actually Duocor Standby Disk does a good job of making fully boot able backups but it is still in beta and I am begging them not to loose the explorer function which has been removed ( ability to backup/restore individual files ) They currently are having trouble getting bootable x64 but x86 works fine, just not real convenient for a HD upgrade. I will look into acronis.
not having had to do any kind of repair it looks like it may do good there, on one boot one day I got some weird corrupted file message but two reboots and it was fine, no idea if Vista fixed it or I got lucky and my luck usually sucks <:-| fp At 06:28 AM 10/8/2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Poked the stick with: >What is it about "disposable" that you (not you, fufman or any computer >technician, but the typical new computer customer) that you do not understand? >Not only is all of the hardware as a composite unit disposable, but often your >data (unless you back that up properly) and most often your installation of >the operating system.
