Acronis True Image home (11?)
CD is bootable and uses a Linux shell to clone drives. I use USB
adapters for the external drive.
Just used it a few weeks ago when I upgraded the drive on my
laptop. Took a few hours, but worked nicely and nary a hiccup when I
swapped drives.

Two months ago my boot disk on my PC failed, I opted to do a clean
install of Windows XP Pro on a new disk instead of a disk image
backup of the failed disk. Reason: the computer had become so slow
to operate that I was fretting. With a clean install, the computer
now has a rejuvenated life.
So, what's the problem? Took a week to install the most used programs.
Worse, some original disks application disks were gone missing, so I
will have to buy same. Most expensive, a $600 application, followed
by a $170 application, and more. If I had installed the backup
image, I think that all programs would have been available as before.
Just realized tonight that I haven't yet installed Microsoft Office
-- been happily using the computer without it.
Question for this group: is there a way of installing a program
from a backup image (DriveImage, similar to Ghost image) onto a boot
disk without the original program disks?
