Re: backup programs
I'm using PowerQuest's DriveImage 2.0, and am VERY impressed with it so far. It creates an entire hard disk image, so you can re-install your entire hard disk in about 20 minutes... plus it supports ext2 partitions! It also has a feature to back up to Zip drives in particular. I would highly recommend this package!

I want something reliable, flexible, and easy to use (menu-driven, etc,...). Currently, I'm looking at KBackup Taper PerfectBackup BRU 2000 I have a philosophical preference for free/shareware programs in general, so I'm leaning to one of the first three. I'd be really grateful, though, if anyone on the list had experience with one or more of the above. Reliability is the main issue in the end, so if needed I'd hand over the $80 to LinuxMall for BRU, but I'm curious about the alternatives.

Re: I7K DVDROM drive for CDRW ?
I just got a call from Dell Tech support today regarding reading CD-RW on the Torisan DVD drive, and they said it will work... you just need to go to the Adaptec web site and download something called a UDF reader (it's software). They said once this is properly installed, you should be able to read a closed CD-RW on your DVD drives. I haven't tried it yet, but it's next on my to-do list!

Yes, normally all the 2nd generation DVD drive should read CDRW (Creative Labs DVD Encore does it well, why not matsushita ones). db Can anyone offer anything further on the subject of reading CD-RWs, in my case, on Matsushita DVD-ROM SR-8171?... I am trying and failing. Anyone had any luck w/ this? Does it make sense to search for new and improved drivers? (I tried System Properties Device Manager ... Update Driver ... Microsoft Windows Update, but crashed the program.)
