There is no way to use JAWS in safe mode because the drivers are not yet
loaded, although someone on another list has claimed that it is possible to
use NVDA in safe mode with some kind of registry hack. As for your second
question, there is no image backup program that I am aware of that is
totally JAWS accessible. The one that comes closest is Image for Windows,
which is JAWS accessible during the backup procedure but not during the
recovery procedure. On the JAWS Users audio page, David Ferrin has a
three-part tutorial that explains how to restore an image backup without
speech using Image for Windows. Note that some sighted assistance is a good
idea to insure that the restoration procedure is proceeding smoothly,
although it is not absolutely necessary as long as you are willing to back
up your entire system onto a series of DVD's. Except for David himself, I am
not aware of anyone else who has attempted to perform a full system recovery
this way. If you back up your system onto an external hard drive, you will
need to create a rescue CD that will require sighted help to use during the
recovery process, regardless of which image backup program you choose.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Using a screen reader in Safe Mode and
questionabout the best accessible backup-solution with JAWS
Hi everyone,
1. On another mailing list I have asked about sound on Windows when you
boot Windows into "Safe mode".
Since I not on the mailing list could find a link to the download-page, I
tried to ask here:
It is posible to using a screen reader when you boot Windows into "Safe
Mode", if yes, how can I do?
2. I really will backup my operating system with all informations
(settings, programs et cetera).
What backup-solution working best with JAWS (online-backup or "normaly"
backup, where you backup to a DVD or external hard drive)?
Thanks for your answer.
Regards,
Anders
