The best image is always made when Windows is not running. And backing up while Windows is running may cause a lot of extra drive activity (not nice when it starts failing). Here is another one, which will also run from a live CD (the Bart PE live CD, which you need to make yourself). It will cause the least stress to the drive. http://www.drivesnapshot.de/en/index.htm BartPE CD: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder Boyd -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
