computer you want to use it on. By doing it this way you have JAWS to talk you through the entire restore process. I have found this option very easy to use and very versatile. If anyone needs further clarification on this simply contact me. This option is also useful if you want to change the size of the partition or go to a larger hard drive.

I have been having health and technical problems. To be more exact, I have written down instructions for creating a bootable version of Vinux 2.1 as a Live DVD or USB Pen Drive (also called a Flash drive or memory stick; I wish there was a standard term) that has Image for Linux installed. The instructions can be viewed or downloaded from the following web page: http://mysite.verizon.net/marangs/Vinux-IFL.html The technical problem I ran into is that my laptop has not been able to boot from a DVD or USB Pen Drive with speech or any other sound ever since I upgraded to Windows 7 and VMware Player 3.0. I have no idea yet why any software upgrade could possibly effect the hardware when booting into another Operating System. All of the ISO files I had previously created and which worked as well as downloading Live CD or DVD ISO images no longer make a sound. All of these images work within a Virtual Machine. As soon as I feel better, I will attempt to figure this out. I apologize that these instructions have not been verified! If you feel somewhat comfortable with these type of operations, please give these instructions a try. They are not perfect yet, but some of the brave might want to tinker. Please provide any feedback or corrections so they can be improved and easier for everyone to follow.
