Sounds to me like putzing around with the hard drive without sight is a
recipe for disaster unless you know exactly waht you're doing. Also,
fooling around with the internal components of a PC will void its warranty.
I think I'll leave this to the techies.

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.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Talking Image for Windows
Recovery Disk
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond on this topic. 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.
