Bob, thanks on the cudos - i got bored at work and was working on an online parts ordering system at the time - that was my o.j.t. the Ghost procedure is an off-line way to make a snapshot of any disk or partition you choose into a binary file on another disk.  you boot up in DOS and call up Ghost.  the menus are pretty straight forward, "partition to image" or "image to partition".  i have used it successfully for years and if ever my machine doesn't work properly, i just restore it from an image i made when it was clean.  i store everything on an externally connected usb drive which i leave disconnected most of the time.  i also have my primary working drive set to E: instead of C: which seems to fool a lot of virii and hacks.  my C: drive is loaded and present but not used.  serves as a dead decoy for the pirates.  make a bootable floppy and copy ghost.exe onto it.  boot on floppy and run ghost.  you'll love it. don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. dave        In a message dated 2/27/2005 9:46:20 A.M.

I think viruses are created by the darn anti-virus companies!! j/k Anyway, Since then I have been keeping busy putting shoe leather to dreams....(so to speak). My hair is getting gray and my eyes are burning outta my head from looking at the computer so long but it is all soooo worth it.   As some of you might remember I have been working with DVR for 5+ years now, trying to become a "Mobile Archery Instructor".......well...I'm almost there. The strars are finally ligning up! Full moon on my b-day this month, says so! The new van is in town, being set-up.....see attached pic!! Its frickin amazing! 2005' E-350 with a 9" Norcal drop floor which allows me to pull all the way under the wheel! Now theres no need for all the digital controls. I can now, manually reach and control all functions and switches.   This means less $$, less maintenance, fewer things to go wrong, more physical and safer because now im not sitting so far back n up so high. Great, all the way around.   My first attemp at a website is up and runnin as well! Check it out at www.nextsteparchery.com HTML, Frames, Frontpage, Photoshop, FTP's .......PCP's.......lol   That stuff will drive a person bannanas!! All I know is my head hurts.....lol Just kidding, its all kinda fun butt I cant wait to be done.  haha  I still have tons of info, pics n videos yet to put on my website. It is a work in progress but i'm opening my doors officially in April so I'v got some time. I do have 5 students now, 3 of them just won State events and the others are making progress!! Its feels nice to see "I do" have something to contribute and "I can" make a difference!!   All that, plus the "reward" of working so hard, for so long thru all the frustraion, the pain, the red tape and levels of buerocracy. The "reward", is my FREEDOM!! Then, the sky is the limit and I plan to settle on cloud 9!!    I want to thank everyone on the Quad-List for being here. When things got rough.... you guys were always here. Now your here for the good part too!! All the support and just knowing there is always other people here, who understand and are willing to help. Thats so cool. You all have helped me very very much......THANK YOU!! Now who needs some Archery lessons??   lol....j/k Bob Hickey C 4-5 89' Diving   The moral flabbiness born of the bitch goddess Success.
